Pros: Fast, powerful, trouble-free Cons: Cheesy mouse and keyboard, looks a bit like a toy
This is a significantly revised version of an earlier deleted opinion
Just to give you a little history on me and my computers...I bought my first Mac when I was in graduate school - a Mac Plus. Ever heard of that? I paid about the...
Pros: Looks great, quiet operation, runs the latest MacOS Cons: Awful keyboard and mouse
Most of you have probably seen the “Switch” campaign that Apple Computer has been airing on TV for the last months, claiming how much better Macs are compared to PCs. You’ve probably seen screenshots of Mac OS X, or maybe even played with it...
Pros: Fast, stable, expandable, very cheap now! Cons: Some don't like the design
I am a Mac convert (used to have total disdain for them) because of OS 8.5 and this computer. I do tech support for both Macs and PCs, so I have a lot of experience fixing and working with computers, and the more I fix PCs the more I appreciate Macs...
Pros: Easy to set up and use! Cons: Misinformation about Mac's make getting answers hard.
I have two G3's. One a 450Mhz and the other a 350Mhz (upgraded to 450) with DVD, both systems are running OS9. I also have a older Dell Optiplex PII 450 as my NT Server that the Mac's share along with my IBM Thinkpad 600X and Powerbook G3.
Pros: Reliability, Speed, Price, Capability, and smooth design too! Cons: not a thing
I was sat down in front of an Apple computer at around age 3. What can I say, I was a precocious child and my father was looking for a way to shut me up. Unfortunately for him, he only jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I'm sure those new G4s and nifty blue and white G3s are great. But what about those old, first generation Beige (actually, gray. The last beige computer I used was out old Mac Plus) G3's?
Well, they're still pretty nice, and with a few slight...
The only contact I have with G3's is at my university. Man, I was impressed with my department that I work for, mainly because they were upgrading. I had wanted a G3 of my own, but thought I'd check it out before making a purchase that big.
Pros: Easy enough for a child to use. Cons: The mouse and key board.
I realize that I will probably get blasted both by Apple lovers and by anyone who feels that this epinion isn't technical enough. I'm not a technical person, but like most other Americans, I do use technology on a daily basis. I know what I like and...
Pros: Style, Easy access to inside for upgrades, Reliable, Fast Cons: Useless mouse and keyboard
The PowerMac G3 comes in 3 processor speeds: the Motorola 350, 400, and 450MHz PowerPC chip. But if you're a smart computer shopper, you know not to merely compare and look at MHz, because that is not the end-all-be-all indicator of a computer's speed...
Pros: Fast. Stable. Good quality. Excellent flip-down case. Stylish. Cons: Weird mouse. Bug with ATI card needs patch. Keyboard missing back-delete
I've been using a Mac G3 for over a year now. A large part of my work involves graphics design since I'm in the advertising business. I also use a PC running Windows 98 (P-III 550MHz). Generally I've been happy with the G3, especially if I compare the...
Pros: reliable, ages well, value, expansion room Cons: lots of newer models out there
Synopsis:
Not the fastest or coolest Mac, but damn it, the beige G3 desktop ages better than I could have ever expected. Incredibly cost-effective to own over a couple of years.
Pros: Style,power,flexibility Cons: She doesn't make coffee
Me and my Blue & White G3 (B & W) have spent a wonderful year together. I first met her at MacWorld '99. There she was on the stage with proud papa Jobs touting her style,power and flexibility. It was very exciting and I had to have one! After...
This computer is such a great change from my Apple PPC 8500 150 MHZ machine. I have found such hard time using the old machine for more than several months. This new look make the Apple machines wonderful. I love the new colors and molded curves. I...
Pros: Fast and Easy To Use Cons: No Floppy and Cheesey Looking Input Devices
I have now had my G3 system for about four months. I chose the Mac system after having used IBM and compatibles and earlier Apple systems. I had had the opportunity to try the Windows system a few times too. The G3 is however the first really up to...
Pros: One fine computer Cons: May cost a little more than a Windows platform (but worth it)
What can I add to what has already been written? Just my personal opinion, I guess. I will not apologize! I like Macintosh computers. The G3 that I have at home and the one I use in my lab at work are great computers. But let's face it ... there are...
Just spent the weekend with three other computer professionals, all of us using both Macs and PCs. We all do a little bit of everything, but one of us is a programmer, one a network administator, one a graphic artist/web designer, and one a...
