The All-In-One model was introduced in April 1998 as a replacement for the Power Macintosh 5400 and 5500,[20]and sold exclusively to the education market. The All-In-One model has a "molar"-like form factor, while its the top and rear are covered in a translucent plastic with machined holes (a design language reminiscent of the then-upcoming iMac). The model has several design features oriented towards the education market, including a slide-out tray for accessing the logic board, recessed rear I/O to make it easier to push the computer up against walls, and dual front headphone jacks for audio sharing.[21][22]
The G3 AIO was available in two basic configurations, a 233 MHz version with a floppy drive and a 4 GB hard drive, and a 266 MHz version with a built-in Zip drive, floppy drive, and either a "Whisper" personality card or an All-In-One version of the "Wings" personality card. It was the last Macintosh to ship with an internal floppy disk drive. It shipped with Mac OS 8.1.[21] The machine is also noted for its considerable 60 lb (27 kg) weight.[22][21]
When the iMac G3 was introduced, the G3 AIO and iMac were sold together to the education market until the G3 AIO was discontinued.[23]
