Not all it's cracked up to be!

by roadbuilder3 , Apr 07 '03
Pros: Easy to set up, monitor plugs directly into tower. All software pre loaded!
Cons: Difficult to backup to CD-RW! Crash's when woken from sleep mode! Very Noisy! Imovie!
I have tried all of the new mac's after being discouraged with windows. Imac, power mac, 1.25, 1.42. I returned the last system, 1.42 $4200 with 17" monitor. I bought the mac to do video editing! Imovie is not what it says it is, thats only for making...

Not sure why they call it Multimedia ?

by dougmjones Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 03 '02
Pros: Slick looking, solid built, Imovie and IDVD
Cons: No mic, small kb, single butt mouse, limited support, No audio inputs
Don't get me wrong. I love this machine for many reasons but some of the claims border on hipocracy. They don't bother telling you that you will need to buy a USB audio device since this machine has no analog inputs or outputs and no digital inputs. In...

The single greatest purchase - ever.

by SaintStryfe , Oct 09 '01
Pros: Extreme cool factor, great specs, OS 10.1
Cons: Cost can be prohibitive
My Power Mac G4 Tower is, quite simply stated, the best purchase I have had the chance to make in my short life. My Tower (A G4 server edition, which I lovingly call DAMMAGE - The Dangerous Array of Macintosh Malevolence And General Entrophy) is speced...

Fast, easy and beautiful

by thomasthu , Jul 20 '01
Pros: Fast, easy to use, good security, good Software, advanced technic
Cons: none
We have energy problems often, like fallouts or fluctuating energy levels. One day I connected the Mac to a plug without ground cable, and the following fluctuation burned the Macs transformer. But this Computer is build so stable and in such good...

A good computer but better PC options are out there for less money

by libera , Apr 02 '01
Pros: RISC processors are FAST. Mac OS is stable and nice to look at
Cons: Expandability, software, and Price. Typical MAC problems
I have worked with this computer at work enough to be able to accuratley rate it. First things first, the RISC processors that MAC's use are fast. Most people know that you cannot compare RISC processors to x86 processors mhz for mgh because of the...

Still better than a PC...

by scottaritt , Mar 27 '01
Pros: Its a Mac! Ease of use and crossplatform capatibility.
Cons: G4's are stuck to OS9.
I have been using my G4 with 350mg RAM for about a year and have FINALLY worked out all the little idiosincracies with the OS9 platform. You need to update the system immediately and get the latest version of the DVD and CD drivers. Upgrade to as much...

Pros: Speed Picture
Cons: none that I can see
This beast has been in my home for lest than 24 hours and I'm completely blown away. The first thing I noticed was it's amazing graphic capability. The picture in the box is clearer than my television. I have never seen anything like it before. The...

*xlr8 G4/400 upgrade* - sweet!

by beanbear , Mar 01 '01
Pros: speed, price, stability, adjustable jumpers
Cons: none
Abstract:

There's not CPU upgrade section, but I think that before people plunk down money on a new G4, you should read this review...especially if you have a lot of money/effort sunk into an existing Mac.

Power Mac Dual Processor 533mhz G4

by ortica , Feb 21 '01
Pros: Great speed and ease of use, upgradability, and price performance ratio.
Cons: Apple tech support is only average. No sound in port or option for dvd/cd-rw
I have wanted to purchase a new computer for the last eight months and finally took the plunge. I have made the transition from an iMac revision b, 466mhz 160mb ram, to a new Power Mac Dual G4 533mhz with an ATi Radeon graphics card. The G4 feels much...

This is a great product!

by simac , Feb 18 '01
Pros: It's fast, and the ease of use is tough to beat.
Cons: Noisy fan, sometimes.
My Power Macintosh G4 is great. I can run Linux, Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and Windows (with Virtual PC) on it. Of course, I prefer Mac OS, although I sometimes use Linux. It's very fast at encoding MP3s and doing Photoshop filters. My DVD-RAM lets me store...

PowerMac G4/533- the Next Generation!

by PeteChin88 , Feb 02 '01
Pros: CDRW is spiffy, nVidia graphics rock! (more in the article)
Cons: CDRW is only 8X, expensive compared to PCs, dang thing still weighs 30 lbs
Just like a review for Maybelline Great Lash begins: "for some reason I couldn't find a separate topic.." Since Epinions hasn't made a new category for the new MacWorld 2001 PowerMacs (hint hint, wink, nudge) it may as well go in here.

the great G4

by geoffreysnow , Dec 29 '00
Pros: everything about it!
Cons: the price
I have always had a Mac and will continue to buy them. The reason is simple. I feel that they are just so much better that those mass produces, no name PC's. Sure, there are a few PC brands out there that have a reputation that is decent, but no...

things have changed

by cnielsen , Dec 11 '00
Pros: fast, runs very clean, no headaches from crashes despite the amount of multitasking going on
Cons: most apps dont use dual-processor functionality yet
I hate computers. Unfortunately, I depend on them. I design websites during the day, and produce dance music at night. I do love the software, I just hate the computer.

For hating computers, the Macintosh has been my least-hated one. I have...
