Apple Power Macintosh G4 Multimedia

Pros: Powerful system and computing abilities
Cons: lack of programs and products

Dear Consumer,
I have recently bought the Apple G4. The reason I chose an Apple product over the leading IBM/PC systems is because of the reputation of being a leader in computer graphics. In my opinion, the G4 lives up to its reputation as being...

Pros: Super fast, Great for Graphics and looks cool
Cons: none

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 them. Apple...

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...

Pros: Fast and versatile
Cons: Mouse and keyboard are poorly designed

I'm writing this review on my Mac G4. It's a great, fast, and good looking computer but I still can't understand what happen with the design of the mouse (yes that sort of puck that drives users nuts) as well as the keyboard. It seems like Apple ran out...

Pros: Really fast
Cons: Monitor isn't that large

My wife and I decided to purchase the Macintosh G4 with a dual processor mainly because she is a graphic artist and uses many graphic intensive software applications that used to crash our older PC (a regular power Mac). The famed "frozen Mac"...

Pros: fast, nice mac
Cons: expensive, bad usb, bad switches

I bought two of these macs for work and both do the job for which they were chosen. We got these expensive ($2500) macs (G4 450, 128MbRAM, 20Gb HD, ATIrage video, DVD) in addition to less expensive ($1500) but more powerful PC's (PIII 550, 128MB RAM,...

Pros: fast, expandable, very cool looking
Cons: crummy mouse and keyboard

The G4/450 (or G4/400) is a very solid computer that represents the best of the Macintosh line: fast, easy to set up and use, the latest advanced ports (USB and Firewire), expandable, and above all, it's cool looking! This box looks so good I didn't hide...

Pros: Fast, performs every task needed brilliantly
Cons: Limited game library ...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, built in FireWire, AltiVec subprocessor, huge storage.
Cons: None.

I have a Power Mac G4 450. And you know what? I'm on it now. I have many, many, many computers, but this is the one I choose to use the most. It is very and reliable. Perfect for the power user, but for a family user, eg checking their AOL mail, word...

Pros: fast, stylish design
Cons: new, unproven over time

The G4 is the fifth Macintosh computer my wife and I have owned and we are extremely impressed. I use the computer primarily for the Internet and for multi-media games with heavy graphics. The games had a sad tendency to crash our previous computers,...

Pros: accessibility, speed
Cons: relies heavily on USB products

You don't really appreciate this machine until you need to open it up. When I first read about how easy it was to add cards, memory, etc. I felt that was not a big deal, it's not something you do every day, after all. However, when you DO open it up, and...

Pros: Great digital workstation
Cons: poor speaker

Macintosh keeps making things easier. I was amazed at the speed and the versatileness of the new G4. I myself own a Macintosh G3 350mhz with 292 megs of ram and a thirty-seven gig hard drive to run Adobe Premiere 5.1 in Quicktime, along with Protools...

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...

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...

Pros: high speed, low cost, extended warranty, great options
Cons: less than informed sales help

My girlfriend and I recently purchased one of these monster processors directly from Apple's online store. Although we didn't get the best advice from the Apple sales rep on all the possible choices (he didn't suggest Applecare, for example), the...
