Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)A powerful machine worth the price
I just received this computer today. Within minutes, I had it set up and running and surfing the web. Thus far, it is definetly a very quiet computer. Its got a lot of power to it and comes loaded with OS X with all the great multimedia apps like iTunes, iDVD, etc. They have all opened and worked quickly and flawlessly. Overall, I would have to say it is very very fast. The computer has also never frozen, slowed up, or had any problem completing the tasks i've given it thus far and shows no signs of doing so in the future. I highly recommend getting Apple Pro speakers with it, as they enhance the sound quality drastically (the sound quality of that singal built in speaker just will not due for me, the only con i have found so far). This is a great machine that I will be using every day and I believe that it is worth every penny spent on it. Apple has done it again!
(5 out of 5)why even read a review? i can only rave about my G4!!
after owning a powerbook for three years, and using many iMacs at work the G4 has been a revellation for speed and reliability. it never crashes and has only frozen on me a handful of times over the year. i can multi-task like crazy, opening 700 MB of images in photoshop and doing other projects while i wait for them to open. the time saved in allowing me to complete many tasks at once is incredible. i am no longer impatient when working, because of the numerous tasks the G4 can perform at once.
the G4 is also very flexible, since i bought mine a little over one year ago i have added a VGA card (in order to have an 'extended desktop') and a second hardrive.
it's an awesome tool!!
