The Pliché was an all-in-one desktop computer that resembled the Apple iMac. It was introduced in 1999 by Fujitsu and quickly taken off the market due to Apple's legal actions against other companies for attempting to steal a concept that Apple deemed its intellectual property.

There were differences between the iMac and the Pliché, and other iMac knock-offs: they did not use the Apple operating system, nor the G3 RISC processor.