Pros: Power, speed, beauty, utility Cons: None. You don't need a floppy drive.
(Please note, I have the 350 mhz, 128 meg RAM, Zip Drive, CD-ROM G3)
I owned an Apple Performa 6290 for 2.5 years and I put it through its paces - adding memory alone (up to its whopping 64MB limit) earned me several gashes. It was slow and...
I have to admit I do not like the trends that Apple is moving towards, for the most part. They have spent a lot of effort distinguishing their products from the PC market. Fortunately, they are also getting around to...
Pros: Great colors, super fast, loaded for the price! Cons: None!
This computer is absolutely awesome! If you are a Mac user, or are looking into a computer that is easy to use, fast, and not going to kill your bank account, then this is the computer for you! Very fast performance, great expansion and peripheral...
Pros: Speed, looks, great OS Cons: No serial port? (not important)
Being a computer science major, and using PC's (specifically a Dell Optiplex running Red Hat Linux, as well as a Dell laptop running Windows 98) for virtually hours per day, I cannot tell you how much I value returning to my dorm at the end of the day,...
Pros: Speed, easy setup, easy to use, great color! Cons: No built in SCSI, no bundled software.
We bought our G3/350 with DVD over the internet for the basic reasons. It was time to upgrade our old computer and we wanted to save money. We chose the G3/350/DVD because our children use Apples in school and we have found that they are the easiest...
Pros: Speed , Graphic Acceleration , Cons: None found yet
I love my Macintosh. The reason I love it so much is because of its speed. I don't usually have a lot of time to spend on the computer, so I really love to get everything that I want to get done when I get a chance, it's the fastest pc around. I had a...
Pros: Fast, Reliable, Multi-Platform Cons: It doesn't drive my car.
The G3 is the ideal machine for me.There are apparently those who are offended by translucent colors, and feel that they must come to sites like this to slam products they really know nothing about, and don't even use.
Pros: USB connections, speed, and upgradeability. Cons: Only 1 ADB port, no printer port (you must have a USB printer or buy a card to install into your computer.) The new keyboard and mouse should be replaced.
I purchased an Apple Macintosh G3, 450 mhz machine with 256 MB of RAM and a DVD drive early this year. I have never, ever questioned this decision by the performance of the machine, or the accompanying price tag.
It's true, as with transferring...
Pros: Fast, easy, and fun. Cons: Quickly becoming outdated.
Being a dedicated Mac-Man, I just had to jump in when Apple made this sudden bound back into the PC wars. Macintosh's introduction of the G3 processor skyrocketed them from nowhere to the forefront of the "smaller, faster, easier" race. As...
Pros: Easy to use, Easy to work on Cons: Software extensions for peripherals can be flaky
The G3 proves itself as a powerhouse machine when used with processor intense applications such as Adobe Photoshop, or for web surfing. I have used quite a few different Mac models over the years and the G3 has come the closest so far at keeping up with...
Pros: Very affordable and a smooth working computer Cons: Since the making of the G4, it seems like Apple is trying to forget about the G3.
I have a small business and needed to find a computer that would be able to handle the quickly growing list of customers that I have been acquiring. I was using an older model Mac that just couldn't keep up with my expanding client list, scheduling of...
I mean just because its Apple you might get turned off. But ive played some games on here that would lag the fastes pentium. Really really a fast computer.I use this computer alot. Games, chat, talking to my parents, e-mail, everything. This computer...
Pros: Easy to hook up, fun for your children, Better than a PC Cons: Not enough people have them
My parents and I (along with the rest of the world) have this going war as to which brand of computer is more reliable and easier to use. I stand firm in my opinion that The Macintosh G3 is a quality computer, easy to use, super fast, and NEVER breaks...
I love my computer! It is the one I am using right now. A macintosh is definitely the way to go, and I recommend this one. It is full of power. It is quick. And it is easy to use. Everything you look for in a computer and more. Right it was a...
Finally after years of making do with Macs that weren't really up to the tasks I was assigning, I was able to purchase a top-of-the-line machine. There were, of course, some problems with installation - no SCSI, no floppy drive, and whomever at Apple...
Pros: Fast and Expandable Cons: Had Hardware Failure
I've had my B & W for almost two months now, and I have to say the experience has been a mixed bag. The machine is blazingly fast, and this speed has made a huge difference in the way I work. I work professionally in Web development, so I am tough...
