Apple Power Mac G4 Reveiw

Advantages: Cheap, Runs OS X, Looks nice
Disadvantages: Noisy, Not That Fast

...Apple are the best makers of computers and OS but if like me you dont have much money then the G4 is probably the one to go for, as it has all the greatness of apple mac at a much lower price. I got my G4 off of ebay for a very reasonable price about 5-6 months ago and it was a great change from my old dell PC which was painfuly slow and overloaded. External Issues: The G4 Quicksilver is a very sexy and nice looking tower computer although some people dont like the sliver effect i think it makes it look sleek and proffesional, also some people dont like the fact that it is finished in plastic but i think this mackes it look nice and shiny. The clear handles are another nice effect as they distort any thing on the other side of them. One of the bad things about the G4 is that it is by no means silent and if you keep the original...

PowerMac G4, Great Value For Money

Advantages: CHEAP, good quality, OSX machine
Disadvantages: Loud-ish Hard drive, incompatibility issues, bad onboard speakers

.... The boot time is a little over 18 seconds and fully logged on is just over 35 seconds; far speedier than any other computer I have used. Speed: 7/20 Operating System: Apple really did ace the operating system at Tiger level, 10.4 is the maximum operating system you can run on a G4 and is reasonably new, giving the modern looks of OSX Leopard but with less RAM usage, The software is a bit of a problem to get but programs like Photoshop and Illustrator run blazingly fast thanks to the Velocity engine. OS: 9/10 Design: I personally dislike the design of the G4, its by far not the worst looking computer in the world but it does feel very plastic, saying that the build quality is spectacular, the handles are a good feature aswell as looking good and the side door is extremely helpful for cleaning the inside and quickly changing parts. Design...

Apple iBook G4

Advantages: attractive and stylish looks, perfect for travelling
Disadvantages: you gotta take good care of it !

...If you are someone who likes to have qualities like Power,durable, portable, easily affordable and attractive looking, then i think the 14 1.33 GHz iBook laptop would be a very good choice in that case ! This notebook along with its awesome looks, comes in handy anywhere and everywhere. I have been using it since a while now and i have never had any problems with it so far and im pleased! they say that the material used in the plastic which the case is made of, is the same as thy use in making bullet proof glass. amazing isnt it? hehe! I think it suits everyone, let it be businesspeople, people related to video editing, professors or professionals like you and me.

Apple PowerBook G4 - All looks and no muscle?

Advantages: OSX is slick, Gorgeous looks, Great Bundled Apps!
Disadvantages: Extremely Expensive, Gets Very Hot!

...On the face of it, the PB G4 is awesome. I mean that in the least "college-kid" sense. It literally inspires awe! The aluminium casing is sheek and smooth. The whole unit is a masterpiece of design. The screen is beautifully bright and the keyboard illluminates with finesse and style. Hang on, isn't it a computer? This is my point. The PowerBook looks so good, it almost diguises the fact it isn't really a very good computer. I have owned mine now for nearly a year, since November 2005. Due to the nature of what I do, a mac is necessary and I was slightly pleased to actually be getting one. Although I'd saved long and hard, I thought it a worthwhile investment to put nearly £2000 on the table. However, I haven't had value for money. There is no denying the PowerBook is a lovely looking machine. It is beautiful. But inside it...

Review of Apple PowerBook G4

Apple G4 Cube

Advantages: Style, Compactness, Quiet and a very fast system.
Disadvantages: Origionals have a low end video card

...I have lived with this computer now for about 5 months. It has a G4 450 Mhz processor with 192 MB of memory (Not Standard), DVD, USb & Firewire. The cost of the computer was a bit on the steep side at around £1200, but I figured that it was worth it and I wasn't wrong. The design of the computer is revolutionary, being almost an 8" cube. There is no fan fitted to the inside of the machine and cooling is achieved by a central cooling tower and working on the principle of hot air rising drawing cooler air into the central cooling tower. All of the compnoents are packed around this area for optimum cooling. The power is supplied by an external and quite large power adaptor, but makes sense to keep this out of the computer, saving on weight, size and heat build up. The disk drive 20GB is whisper quiet and the system as a whole makes...

