Apple Power Macintosh G4 Base

Pros: Inexpensive professional quality.
Cons: Quirky USB connectors

I got the G4 base system for a video project, just when it came out. With Apples Final Cut Pro software, this was truly a plug and play affair. I did have to sort out some system extensions for my foreign-language operating system (Mac 9.0.4) and the...

Pros: Great styling, speed, power, value.
Cons: No floppy drive.

The Power Mac G4 has the speed and capability to perform pretty much anything you could want. I have read opinions of those that say that Windows machines are better than these new Mac systems based on that the latest PC configuration is a 1.1 GHz...

Pros: Looks cool, fast
Cons: Expensive, people hate macs

I knew I needed a new computer. I had to decide if I was going to get another mac or a PC. PCs generally are just a load of trouble. Things stop working randomly, everything requires driver updates and all that stuff, and overall it's just a lot more...

Pros: great looks and processing ability
Cons: still a mac

Apple computers are very easy to use and Power Macintosh Base G4's are significant good machines and they look fabulous. There are pros and cons about everything though. You just have to know what you are using this computer for. If you want to run a...

Pros: Blistering speed
Cons: Where's the professional mouse?

This machine is by and large the fastest desktop you can buy. In the office, where we do "real work" and don't play games, we can't buy a better machine for Prepress work (Quark, Photoshop, etc). The machines are rock solid and have cut...

Pros: Fast. As in real fast
Cons: keyboard is a surefire carpal-tunnel killer; monitor needs its own zipcode

I just got this zippy little machine at work. It makes my G3 seem like a Commodore 64. Absolutely no complaints about the speed. The huge screen is great. Definitely a great machine.

But two little niggly comments. What masochist designed...

Pros: Easy upgrade, service
Cons: none

It's a dream system - the Power Macintosh G4 Tower. Apple advertises the Motorola/IBM G4 processor as "Pentium crushing". This system comes studded with “anything crushing” specs. There is the MacOS Sytem 9.0, which is the latest...

Pros: The ability to do a gigaflop and the velocity engine
Cons: Programs need to be rewritten to use the velocity engine to its full potential

Apple has been leading the way in computer innovations for about a year and a half now, and the G4 does not disappoint. With 128-bit processing power and the ability to do gigaflops, this makes the most powerful computer to date. This computer is so...

Pros: Fast, you can install ram while it's on.
Cons: None

This computer has an incredible amount of pros, and no cons. First off, it's processor runs at incredible speeds, and is great for graphic work in photoshop. It's body is designed like the G3, so that you can actually add more ram without turning the...

Pros: speed, power, beautiful to look at
Cons: none

The Power Mac G4 is quite simply the greatest computer ever made to run any sort of graphics applications. Its the fastest computer I have ever used. If you puch your computer to the limits in any way, especialy graphically, than you're missing a lot...

Pros: Easy to use. Fast. Beautiful.
Cons: Expensive

I've always been a hard core IBM compatible PC man. So when I was given the task of setting up a brand new G4 500mhz with 256 megs of memory, I was a little intimidated. I have never worked on a macitosh and I had no experience with the OS. What I...

Pros: Sleek, sexy case, uses Mac OS
Cons: "Mouse"-y puck, flimsy cd door

With a body to die for and a processor touted as a "supercomputer" on a chip, it could be easy to overlook any shortcoming of the G4. After all, the G4 includes state-of-the-art FireWire, USB and an AGP slot. It's easy to get into with its...

Pros: Fast, reliable, expandable, and low-cost for high quality.
Cons: very little software included

Apple's latest offering to the personal computing market, the Power Macintosh G4, builds on Apple's current market strategy of form AND function. In a stylish metallic and clear casing, the G4 is probably one of the most impressive looking PCs ever...

Pros: Extremely fast computer that runs the MacOS
Cons: High price, slow speed compared to Intel's new chipsets.

It looks nice on the outside, and is easy to gain access to for upgradeing. It is also a nice size compared to the the Mini Towers that are becoming more and more popular among PC's.

The hardware inside of the machine is adequite to most of...

Pros: fast, cheap, cool and overall fantastic
Cons: none I can think of

I am using this computer right now and I love it. Not only is the first fun and cool looking computer but it's very powerful. Apple has always been a favorite of mine. Since I first got the SE30 for about $2000-3000, I've have always loved...
