G4 - Cube - A PC Users Opinion

by Destinys-Child Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 23 '00
Pros: Nice Looking - Fast
Cons: Not enough upgrade possibility - EXPENSIVE
I have one friend of mine that I have known for years who is a serious “Macaholic”. I haven’t been able to get him to come over to the darkside (PC Users) since I have known him. This helps me out because it gives me an opportunity to review Macs as...

Indulgence Cubed

by vorak , Oct 03 '01
Pros: Powerful, beautiful, functional
Cons: Not expandable (for processor and certain cards)
The Apple G4 Cube may someday become a collector's item. Behold, you've heard it here first.

But as Today matters most, Apple's G4 Cube is a modern day marvel of Apple Computer's engineering which has reduced this remarkable machine to one...

The Power Macintosh G4 Cube - Why I'm Not Buying

by emlin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 09 '00
Pros: Small, cute, and well-designed
Cons: It's a Mac
I wish I liked Apple. Actually, I wish I was prepared to buy the Power Macintosh G4 Cube and begin replacing all my PC-only software. But I'm just not ready...yet. I'm sure this review will result in many "Recommended" and less...

by iBen , Jul 31 '00
Pros: Engineering Marvel. Supercomputer speeds in small form factor. COOOOL!
Cons: Expensive. Limited Expandability. Strange sound system.
If there was any doubt before that Apple was thinking different, the Cube silences them all. When I describe the Cube to people, I start out by telling them to imagine the top of the line Power Mac G4 tower, with the supercomputer on a chip and...

It looks like a toaster, but my toaster's more reliable!

by divad23 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 12 '00
Pros: A lefitimately good DVD player.
Cons: Crashes frequently; cube heats up because it is too small to have a fan.
My girlfriend recently purchased a Mac G4 Cube for her personal use at the beginning of her senior year of high school. Now, I've never been a big fan of Macs, but I didn't want to discourage a dedicated Mac user, so she went ahead with her...

Jetson's Toaster - G4 Cube

by cicibaxter , Jul 30 '00
Pros: Stylish, Elegant, Quiet
Cons: Expensive, little room for upgrade inside
When Steve Jobs revealed the PowerMac G4 Cube at the MacWorld, some diehard fans instantly loved the appliance-look, while others hated it. Having a chance to talk with many attendants, I received many input which helped me make a decision to purchase...

Pros: Silent, compact, very sophisticated design
Cons: Doesn't completely solve cable clutter
A Desktop Computer that Belongs on a Desk Top
Normally, I would never let a computer CPU on my desk, much like I would never let a long-haired, slobbering collie on my sofa. I have a row of bulky, noisy tower computers, two Dells and a Mac G3, lined...

Where Does IT Belong?

by DJC750 , Aug 21 '00
Pros: Small, Quiet, Fast and Graphically Oriented
Cons: Expensive, Little Room for Expandability
Let me first say that I DO NOT have a G4 cube. I am however, relatively knowledgeable about Macintosh computers, or so I would like to believe. I have also had some experience with the cube through work and the Mac Exposition as well as reading...

the right machine for the right job

by marniejoyce , May 09 '01
Pros: size and shape make it a great machine for fussy spaces
Cons: not infinitely upgradeable
The thing is this. Most people buy one computer and they want it to cover all the bases for the best price. Of course. This makes perfect sense. But there is more to consider than simply how fast, how expandable, how much.

I use a lot of...

A Work of Art, A Good Piece of Engineering

by calbear81 , Sep 15 '00
Pros: Compact, Sleek and Modern
Cons: Pricey, Medium Performance
Introduction

The Cube caught my attention when Apple first revealed it to the world. How could you pack a whole computer into that little 8x8x10 inch box? I'll tell you how, you take a G4 450 standard and you take out the air and you...

Aesthetics Sold Me: Cube vs. Tower

by if6was9 , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Aesthetically fantastic. Competitive performance. Nice accessories included.
Cons: A little slower and weaker than G4 tower, no audio input
I've been a Mac user for a long time, and was in the market for a new desktop model for my home when the cube came out, and I felt compelled to buy it purely for aesthetic reasons. It's not that different from your standard G4 tower, with the exception...

The Power Mac G4 Cube from an amature's point of view

by 123kitty , Sep 20 '00
Pros: Reliable, Compact, Powerful
Cons: Very low RAM considering other components
As I was pondering which new apple product to buy, as I have 4 now in my house, I was looking at the iBook and its features, (for school naturally). When I realized that it had limited space, limited connections, and was quite heavy (almost 15 pounds), I...