Pros: great performance Cons: computer games normaly come out for PC's first
Apple computers are very easy to use and Apple Power Macintosh G3 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: Great Graphics, supports a lot of RAM and HDD Cons: Software availability not yet as common as for a PC
Mac is coming back! I myself have always been a die hard PC user so my PC using friends would probably croak if they knew I was writing this.
I never thought much about Macintosh/Apple computers until I started back to college majoring in...
Pros: Kinda nifty looking Cons: The way it actually works
I admit it--I'm a PC person and I was not very happy that the software I needed to be able to use was only available for a Macintosh. But I bit the bullet and put over $3000 of grant money into a new Macintosh G3 about six months ago. I needed to run...
Pros: Great performance and style. Cons: Might be out of some people's price range. If so, go iMac!
This computer is SUCH a change from my Apple PPC 8500 150 MHZ machine. I have a hard time using my old machine for more than a print server now!
The look of the new Apple machines is great as well. I love the new colors and molded curves. I think...
Pros: Fast, easy to use Cons: Keyboard and mouse could use some improvement
The ultimate machine (at least until the G-4 came along), the G-3 is fast and reliable. I am running the 350 mHz model with DVD and the Apple 17 inch monitor. Virtually all operations run very fast. One of the best tests of speed is the ability of the...
Pros: Friends think I'm James Bond Cons: Lacks traditional connectivity ports
I bought the G3/350 with DVD model and have been quite happy with it so far. It's got that kind of speed that makes everything feel fluid and instant. I have become the bottleneck in my computing processes at long last. If I could type and mouse faster...
All Macs now and forever will be the best computers on the market. This is just another example. This computer is so great. The speed is awesome. As I speak to you at this present time I am working on the famous G3....
Pros: A fast and efficient unit Cons: It comes with a Mac price tag, keyboard too small
I've had my G3 for 8 months now. I got the 400MHz with 256 MB RAM, 12 GB hard drive, a 17" monitor, ZIP and CD-ROM. Although it's "only" 400 MHz, it's faster than any PC I've used when working with graphics. I use a lot of Photoshop,...
Pros: case design, speed, it's apple Cons: keyboard and mouse, needs lots of Ram
The answer to that question really depends on your needs. The G3 packs a lot of power and the only substantial thing that I see missing from the G3s when compared to the G4s is native AirPort support.
I'm going to begin with saying that I am not a technical expert so if your looking for someone to talk about the RAM and Cache, you've probably come to wrong place.
But I am a graphic designer, so I use Macs all the time, and the programs I...
Pros: User friendly, fast and reliable. Cons: Apple/Claris software is expensive and it is probable that UK English versions will not be available in the future.
I recently replaced an Apple Performa 6200 (Mac OS 7.5.5) with an Apple G3/400Mhz 128mb+64mb which has USB, a 12g disc, internal zip drive, an Apple V90 internal modem and Mac OS 8.6. It is impossible to compare the two computers because the G3 is so...
Pros: Looks great, easy to upgrade, fast Cons: terrible customer service
About a year ago I decided it was time to get serious about my graphic design work - everyone in the industry knows you get laughed at if you are not working on an Apple, so I did some exhaustive research and finally chose the new blue/white 300 mhz G3....
Pros: Speed, affordable RAM upgrades, backwards compatible with most of my older software Cons: Not completely compatible with all of my older software, SCSI and serial capabilities cost extra
When I first sat down to a Power Macintosh G3 Tower, I figured, "okay, it's a Macintosh, its a NEW Macintosh, its going to be better." I was wrong. It's a lot better.
I run both Mac and PC platforms, and I have used Win95, Win98,...
Pros: Ease and Comfortable Cons: Lack of Programs available
I have had my G-3 for 3 months now. In that time I have learned more about computers than ever before. I am an Quadra 630 owner so this is not my first MAC. I wouldn't own anything else!! This G-3 is FAST and I mean FAST. It can run a variety of...
Pros: Fast and Efficient Cons: Dosen't include modem or monitor.
When I purchased my Apple Macintosh G3, i wasn't expecting this much above-average performance! I went ahead with the 400mhz G3, with the fastest available being a 450mhz, and slowest being 233mhz. It came loaded with 128 MB Ram, a 9GB hard drive, and...
