4. Mcintosh 128KB (1984)

Mcintiosh is the fruit. Macintosh is the computer.

Also what about Apple III, Lisa, Macintosh s/e, macintosh plus, pippin, 20th anniversary mac You mentioned the G3/G4 iMAcs, but you probably should do the same for the iBook

I'm sure wikipedia has a list of all the products apple made.

Mcintiosh is the fruit. Macintosh is the computer.

Actually there's a little more to it than that, and it's a milestone in Apple history that just had a 40th anniversary last month! Apple actually wanted to call it "McIntosh" but that was the name of well-known audio company, so they used "Macintosh". However, it was still rejected as a trademark due to the similarity. So, Steve Jobs went to McIntosh and was able to get their approval to use the name anyway for an undisclosed amount.

Today in Apple history: Steve Jobs secures Macintosh name

On November 16, 1982, Steve Jobs wrote to the head of McIntosh Labs, requesting to use the name "Macintosh" for Apple's new computer.

Apple actually wanted to call it "McIntosh"

Oh I know - they couldn't use the actual apple fruit name because it was trademarked.

Its like Jobs picking the name Apple, simply because it comes before Atari in a phone book, whom both Jobs and Woz worked at, and wanted to basically compete against.
