Product Description

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II, and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple remains committed to creating the best personal computers in the world, and its hardware and software products are widely regarded as being the most innovative in the industry.Newly designed from the inside out, with an ultrafast Xserve-based architecture, the dual processor Power Mac G4 delivers unprecedented performance. For your next creative leap, scientific breakthrough, or production challenge, expand the boundaries of possibility with the new Power Mac G4 - twin-engine supercomputer.

Amazon.com Product Description

The latest dual 1 GHz Power Mac G4 improves system bandwidth with engineering enhancements that include a 167 MHz system bus, and features a new-generation graphics processor, a DVD- and CD-burning SuperDrive, and the new Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar preloaded.

The dual 1 GHz processors put this fast Power Mac G4 squarely ahead of PCs for high-end graphics workstation use, running professional applications like Adobe Photoshop up to 69 percent faster than a 2.53 GHz Pentium 4-based PC. And it's not all about processor speed--new memory cache technology and other engineering improvements inspired by Apple's new Xserve server architecture boost the speed of throughput between main memory and the system controller.

Graphics performance is excellent, with ATI's hot new Radeon 9000 Pro graphics processor and Mac OS X Jaguar's new Quartz Extreme--a breakthrough combination of software and hardware that accelerates the compositing of 2- and 3-D images using your graphics card instead of the main processor. This gives the Power Mac G4 an order-of-magnitude advance in graphics capabilities--including color, lighting, modeling, transformations, texture mapping, motion blur, and more. In addition, the Power Mac lets you spread your work across two monitors for a larger workspace.

This Power Mac comes with a fast 80 GB Ultra-ATA hard disk drive and three additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive expansion bays--with support for a total of up to four internal hard drives, for up to 480 GB of possible storage.

Since the SuperDrive-equipped Power Mac comes with iDVD 2, you can burn data CDs and DVDs--with point-and-click ease--to archive your work minutes after you take your new system out of its box. It also accommodates a second optical drive in addition to the SuperDrive, so you can even watch a DVD movie while your work is burning to disc, or archive material at the same time.

You also get the benefit of built-in Gigabit Ethernet for shooting large files across your network at previously unheard-of speeds, the 108-key Apple Pro keyboard, a 56K modem, four USB ports and two high-speed FireWire ports for connecting all kinds of peripherals, and an AirPort card slot. Four PCI expansion slots are also integrated directly into the main system controller, speeding expansion cards' throughput.

Fast. but really noisy.......2003-10-05

I've been a Mac fan since the PB 180, but had gone PC for a while. I came back to the Mac with this DP G4 and love it. It's fast and has all of the goodies. We made a DVD of my son's first year with iMovie and made a DVD our families love. You can't do that on a PC without a lof of expensive software and hardware. My only issue is the noise.

You might want to check this first :.......2003-01-13

My advice : Listen to a G4 first when you consider buying one; as it seems, not all of them are equally noisy.

Other than that, the new G4 series is great; real workhorses and OS X also is fantastic.

Very Well Done.......2002-11-22

I'm also a Mac and PC user and also agree with the reviews below. The noise issue is the only reason I took off a star. Earlier models had a bad board that made the CPU fan run faster than it needed. In case you didn't know, the CPU fan changes speed to suit the cooling needs of the CPUs (a very nice Apple-ish touch). My CPU fan is very quite 98% of the time. The loudest noise comes from the power supply fans. There are replacement after-market fans available, but I don't think I'm going to need it. Yep - it's louder than my old G3, but not as loud as the new high-end Dells we have at work.

The box comes wired and ready for 4 hard drives and two optical drives. There were even some hard drive mounting screws in redundant holes just waiting for me to add my 120 gig WD. RAM is easy to add as well - buy a gig. I use 18004memory.com.

Comes with all the software you need. Made a DVD the same day I opened the box. Moving to OS X was a great opportunity for me to upgrade my other hardware and cut the cord on a lot of pre-1997 junk I had been clinging to. Dive into Aqua with both feet, the water's fine!

Transition time for OS, but great machine.......2002-09-27

I agree with everything "Anothermonkey" said in his review, but thought I should add a few notes.

First, it seems most reviewers on this board are either die-hard Mac fans or their equivalently unbalanced detractors on the anti-Mac front. I use both platforms, and find each to have its points.