I purchased the product because I believed it would be the best for a housewife. I like it and i don't. I like it because it is fast and reliable. I don't like it because i have problems with streaming music. I wish it was easier to use with windows.I...
Pros: Very fast, looks good, easy to use Cons: Mouse, keyboard size, no AGP
I purchased this product because the other Mac I used was old. I have always been happy with Apple products. Anyone that needs speed for graphics, video, and/or audio would benefit greatly with this rather than a Pentium or AMD. Also anyone that wants...
Pros: Good, Fast and easy-to-use Cons: transfering files from platforms (i.e. PC to Mac) is not easy
Ok, my first computer was an LC2, I used it for about 5 years and it suited me for that time, but when I started using larger programs such as Myst, i realized i needed a new machine. The G3 is that computer. Now don't think i went directly from LC2 to...
Pros: easy use Cons: alot of game sites not MAC compatable
I have had my G3 for two years. It is easy to operate and there is alot of support online, over the phone or by mail. There are alot of MAC catalogs to order from and you can also order online. Each MAC comes with built in support-----help. Great...
Pros: funky colors,graphics,and speed,more user friendly Cons: more expensive,less software,less tech support
I purchased my G3 in August of 1999, by coincidence it also happened to be
my "first contact" with computers. I'm not sorry for this purchase.The G3
Powermac is an excellent machine for graphics.I have a 400 mhz processor,
and...
About 8 months ago I upgraded my old Performa to a Beige G3, buying a reconditioned one AND a 17" monitor from Apple's Special Deals section of their web site. It came with 32 MB of RAM and a 4 GIG hard drive. The reason I wanted the Beige was...
I bought the Blue and White Apple Macintosh G3 to replace my 604e Power Computing clone. With the upcoming promises of System 9 and X, I wanted to make sure I had the latest in Apple technology. G4s have come out since, but I am completely happy with my...
Pros: A workhorse: the most solid machine you'll ever find Cons: No longer manufactured
I've used a number of computers, many of them Macintosh computers. I still hvae the original 128k Mac. I use a Mac IIci as a mailing list server. I've used a Performa and a 6100 (very first Power PC with a 66 MHz processor that blew us away at the time)....
G3 450mHz 320MBRam ... Kinda pricey. I use a Dell Optiplex GX1 at work, an O.K. machine (PII 366mHz 128MbRam) My Mac at home can handle (w/ VPC 3.0) the same programs faster than the Dell! The lack of a floppy drive seems like a shortcoming but its...
Pros: Ease of use. Cons: Cost.,Smaller selection of Software available.
Most people wonder why it is that Apple Computers is still around and how can it be that they are actually in the Black these days and not bleeding Red all over the place. I know, I was one of the millions of Wintel users that wondered at the staying...
Pros: A lot of bang for your buck Cons: OS 8.6 has a few bugs (typical though)
OK so you thought Apple was washed up. Think again!!
I have owned Macintosh computers since the first Apple IIe hit the market. Some models hit the mark and a few models didn't make the cut. The Apple Power Mac G3 however, is the Mac of my...
I purchased this product in August of 1999. This system was acquired for digital video editing. It has been an excellent system. Fast, stable and stylish. By having built in Firewire it was pretty much ready to go out of the box for DV. I am using Final...
The best computer I have ever worked with. This computer is fast, rapid screen draws. Photoshop did not even slow it down. With Roadrunner access each page was displayed right after I pointed to it. The ultra wide and fast scsi interface was...
Pros: Performance, looks, speed, realibility Cons: Shunned by Windows fanatics
Wow, I love my Mac. It is fantastic. So much faster than the Dinosaur Window thing I use at work. I wonder when my employer is going to wake up and replace all those Dinosaurs with new beautiful, Macs. The machine crashes about 99% less than those...
The Mac G3's (blue and white) are superfast but be prepared for a bumpy ride.
In the last year and a half I've had three macs and two PC's. The first was a solid 9600/233, the second was a G3/233 (gray), and the most current is a G3/400 w/128...
Pros: Case,speed,system software Cons: Lack of SCSI, modem
The G3 has some great features, and some features which were lost in the "think different" speak of Apple marketing. Owning Apples from A Mac512 to a G3 with several stops in between, I could not understand the excluded SCSI port. Also, with...
