Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

On the more affordable end of Apple’s Power Mac G4 series, the 1 GHz M8839LL/A Power Mac G4 is nonetheless a capable desktop computer and worthy alternative to many of today’s high-end, Pentium-based PCs.

Driving the M8839LL/A Power Mac G4 is a 1 GHz PowerPC G4 processor. Although its clock speed may not be as fast as that of similarly priced Intel-based PCs, this powerful CPU features a stunning 1 MB of Level 3 cache and will therefore easily handle virtually any real-world application. Apple has paired this processor with 256 MB of fast PC2100 266 MHz DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to a massive 2 GB) and an nVidia GeForce4 MX graphics card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. Also included are a spacious 7,200 rpm 60 GB hard disk for storage of your files and programs, and a combination DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, back up data, and watch the latest Hollywood releases.

In typical Apple style, the M8839LL/A Power Mac G4 is stunningly designed. Featuring a dynamic metallic yet transparent case, an etched Apple logo, and a variety of front-mounted connections, it is both futuristic and functional. Amenities include one high-speed FireWire 800 port (twice as fast as USB 2.0 for remarkably efficient interaction with peripherals such as digital camcorders), two standard FireWire ports, four USB ports, an Apple Pro keyboard with 15 programmable function keys and CD eject control, and an Apple Pro mouse. Wireless connectivity is supported via an AirPort Extreme card expansion slot.

The M8839LL/A system includes just a single mono speaker and no display screen, but offers provisions for any level of audio-video setup. Apple has pre-installed a broad range of software, including Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, iTunes, iMovie, and QuickBooks for Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars Apple does it again!!!, July 20, 2003

This review is from: Apple Power Mac Desktop M8839LL/A (1.0-GHz PowerPC G4, 256 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)

I absolutely love this machine. People who say all that stuff about macs dont know what they are talking about. Its simply imbedded into their brains. The truth is that macs are great and truely easy to use. This particular model is very powerful and will do anything you need from basic email and web surfing to video editing and photoshop. I highly recommend this machine to users that are advanced or beginners. You will love OS X as it never crashes. This is my fourth Mac and I will never use Windows again.

Well, it is THE BEST COMPUTER I EVER OWNED. I really love it. It runs fast, it is so quiet, it looks like a piece of jewelry. It runs in the default configuration (256m) faster than 2.53G PC with 1G of memory. I accomplished in one week more than in month on DELL. It comes packed with amazing software like OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner, as well as with many others.
I've got piece of mind finely and can get my work flowing as it should be.
And I can't see myself ever downgraded back to anything else.
Here is the real multitasking! It runs for 2 month now, clean , no crashes and no reboots. Yes, sorry I did reboot once by installing some additions that required it.
Really piece of technology, real thing, not bogus.
I'm proud to own this one and honestly can recommend to anyone else. Sure if you have EXTREMELY HEAVY tasks and the money is not your concern, you may wish to evaluate dual machine. But for everything that I do it has an excessive power.
