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... Read review

Disadvantages: Short battery life, paint sometimes comes off, runs hot after being on for awhile

...The powerbook line has been around for almost a decade now and each new installment has brought around something better than the last. This new G4 is no different. With a faster processor, more memory, and better graphics, the Powerbook G4 is the new fad in college age kids as well as executives. Lets take a look at the Powerbook G4 under the hood. The Powerbook G4 (PBG4) has great specifications, including: -1.25 ghz G4 processor. This is a top of the line Apple processor, comparable to a 3 ghz P4 or higher. This gives the computer enough speed to do anything from checking your email to making a short film on your computer with no hassles or waiting around. Everything is done in the blink of an eye. -512 mb DDR SDRAM. This RAM directly assists your processor in opening and storing data. This RAM is considered to be one... Read review

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... Read review

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...

Advantages: Easy Listening and Familar Songs
Disadvantages: G can't think of any

...I bought this album just before Christmas and I am so glad I did. My partner actual got it for me and had to choose between this one and their previous album. He also advised me that he had bought the one with the two diva's. I wondered who these two diva's could be. It took me quite a while to realise that he actually meant il divo.... Anyway, G4 came to our attention through the XFactor. They reached the final and it was a case of G4 v's Steve. They definatly had my vote. They are a group of four classical trainined singers. The great thing about them is to look at them they all look like four ordinary blokes. Nothing too special. The magic happens when they open their mouths to sing. G4 & friends is the second album and because I have not heard their first I have nothing to compare it with but will almost certainly buy the first... Read review

Advantages: User Friendly, less virus attacks!
Disadvantages: Expensive, no floppy

...I bought a G4 400MHZ (PCI Graphics) with 128MB RAM and a 10GB HD with CD-ROM and an Apple 17" CRT Monitor (the one on tripod feet) over a year ago off E-bay. I love it so much I called him Albert! I spent 10 years working on computers, starting on a Wang(!), and then progressing to pc 486's, etc. I finally saw the light when I went into Publishing, and used my first Apple Mac, a 6100/66. I've never turned back. Not only are the G4s stylish to look at, they're practical too! I have never opened up a computer before, but I wanted to add an extra 256 of RAM - the process went so smoothly I almost didn't realise it was done! You just pop open the side of the G4 slot in the memory and voila, it's done. No screws, no nothing! I also set up my first 'network', hooking up the new G4 to my old 6100 was a doddle using a transceiver and 1... Read review

Advantages: Great Looking Machine, WICKED G4 Proccessor
Disadvantages: A Bit Too Pricey

...As with every Apple Mac on the planet, the G4 Cube looks 'the dogs dangly bits'. In other words- It looks BEAUTIFUL. You cannot beat the Cube when it comes to beauty, because it simply p*sses all over its opponents. It's compact, sexy and is still kitted with a satisfactory PowerPC G4 proccessor which is more than fast enough for every day tasks such as e-mail, web browsing and playing the latest computer games. Although the Cube has been out for some time now, you can upgrade basically everything in the Cube... Like the graphics card, the memory, the hard drive, etc. SO you can go from the normal 400 mHz G4 that you get as standard, to a gob smacking 1.25 gHz... Which is much, much, much, much more than the average computer-user needs. Overall, the Cube is great. I love it, and I think future users of the wonder-machine will too... Read review

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.

Advantages: Beautiful Design, Functional, Different, Fast, Creative
Disadvantages: Not as fast as others, Out Dated, Not as Much Space for Upgrading

...The iMac G4 was the first real breakthrough in aestheticly pleasing design for computers. Before the iMac, we had grey boxes humming away in the corner, hidden in computer cabinets and kept out of sight. This wonderful, outrageously attractive system would be placed on your sitting room table if you had the choice - it is simply a timeless, chic, creative collectable! As I have mentioned in many of my reviews, I study Interactive Media Design. We do a lot of work using Apple Mac hardware. We have two studios fully stocked with iMacs, eMacs, Power Books, Power PC's G5's - you name it we've got it! The studio we primarily work in is stocked with 20 or so of these reliable babies which are great fun to use and totally useful at the same time. Its ideal for creative users, Apple software is designed with creative people in mind... Read review

Advantages: VERY FAST!
Disadvantages: No floppy drive, DVD playback issues

...I have recently purchased a new Apple Macintosh G4/400, using the new Sawtooth motherboard configuration. I previously owned an old PowerMac and am VERY impressed with the new machine. It comes complete with a pretty high specification for the money (10gb/64mb/400mhz). Many PC userd will be wondering how a 400mhz processor can be anywhere near as fast as a Pentium with 900mhz+ of processing power?? Well, the Macintosh uses a completely different system, a PowerPC processor and tests can prove that these are much faster. It is fairly safe to say that Macintosh produce the fastest 'home user' computers available today. One gripe I do have is the exclusion of a floppy disk drive. I know that these will soon not be in use and they are low capacity e.t.c BUT PEOPLE STILL USE THEM! I often need to transfer work between computers and am now... Read review