Pros: cheap, powerful, easy to use Cons: won't run PC programs
I've used computers from the C-64 to Pentium IIs to the Macs, and the Macs have always been easier to use and more powerful for what I wanted to do. The G3 continues Apple's dominance in the consumer market. Out of the box, it was 25 times faster than...
Pros: Well, first and foremost, it's a Mac, which means it is extremely intuitive (user friendly), and allows you to readily move graphics and text from one application to the next. Cons: Some dummies at Apple left out the floppy! And the cutesy blue and white? Yuk, that's a cheap look to me.
Okay, so now I feel better....I've complained about the cheap looking case. That, and the external floppy are my biggest complaints. The speed of the G3 is amazing. I was moving some big graphic files today....4,000 x size files, in seconds. Is speed...
Pros: Blinding speed and reliability Cons: SCSI ability limited.
I've bee a Mac man since I bought my "SE" back in 1988. The new "Blue G3" is awsome. I retired and trade stocks online (Not A Daytrader) and since most Real-Time quotes are only offered in the Windows 95/98 (DOS Shell) operating...
Pros: Looks Cons: Poor Quality hardware for a high price!!
Yes, I may be a pc fan but this is rediculous. Apple's G3 isn't good for someone who is upgrading from a pc or just plain upgrading. Or think about trying to use the new OS. I use a G3 in my school's MAC lab. It freezes at every chance it gets. And in...
Pros: Power, user-friendly, PC crushing performance Cons: You have to look hard to find the Mac software rack at the electronics store, high price
I used to call them "Mac zealots." The people who blindly clung to their Macintosh computers in the face of PC domination, and would sooner open a vein than use a Microsoft product.
Then came the G3. I bought the 300 MHz processor,...
Pros: Fast, easy, Best for Graphics, smooth Cons: Expensive, few applications
I have had a 350 mhz G3 on my desk at work for a year now and I still look at this machine and say "wow." I am a graphic designer and this machine is the one any pro designer would love to have on a daily basis... I use photoshop and after effects for...
Pros: Fast, affordable, tons of room for storage. Cons: Comes with MS IE and Outlook Express, had to download Netscape and Eudora, *laugh*
Just set up my new Mac G4 (350 Mhz version) today, now going from a 33 mHz Mac Performa 640(4 years old). We're talkin' serious speed difference, same 28.8 connection as my ISP has yet to add 56k lines(which sucks). The processing speed is outstanding....
Pros: Fast and strong Cons: co-ons? Your words are foreign to me
The first thing you will recognize about the Power Macintosh G3 is the speed of startup. When you continue to explore the OS environment, the second thing you will notice is the sheer volume of RAM. This baby is pumped with 64MB minimum...
Pros: Great all around computer-solid system Cons: Have to get use to apple operating system
I have always considered myself to be a windows friendly kind of guy. While everyone one else was quick to find its faults and would look to the (few) positives. After all, our first computer was an Apple back in the days of an IBM-compatible...
Pros: Fast, stylish, great bang for the buck Cons: If too many windows are open at one time on the internet, sometimes it will freeze
The G3 is a super fast and affordable computer for anyone! Its simplicity and style, not to mention sheer power, make it a winner on the market. Mine is paired up with a matching Epson Stylus printer and an Apple Studio Display 17 and it is just too cool...
Pros: Fast, Reliable, Ease of use, Easy Access to Expansion bays and slots Cons: NO SCSI, No Serial, No Floppy
Any Mac lover can appreciate the speed that came with this line of machines from Apple. At 300Mhz to 450Mhz there are a variety to choose from when it comes to system configurations and Customizing the computer to fit your price range. The system comes...
Pros: Fast, lots, of memory, will run many programs Cons: No disk drive
This computer is a computer I would recommened to almost anyone. Even if you aren't a Mac user you could learn no love this computer. Fast, lots of memory, and easy to use. It has a Zip drive and A CD ROM Drive, but alas, No disk drive which is really...
My old computer died after 5 years of dependable performance, so I needed a new one fast. I went to the Apple on-line store and picked exactly the features that I wanted on my G3. The ordering process was simple and fast. It took about a week to be...
I am, scratch that, was a proud owner of a Macintosh G3. Of course I do think Macintoshes are easier to use, and possibly better, I would rather have a PC because it seems that PCs are taking over the world. What I got inside was great. Plenty of...