Review of Apple Power Mac G4 Cube

APPLE iBOOK G4 ,A wonderful laptop

Advantages: Portability, slimness, attractive color, speed, & virus free
Disadvantages: Needs Special programs

...This is a review of the iBook G4 APPLE computer. --------------------------- AVAILABILITY: APPLES ARE HARD TO FIND SOMETIMES, so look for you G4 at ebay for used Apples, and at Circuit City and at the APPLE stores. For exact locations check online. You can use a search engine called 37.com or dogpile to find the best locations that are nearest to you. -------------------- PRICE: Prices will vary; of course you'll get the cheapest prices on ebay, mabye, but you'll get the best service for you money at Circuit City or at APPLE stores or when you buy your G4 brand new. I believe you can get a G4 for approximately 1400 to 1800 US dollars depending on where you purchase it. --------------------- STYLE AND COLOR: The g4 as with all APPLES are the best when it comes to design and color. This company...

Review of Apple iBook G4

Apple iBook G4 - PPC G4 1.2 GHz - 12.1" TFT

Advantages: good look
Disadvantages: less speed

...The System: 933Mhz G4 processor - good enough for everyday use. 384Mb is my recommended minimum memory. 9200 ATI radeon GPU -not bad for office tasks. Connectivity: Optional WLAN integrated card - very good range, lower performance than some cards with throughput. 10/100 - present and accounted for, but limited by HD for sustained transfers. Firewire and USB: for plugging in fast peripherals. Everything you need there. Although networking suffers from glitches sometimes, it does allow for full samba (printer and file sharing) that is used by default in Windows. FTP, SSH, all work -although the FTP client is not reliable with some servers (especially GuildFTP). Primary domain authentication however is not included -although few people need that capability. Performance: As I have never properly tested Macs before, my results at this...

APPLE iBOOK G4 800mhz

Advantages: attractive, quiet, simple, value for money
Disadvantages: general compatibility

...Compare the Apple iBook to its equivalent Windows-based competitor and you will notice the same things I did. The iBook offers better value for money - why? - because to buy a Windows laptop of its weight, processing power, size and style will cost you at least 1 and a half times more (compare it to an equivalently sized Sony Vaio for example). It is without doubt a brilliantly engineered unit. Extremely quiet, decent battery (4-5hrs with word-processing), well laid out and comfortable full size keyboard, good quality 12.1" screen, usb (x2), firewire, ethernet port, modem port, headphone socket, built in slot loading DVD/CD-RW drive. Everything has been thoughtfully created right from the Apple logo that lights up on the back when its turned on to the little legs that extend from the power pack so it can stand up and cool more...

Review of Apple iBook G4

Apple PowerBook G4 12.1" TFT

Advantages: very functional and portable, fantastically made and stylish
Disadvantages: gets hot with long intensive sessions of work

...I have had my 12 inch powerbook G4 for about 5 months now and it is FANTASTIC. it is very attractive looking and is the best made laptop ive ever owned. It is very small and very portable, it is flawlessly engineered with a silver aluminum body and as such is very robust and very light. i bought off ebay and it came with the latest version of the mac operating system, and an upgraded 1.3 GhZ processor. It is very fast and does everything i want it to do. the screen is fantastic and crystal clear, great for watching dvd's and films on aswell as working and surfing the web. The built in speakers are very good and clear, The volume controls run along with the function keys at the top as well as volume control and the F8,9,10,11 and 12 are programmable to help speed up work and switch between windows. It comes with a standard single click...

Review of Apple PowerBook G4 12.1" TFT

Apple IPhone

Advantages: read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

..., which my dad had and the LG Prada phone my cousin had. Their was nothing complexed about the design or shape, I hate the new phones which really are just too big and funny looking; Apple kept it simple and clear. The phone's screen size is about 3.5 inches in diagonal length and the phone itself was 115×61×11.6 mm in length and only weighted around 135g. The weight of the phone was very appealing to me too, it wasn't too big, and it could fit into your pocket and not weigh you down. Battery Life To be honest I heard some good reviews about the battery life for this phone, initially the phone had a standard battery life of 250 hours, of which 8 hours were talk time, 6 for internet use, and 7 for video use and 24 hours for audio use. I though great, it's not everyday you see a phone that can play music for over 24 hours...
