Product Description

Product Description
Buckle up - the Power Mac G4 is here. It features the revolutionary PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine, which crunches multimedia data at blazing-fast speeds. The Velocity Engine uses true independent vector processing - a technology originally developed for use in scientific supercomputers. It gives you the power you need to create and manipulate even the most complex graphics files. The result is unprecedented productivity for creative professionals - in the arts as well as the sciences.Apple designed the Power Mac G4 for creative professionals who use computers as the pivotal tool of their trade, setting the pace of their work, their productivity, even their success. With its blazing-fast speed and convention-crushing design, the Power Mac G4 picks up where the best-selling Power Macintosh G3 left off. The Power Mac G4 is so powerful that its speed is measured in gigaflops, or billions of floating-point operations per second, just like supercomputers. At the heart of this system is the PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine. Using vector processing, the PowerPC G4 brings supercomputer performance to the desktop for the first time. The Velocity Engine moves vector and multimedia data at super efficient speeds - it can process data in 128-bit chunks, instead of the smaller 32-bit or 64-bit chunks used in traditional processors. For all those who consider their desktop system a tool for expressing their creative abilities, there's a computer that can keep up with everything their minds can imagine - as quickly as they can only imagine. It's Power Mac G4.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proud, happy Cube owner, July 25, 2003
By Gordon K. Werner (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a proud, happy owner of 2 apple Cubes ... This one as well as a tricked-out model with 1.5 GB of Ram, a 1.5 Ghz G4 processor and a 160 MB hard drive.

Regardless of the stats, the cube has to be one of the most amazing pieces of industrial design ever created ... and it is a Mac (of course) to boot!

I haven't had any trouble with either of my Cubes ... and I would suggest that everyone gets one before they become real-collectable items!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Cube, January 29, 2005
By Human Capote (kansas City, Mo USA) - See all my reviews
  
In 2000 I decided to finally break down and get a computer. Everyone said get a Dell, get a Dell so I got a dell. I got it in the mail, set it up, and crash. Called help. Reinstalled software. Ok for a few days then crash. Anyway, after three weeks of this I returned the Dell and bought a G4 Cube. I love my Cube. All I have ever had to do is add memory and a bigger HD. Runs Panther like a charm. It's so QUIET. And it's purty. I think so! (although the mini has been catching my eye) This really has been a very stable, reliable computer. Even with the original processor I am able to do pretty much everything I want to (photo's, music). It's kinda like driving a neat old sportscar.

5.0 out of 5 stars A COMPUTER OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER, October 11, 2004
The Apple Cube is without a doubt the most beautiful computer ever made. As soon as I saw it in 2001 I knew I had to have one. Apple had already stopped production so I found one on eBay for 2000 bucks. I have never regretted it. I maxxed out the RAM to 2 Gig as soon as I got it. Since then I have put in a much larger hardrive and a superdrive CD/DVD burner with good results. It is running the latest OS X, Panther and I plan to put Tiger on as soon as it is out. It is dead silent as it has no fan. I have it up on some nice teak wood blocks to improve the convection cooling though it had never run hot it just looks good up there. I run it 24/7 as a iTunes jukebox airported to the rest of the house and whatever else I want to compute as well. Irony that just now 5 years later I am seeing PC cubes coming out, only they are UGLY. I would highly recommend this computer to anyone of taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine
My only complaint about the cube is that Apple stopped making them.

I love that it is small, and silent, the way a computer should be.
