Finally, a computer designed for use by humans

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2005

The dual 2GHz CPU Power Mac is simply the most well made computer I've ever owned, and it features the best operating system I've ever used.

The Power Mac is so quiet that I have to hold my ear next to it to hear it at all. And the operating system was clearly designed to make the user experience less of a hassle than that other computer operating system.

I've worked full time in the computer industry since 1978. I've seen and used more operating systems than I can even remember. For years I've been stuck using Windows because I needed high end web design, digital photography, and graphics tools.

I finally got a chance to use OS X 2 months ago when I received a Mac Mini as a gift. I loved it so much that I ordered this Power Mac. Now all of my Windows PCs are shut down. I have switched, and I just wish I had done it years ago.

Safari is a better web browser, Mail is a better email client, Dreamweaver is faster on this Power Mac then on my fastest Atlon 64 PC. Even iPhoto is a joy to use.

If you are using a Windows PC and considering switching to the Apple world, this Power Mac has plenty of speed and power, and it is lovely to look at as well. It just works.

Finally!

Raw power, great expandability, ease of use.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2005

I've been using both Macs and PCs for about 12 years now. I prefer the Mac ten-fold over PCs. My latest Dual 2 Ghz G5 just reinforces that.

Among other graphics jobs, I edit video and create 2-D animation for broadcast, CD-ROMs, corporate, and internet. Yea, you can do this on the PC, but I get work done faster on my Macs.

This G5 is the third Mac in my arsenal, succeeding my Mac G4. As far as working with a dual processor machine, the Mac OS decides which application uses which processor. There are applications that can split work across both processors. These do benefit greater from a dual processor machine. But these are programs like Final Cut Pro and Photoshop that will benefit from splitting work across two chips. MS Word will not benefit. I've never waited for MS Word to finish rendering a document.

Adding on to the G5 is a breeze. With USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 & 800 ports, I have 4 external hard drives, a miniDV camera, my USB hub, scanner, and memory card reader all hooked up in harmony. Inside I have room for another hard drive and three PCI expansion ports. I upgraded the RAM to 2.5 GB for lots of work space those beefy video apps. Also, right out of the box (well, with an adapter) I'm running dual monitors. Not that I couldn't do that before since the Mac has been able to do that for about 12 years or so.

I can't tell you how much trouble I've had with my PCs and curse them every time something goes wrong. I don't have issues with my Mac. This is why I continue to buy Macs. Yes, they can be more expensive than a lot of PCs, but that's why people buy a BMW rather than a Hyundai. Besides, any cheap PC that is tricked out to do high-end work isn't going to be cheap very long.

Bottom line is if you want to get work done, buy a Mac. If you want to worry about crap infecting your machine, fiddling with spyware, and just use MS Word and surf the internet, get a PC.

A true work-horse!

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2007

I have been a professional multimedia artist for over 20 years. I have used both Macintosh and Windows systems professionally, and still do to this day.

I have always been more inclined to use Macintosh systems, because in the graphics world they are simply the best.

This is the 5th Macintosh I have owned, and though I have loved them all, and still have two of the older ones in service, this G5 is by far the most impressive machine I have ever owned!

For years I have heard people refer to "Multi-tasking" on both Windows and Macintosh systems. This used to consist of opening multiple applications and watching them all degrade in performance as the system tried in vain to divide up the processing power among the different applications. Basically for years I ran just one application at a time.

My G5 runs several applications at once with no degradation in speed at all!!!

I can be rendering in a 3D program, which is very processor intensive, while having my email program up and surfing the net, and no loss of speed!!!

I have played intense 3D games while having something run in the background, no problem!

I admit I was leery about OSX now using virtual memory, because I always thought Windows did a crappy job of managing virtual memory. When I heard that OSX was going to use virtual memory I thought "Oh no!". But Apple never does anything half-baked, and I have to admit that OSX does a superb job of handling virtual memory.

Though I have decommissioned my first two Mac's, and I will be sending my G3 to the computer graveyard soon, I know that my G5 will be around for a long time!

Ease of use? Excellent! Power? Plenty!! Viruses? None.... Ever....