Pros: It's simple and powerful, what more do you need? Cons: Still limited software for mac's
I recently got me new G3 simply to act as a server for the other mac's in my home, it quickly became much more. I instantly fell in love with it as soon as I took it out of it's box, my first instint was to plug it straight in, but I forced myself to...
Pros: New design, fast bus speed, extremely easy upgrades Cons: not enough Hard drive space, no disk drive
The first computer that I had was an Apple Macintosh SE. The Second computer I had was a Macintosh 7500/100. And now I have upgraded to the Blue and Ice G3 Model. This isn't your regular computer. Not only are the outside appearances different, but...
Pros: Very good with graphic programs ! Cons: There are many video game titles for this machine ( that's where PCs lead )
The Apple G3 is an amazing machine, unfortunately not enough people who are not professionals know about it. During highschool I never wanted to mess with any apple computers, but then I went to college and I met the G3 ! This machine is great and I...
Pros: Totally upgradeable and Fast Cons: Waited too long to buy one
I upgraded my older Macintosh with a new PowerMac B&W G3. I was looking for the right Macintosh to upgrade so I found a great deal on a B&W G3 400Mhz. I got it, hooked it up, and I had the biggest smile on my face. It is awesome. I recommend...
Pros: Looks nice, works fast, good for people who like to be creative. Cons: Overpriced, monitor is expensive, a few bugs, not meant for business
I find that the the G3 has many advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The G3 is fast, affordable, and nice to look at too. When I got mine, it was great except there were a few bugs we had to work with, and...
Pros: Flawless speed, beautiful video, Cons: USB for data transfer is SLOW
Okay, I started working here about 7 months ago and the machine I got to work with was almost an antique. An old PMac 7100. It reminded me of working with Commodore 64's in grade school. Anyway, I convinced by boss to purchase a new B&W G3 for me....
I depend on my Macs so much, it's less than coincidental that I name their hard drives after great literary heroines: First was "Phoebe," next was "The Rachel," and now my third Mac is "Madame Psychosis." Again and again,...
Pros: Ease of operation, quality of design Cons: Nothing is compatible!
I have been a firm lover of Mac's for years. But ever try buying software for them? Let's face it, this is an IBM - compatible world and the Mac owners are getting the short end of the stick. I think it is time for the Mac to conform to IBM-PC...
We recently purchased two new G3's at work. I am in charge of the "Technoweenie Team" and ordered these. Lo and behold, when they arrived, there was no floppy drive. Being as a lot of our software is on floppies, we were disappointed that we...
Pros: good machine, good looking Cons: horrible keyboard and mouse
When the first batch of macs came out, they included a tiny li'l screen and a truly horrible keyboard. No question they represented a great advance in computing paradigms, but lord almighty, the keyboard was bad!
Pros: Only way to go for music and graphics Cons: none
If you are thinking about writing music using a computer,do yourself a favor and go the Macintosh way.It is dependable,easy, icon based,and things are always where you expect to find them.
Earlier in my career I first started writing music with a...
Pros: Fast. Way Fast. Cons: Industrial design makes it hard to stack peripherals.
Toss all your floppy disks. That's step one when you step up to a new 'Yosemite' Powermac. Many of the familiar components of a typical Apple system have gone the way of PowerTalk, OpenDoc and other late, lamented Apple technologies. So there's no more...
Pros: Pretty, fast, cool Cons: Questions about upgradability?
The bondi and white G3 is an incredibly fast machine, even at only 300 MHz. The bus speed seems to make all of the difference, as the G3 upgrade I have at work is much slower on Photoshop filters and such. The case, which is never represented well in...
Before the new blue and white G3s were off the assembly line, I ordered one. If you admire the iMac but need more power and the option of a big monitor, the G3 is for you. For the first time in a while, the Macintosh prices looked really...
My experience with a G3 has been good and bad. It's a great machine to begin with. Lots of power...lots of options. But, on the other hand, I recently had to replace the hard drive. It had a bad spot which was making the machine crash. The service people...
Pros: Fast, easily expandable, very current technology. Cons: Original keyboard and mouse. Didn't ship with internal modem.
I bought this 400mhz G3 w/DVD to replace my 8100/100AV. I had over $7,500 tied up in the CPU, scanner etc. but it gave me 5 years of flawless service and I got $500 back out of it. Anyway, after upgrading every component, I have about $2,500 in my...
Pros: Ease of use, great online support Cons: None that I can find.
