Regulatory Compliance Information

FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or television reception is suspected.

L‘utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes: (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

Radio and Television Interference

This computer equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

ÂTurn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

ÂMove the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.

ÂMove the computer farther away from the television or radio.

ÂPlug the computer in to an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., could void the EMC compliance and negate your authority to operate the product.

This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables (including Ethernet network cables) between system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices.

Personal Computer specifications

The Apple Personal Computer, commonly known as the Apple PC, has significantly shaped the landscape of personal computing since its inception. The first model, the Apple I, was introduced in 1976 and marked the beginning of a new era in technology. It was designed primarily for hobbyists, featuring a single-board computer with basic components, and required users to provide their own keyboard and display. This marked the start of Apple's journey in the personal computer market.

One of the standout features of Apple PCs has always been their user-friendly interface. The introduction of the graphical user interface (GUI) with the Macintosh in 1984 revolutionized how users interacted with computers. The mouse-driven GUI made it accessible to a broader audience, including those who were not technically inclined. This focus on ease of use has remained a core principle in Apple's design philosophy.

Apple's hardware design is another hallmark of its personal computers. The aesthetics of Apple PCs are characterized by sleek, minimalist designs that blend functionality with elegance. The use of high-quality materials, such as aluminum and glass, not only contributes to their stunning appearances but also enhances durability. The Retina display technology introduced in later models provides stunning visuals with sharp resolutions and vibrant colors, making them ideal for creative professionals.

In terms of performance, Apple PCs offer powerful hardware configurations. The transition to its own silicon with the M1 chip in 2020 marked a significant leap, providing increased performance, efficiency, and battery life compared to previous Intel-based models. The M1 chip integrates the CPU, GPU, and RAM into a single system on a chip (SoC), enabling faster processing speeds and improved power management.

Connectivity is another crucial aspect of Apple PCs. They typically feature various ports, including USB-C, Thunderbolt, and HDMI, allowing users to connect a wide range of peripherals and external displays. The inclusion of wireless technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ensures seamless connectivity, enhancing the overall user experience.

Security is paramount in Appleā€™s ecosystem, and its personal computers come equipped with features like Touch ID and secure boot to safeguard user data. The macOS operating system, known for its stability and regular updates, further enhances security while providing a seamless integration with other Apple devices, promoting a cohesive ecosystem.

In conclusion, the Apple Personal Computer remains a symbol of innovation, blending advanced technology with elegant design. Its evolution has not only defined Apple's identity but also set standards in the personal computing industry, making it a preferred choice for creative professionals, students, and casual users alike.
