PowerMac G3 All-in-One
233MHz Molar Mac
Historical Context
The Power Macintosh G3 All-in-One was Apple’s last beige all-in-one desktop and one of the clearest bridges between the pre-iMac education Macs and the radically redesigned consumer machines that followed. Sold primarily to schools in 1998, it paired a fast G3 processor with a rugged, classroom-friendly design, making it an important transitional model just before the iMac reshaped Apple’s desktop identity. Nicknamed the 'Molar Mac' for its unusual case design.
