Explanation

The order from earliest to most recent is IBM 701, IBM 1620, Altair 8800, Apple Macintosh and Apple iMac.

The IBM 701 came first in the early 1950s as an early large mainframe computer.

The IBM 1620 followed later in that decade as a smaller scientific machine.

The Altair 8800 arrived in the mid 1970s and helped spark the personal-computer hobby.

The Apple Macintosh of the mid 1980s brought a graphical interface with a mouse to the mass market.

The Apple iMac of the late 1990s is the most recent, an all-in-one home computer.
