Pros: Fast, Fast, Fast!!!

My G4/400 Sawtooth is the latest G4's to be released by Apple. I'm a teacher and use my computer for music, video, databases, web publishing, serving web pages and doing flyers/posters. This machine rocks!

I took it out of the box, plugged...

Pros: Fast speed, easy to use, easy to hook up
Cons: none that i know of yet

My wife and I recently pruchased this computer. My son was the one that suggested I buy this computer. I am not a genious on the computer, but I find this computer very easy to use. So if you are looking for a computer to use and do not know what to...

Pros: Fast machine and ease of use
Cons: ????

I use Macs and PC's so this will be a fair review.

First this machine right now is best used by people who use high end graphic and scientific types of software that make use of the 2 processors. For those types of people this is fast. The...

Pros: Its a Mac! Ease of use and crossplatform capatibility.
Cons: G4's are stuck to OS9.

I have been using my G4 with 350mg RAM for about a year and have FINALLY worked out all the little idiosincracies with the OS9 platform. You need to update the system immediately and get the latest version of the DVD and CD drivers. Upgrade to as much...

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...

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: 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: 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: The mouse is fantastic ...
Cons: but the keyboard is still cheesy.

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....

Pros: Ease of setup/use. Sleek and refined Interface.
Cons: There aren't any at work!

When I bought my PowerMac G4 (450 - 384 MB of RAM), I was prepared to tackle some serious DV editing. What I wasn't prepared for was the immediate ease of use. Coming from a total PC background, I had expected the learning curve to resemble Everest! To...

Pros: fast, reliable, stylish, runs MacOS
Cons: no free drive bays, puck mouse, small keyboard

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...

Pros: Great speed and ease of use, upgradability, and price performance ratio.
Cons: Apple tech support is only average. No sound in port or option for dvd/cd-rw

I have wanted to purchase a new computer for the last eight months and finally took the plunge. I have made the transition from an iMac revision b, 466mhz 160mb ram, to a new Power Mac Dual G4 533mhz with an ATi Radeon graphics card. The G4 feels much...

Pros: Great Multimedia, Fast. Great Graphic Output. Great Design, Easy to Use
Cons: High priced. Apple Remote Access is horrid on these machines.

The Apple Power Macintosh G4 producing high quality multimedia and gaming performance. The G4 is a extreme highly powerful Macintosh, by far one the fastest and most reliable systems I’ve seen and tested yet. My brother owns this beast and recently...

Pros: Fast, Very Fast, Oh So Fast
Cons: Fingerprints all over it from PC users touching it

Simply the best, better than all the rest... I don't usually quote songs but this is a good product. I'm a Graphic Designer and use the G4 for work. It's wonderful computer. I used PC's for years and love the G4, at home I have a G3 Blue and White and am...

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...
