Apple Power Macintosh G4 Base

Pros: Fast, easy to use
Cons: none when compared to a PC clone

G4, the newest thing from apple is so fast and reliable that it will make you think, "How was I ever able to put up with anything else?". G4 uses the state of the art technology to provide the best computing experience to its users. Just how...

Pros: Speed, quality, made by Apple, and features
Cons: none that I can see

The G4 is an awesome machine, it uses a state of the art chip... the G4, or the 7500 series. This chip is so innovative and fast because of the design. A normal computer has a processor and memory. The system bus is the path between. Let's say you have a...

Pros: Fast; costs the same as PC if you need power
Cons: Mouse that ships only has one button

(new and improved review!)

stability
My first computer was a PowerMac 7200. That computer was slow and crashy, but that was the norm in Macs during the Dark Years so I didn't worry about it.

This computer is much...

Pros: Case design, quality components, feels solid, quiet, looks cool, works great
Cons: Too pretty to put under desk

When I got my new Powermac G4 home, I noticed that someone at Apple® spent some time packaging it, a sign of quality. It took only minutes to set up, only 4 wires (power, keyboard, ADC®, and printer). That makes it east to set up, another plus.
...

Pros: Incredibly fast, lot's of storage space, stable
Cons: The Macintosh OS!

I just bought myself one of these computers and boy do they fly. I used to play some high speed games on my old PIII, but with this new one, the games run at about 2 times faster. This computer is incredible!

Also, this computer has a lot of...

Pros: Fast Graphics Machine
Cons: Terrible Mouse, Unstable Operating System

I'll preface this review by saying that I have owned both PC's and macs in the past. I use both at home and work, and find each useful for certain projects.

The graphite G4's are fabulous if you are into graphic design or photo manipulation....

Pros: Mac OS/Performance/Chassis
Cons: Somewhat Pricey

I didn't want to enter the new millennium with an 80 MHz computer, so I opted on getting a new G4. I purchased my Mac back in 1986, and it still works! (Can you say that about PC's?) I had a 7100/80 before buying this G4, which was a rock solid...

Pros: Great computer for the multimedia professional or enthusiast
Cons: Not great for web browsing (slow)

Why:
I've always loved Apple. Even in their days of doldrums. Back when they were as beige as others. I upgraded my old 8500 for the new Multiprocessor G4. I wanted a machine that is easy to edit Digital Video and has the support of the industry and...

Pros: blazing-fast speed
Cons: where's the software?

Apple Computer has always kept me a satisfied customer. Fourteen years and five computers later, I discovered the G4. What a machine!
Despite my obvious bias as a fervent Mac enthusiast, I must say, the power of the G4 is not to be reckoned...

Pros: super fast, big hard drive, upgradable, good for memory-hogging apps, looks slick and professional
Cons: a little pricey

When the computer lab on my college campus upgraded from older mac processors to the then-new G3 systems, I thought all was right with the world at last. Until I saw the graphite case of the super-fast G4s. Never before has a computer been so beautiful...

Pros: Hip Design, Super fast, Great for Graphics, Built-in CD-R drive
Cons: No Floppy, price

I am a graphic designer, so when I needed a new computer, it was a no-brainer. I wanted a new G4 macintosh.

I paid $1600 for the base model. It comes with a 466mhz processor, 128mb of RAM, an optical mouse, extended keyboard, and the kicker-...

Pros: Speed, User friendly.
Cons: No 3 1/2" floppy drive

I am a graphic coordinator for a flexible packaging company. I recently upgraded to a Power Mac G-4 400mhz, 10gig hard drive.
Naturally none of the IT guys in the plant wanted anything to do with a "MAC". I had to install a scsi card to...

Pros: Power and speed
Cons: No SCSI Card, have to purchase serperatly

I hope that those of you who read this article take it as seriously as I have taken the advice from others. I use this G4 as a desktop machine and a server. I host 400 users at our school. This includes students and staff. This machine handles it...

Pros: fast speed, excellent sound quality, great expansion possibilities, etc
Cons: Macintosh

I hate Macintosh computers, but i can't hate this one. It's too good. This computer has dual 400 MegaHertz processors and at least 64 MB of Ram. Also, this computer has an amazing design feature, it has no internal fan. Yes, like all Mac computers,...

Pros: fast processor, cool looks
Cons: none

the apple g4 400 is very slick.

I bought the machine about a month ago and it has proven a nice transition from a ppc7500.