Overall, this is a fantastic machine. The design is elegant from inside to outside, with every detail having been painstakingly thought through. It's as elegant as a computer could be, both in terms of hardware and software and their integration. It is also enormously powerful, although the fan inside could probably reach take-off velocity if given enough space. With the side panel closed and safely tucked under my desk, the noise is bearable, but don't try talking on the phone while powering up with the side opened -- you won't be able to hear a thing over the fan noise.

OS 10 is a stable, beautiful, and superfast system, integrated well with these new machines. However, shy of the main software on the design front, there are lots of things you might want to use (or already currently are) that are not OS 10 compatible. In the short term, be prepared for some pain as you figure out how to navigate through what you can and cannot use with OS 10 (including basic peripherals). Hopefully by early next year, this will have improved.

Also, this system is especially well-designed for international users. OS 10 can boot up in 20 languages, and the computer can be plugged in to nearly any voltage around the world. With several languages used at home, anyone can boot up in their desired language, and all (this really amazes me) the apple software that comes with the machine changes languages accordingly. Simple, clean, and elegant.

My old Powermac 7500 lasted nearly 8 years thanks to its advanced design and easy upgradability (it still beats my new PC at work). These new 1 GHz+ models seem destined for the same -- a great investment. If you're looking for a cheap machine to handle emailing and surfing, or if you need a wide variety of games etc., stick to the PC platform. But if you appreciate design and detail, you want serious power and a great machine that will hold its own in your office for many years, then seriously consider a new Powermac.

Pretty Decent Camera.......2006-10-09

Good Camera for family photos. The digital zoom is pretty bad though. If you are planning on using the zoom in your photos, get an optical zoom so that you can keep the resolution. Also, dark photos somtimes do not turn out very well. But, overall, for the price it was a decent buy.

Great little camera, with limits.......2006-09-10

This camera was my entry into the world of digital photography. I love it! And the 5 mp resolution is great for blowing up or for cropping what you need to.

There are a few things I'll do differently next time, though.

First, I got a camera without a microphone, because I assumed the video would be such a low-quality that we wouldn't use it. I was wrong, though. We have some terrific silent movies. :)

Second, I didn't think I'd need optical zoom, but that's because I hadn't thought about taking landscape and outdoor pictures. Next time, I'll get optical zoom.

Overall, this has been a wonderful entry-level camera. I'm so glad I bought it.

GOOD PICTURES.......2006-06-16

My afterschool teacher has one of these and she has affirmed me that it takes good pictures. I saw tem too. THe zoom really works. For this price, it is ver good.

Weak, light color.......2007-01-14

It's cheap and the cheapness shows. I was quite disapoointed with the quality of the ink. Will not buy it again.

Total..........2002-09-19

Of all the products I have ever bought for my computer this is the ABSOLUTE WORST. I bought my Epson 880 printer less than a year ago, and it had worked perfectly until the day that I made the great mistake of placing a cartridge of that [STUFF] into it. Two weeks later the colours that I printed began to change, the red would not come out, and today I got the diagnose from the Epson Service Center that the heads of my printer are damaged beyond repair. Don't ever buy that Rhinotek ink.

Stick to Epson products.......2002-08-09

Maybe it's just me but whenever I've tried non-Epson inks they've been terrible. Rhinotek tended to really over-saturate the paper with ink and smelled bad. It took a long time to dry and the cartridge did not last nearly as long as Epson. Also tried their color cartridge and the colors were quite different than Epson's and not as accurate. I'm willing to pay a bit more for a better (Epson) ink.

Great price, but a bit smelly.......2002-07-14

The price (...) was great. But the ink smells when it's wet. I don't remember the Epson-brand cartridges having this kind of smell.

The Perfect Alternative.......2002-04-27

The "Perfect" Alternative to an Epson printer cartridge!
"Great" Price and by all examination and estimation comparable Color Quality, Ink Spray and Installation. (Color tones seem to be a little richer, even up to 2400 dpi.) Last equally long. Epson Printers will display a message recognizing that it is not a Epson proprietory cartridge, disregard message, cartridge will work fine. Bought my first one from Amazon.com and am back to buy another one...Don't pay higher prices for Epson cartridges. (Sorry, Epson . . . but, at least I bought your printer and am happy with it!)
