by daviddennis , Fri Aug 11 21:55:37 EDT 2000
Pros: The mouse is fantastic ...
Cons: but the keyboard is still cheesy.
Review: This is not a complete review of the G4, but I thought my impression of the new Mac keyboard and mouse might be of interest.
I was in Fry's today (August 11th, 2000), and the first of the new iMacs and multi-processor G4s are in at long last... read full review | | | | | Author's rating: |  | | Ease of Use: | | | Quality of Tech Support: | |

Pros: fast, great graphics, lots of memory and space, great tech support
Cons: connecting old equipment hassles, little software, no printed manuals
Review: After reading all the glowing opinions here about the G4's, I decided to take the plunge and buy one. Since I already had a Mac, I figured I could use my old monitor and printer and save a little money that way, justifying the higher cost of buying the... read full review

Pros: big memory, lots of space, kickin graphics, and a sexy machine.
Cons: only 3 PCI slots, needs external speakers
Review: Apple’s resurgence was not only one of a series of powerful processors, but one of design. Beige was out, Blue was in. And now it’s graphite.

Pros: Fast, sexy, efficient
Cons: Poor graphics acceleration, slow in terms of MHz
Review: First things first- I would ask that all readers keep in mind that I am trying to take an objective point of view- I am an Apple loyalist, but I also feel that Apple could be doing some things much better than they currently are.

Zippy and Nice Looking, Too!

Pros: fast, reliable, stylish, runs MacOS
Cons: no free drive bays, puck mouse, small keyboard
Review: I am a graphic designer. I am a Mac freak. Therefore, I had to have a G4.
Before I begin, I need to add a note about my system. My Mac falls neither into the Multimedia or the Professional category; it is somewhere in between. I purchased it... read full review | | | |