I have been a MacAddict since I started with an SE back in 1991. I particularly love its ease of use; not a lot of language, file names, forward slashes, back slashes etc to get to where I want to go. Sherlock is a great new feature that makes your...
Pros: very usable, very fast Cons: no written documentation
The 400mhz G-3 is easy to set up and connect to peripherals. It is easily upgradeable and expandable. A child could almost put the memory expansion and pci cards in their proper slots.
The CPU fan is surprisingly quiet and efficient, and the...
I work with a G3/400 with 512 meg of ram (graphics intensive job) and I'd have to say, it's a fine computer. Photoshop runs smoothly and quickly, Illustrator is good, though it's not noticeably faster than the 8600 I was using prior to this. The best...
Pros: powerful and fast hardware Cons: not a lot of software available
When I generally buy a computer I know that no matter what I buy my machine will be obsolete by the time it gets to my house. So when I buy a computer I always would like to have the feeling that I know what I'm buying will last me for a couple of years....
Pros: It won't break the first day i get it, probably second Cons: Everything
This computer sucks! As a matter of fact, all MAC's suck! They are slower than IBM's and Alienware's. Also they are totally ugly and their monitors are small. Especially if you are a gamer, this computer is definitely not for you. Not all games are...
Pros: none Cons: no floppy, no printer port, crashes frequently
I bought a G3 in the beige case for work and was pleased with it. I then purchased a G3 for my wife to use at home. Same model, completely different machine. NO floppy drive, a bad joke for a mouse, no drivers for our HP scanners, needed an ethernet...
This computer is truly great. I purchased it at the campus computer store and proceeded to install many items. I put in a TV card, an extra 64 and 128 MB totally 256 MB of RAM. I use the computer primarily for building and laying out web pages. And for...
Hey! another bad apple? well....you guessed it! yup, another one! another apple that doesnt run anything, tryes to look cool, and tries to find some big commercial "hook" so you will buy it. And will you buy this one? Well, no. Atleast the...
Pros: fast, nice interface Cons: slow after alot of files
I have had much experience with this computer. I got it a little bit after it came out. I use it mostly for a webpage that I currently work on and it has only been good to me. The only problem with the Mac G3 is that once you start building up and...
Pros: Excellent machine at a good price. Cons: software makers haven't completely caught up yet.
Anyone in the market for a computer should really give the Mac a try. It is very versatile and is a good choice for not only experienced users, but new users as well. The ease in use is wonderful and the plug and play abilities are great! Most of the...
The new power mac g3 rocks! i got one (g3/300) as soon as they came out and it's blazingly fast. the case is cool too. i love how the "G3" shows through the translucent side panel. the handles are cool too. apple has definately melded form...
Pros: Fast Computer Cons: Gets out of date really fast
The G3 is easier than Windows 2000. The G3 can go right to a program or a document by typing the name on the keyboard. Don't you think its true that Windows folders and the folder pictures look the same on the Macs? The Mac is a computer and not a...
Pros: Fast Video Card Cons: No floppy and ugly box
FUN! FAST! FREE! (well, not free, but kinda cheap for what you get).
Our purchasing-powers-that-be at work surprised me and another co-worker each with a brand spanking new G3, just like the one in the picture. I have an "old" G3 233...
I admit it; I'm a confirmed Mac junkie. I love never worrying about having to fix any oddness in the operating system. I've tried windows, and was always terrified I'd hit the wrong key and POOF! instant computer implosion. With Apple products the worry...
Pros: Fun to play with, but I am looking for a lower price for my toy. Cons: Overpriced for what you get. I am looking for a lower price.
Eureka, I have found a place where I can buy all my computer products and accessories at liquidation prices. First of all they offer FREE Stuff and the offers change every week. You can sign up to get their computer publications sent to your home or...
Pros: Fast ok 3dcard Firewire Cons: lack of Scsi slow hard drive
I saved up for months to get this machine [g3 400 6 gig dvd] At first it was a great machine however after a while i started to notive some problems. The hard drive wasn't that big but my problem was that it wasn't very high quality. I lost most of my...
Pros: Chassis, Overclocking ability, Stability Cons: Not enough RAM in low configuration
I bought my G3/300 when it was first priced at $1599. I changed the jumper settings and now I run it at 400 Mhz. The easy access to the guts is also very nice. Need to add memory, it takes 5 seconds. Some may think the chassis is a little odd, but it...
