08/04/2004 | As much as I love macs, my PowerMac G3 All-In-One was a piece of crap. It froze all the time, had little memory (I couldn't install OS X), etc. However, I believe this was partly my fault, as I bought it used. I am now setting my sights upon a NEW G4 iBook.

01/15/2001 | The browser is faster, however it is not user friendly. It's not easy to use. The mouse and the keyboard are not comfortable enough.

01/11/2001 | Being a graphic arts major, we mainly use Macs, excellent for this application. The G3s are powerful and capable of doing multiple tasks. Mac users will love it.

01/10/2001 | I have used this and still prefer PC. Mac's are not very user friendly in the first place. It does not provide a good platform for programmers. It serves well for multimedia purposes and desktop publishing, but for regular PC users and programmers, the Mac G3 is a no go.

12/07/2000 | With Apple introducing new computer models this past convention, the old grey G3 prices have been heading downward, making the 400Mhz G3 a fantastic steal. Sleek casing, great graphics and hands down the best operating system make this bad boy a good buy. Plus, the price of a system, monitor, and printer can now come out to be a little over $1,500. Thus, there is no reason to buy a PC instead.

11/30/2000 | This is an excellent computer because I enjoy its ease of use. It comes with tons of features and has all I really need in a computer. I also like the look; very stylish. It is definitely a grabber.

11/21/2000 | I hear it's okay but I don't really like Macs in general. I think that the good features are that it's very basic and easy to use. I also like that it's fast, but it's still a Mac.

10/31/2000 | NOOO! Please get that computer away from me! This computer is garbage. I had this computer and it was not worth the money I spent on it. The damned thing takes too long to load any program (esp. art programs), and forget the internet. In my opinion the only place fitting for this "rotten" apple is the garbage.

10/26/2000 | The only problem I've heard of with G3s is on the Yosemite motherboard (1st revision, black and white). It had a problem with the IDE bus. In the others (Sawtooth motherboard), they work perfectly and are very fast, I highly recommend them. A few of my friends have them and love them.

10/25/2000 | I'm not big on Apple computers, but the G3 is one of Macintosh's best. G3 is fast for an Apple computer, but reliable. The operating system is so easy to use a two year old can use it.

10/05/2000 | I like the fact that Macintosh has far superior architecture to IBM, that its user interface is the original version of what WinBlows is a copy of. Plus, so much awesome multimedia software, sound and graphic manipulation tools.

07/24/2000 | The G3 is a very reliable computer, as every Mac. However, it is not capable of supporting internet use. Trying to consult pages that use Java usually leads to crashing the computer.

07/21/2000 | It's a fast computer, when it's not freezing up, which is rare. For some reason, the G3's I worked on never fail to freeze. If you get one, make sure you save your work as you go along.

07/20/2000 | A terrific deal for its price. All the power you will need out of a desktop computer for a relatively low price. Plus the ease of the Mac OS. If you're looking for a fast, affordable Mac, this is the one.

07/15/2000 | While the iMac lacks a 3.5 floppy drive, the G3 makes up for a similar lack by incorporating a zip drive, making file sharing and tranfers easier. Also, the G3 has enough power, speed, and space for any professional. The only other drawback to buying a G3 is the price. With the Pentium III chip available, G3 prices should come down to a competitive range, yet Apple has yet to lower prices.

07/03/2000 | The PowerMac G3 Series computers are the first revolutionary CPU to come out that has enough processing power to defeat the P3 by just about 2x over. The PPC G3 is a stable computer and is great for business, home, and leisure.

06/26/2000 | The power Macs memory capabilities are superior to that of a PC, if you are willing to pay the money for it. The Macs sleek monitor and mouse design makes browsing the internet or writing papers fun and hi-tech. The see through monitor is a different look from the normal PC.

06/20/2000 | More fun than the iMac because it finally has a color that a man can be proud of...grey. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to expand anything. You have to buy additional ports, including one for a floppy drive. Also, it is difficult to extend the memory, so you are stuck with what you buy.

06/17/2000 | I am on a PC a lot, and when I tested these PowerMac's, I found them to be sluggish and not very user friendly. Their interface is quite confusing. It's expensive. A PC with all the same features is hundreds of dollars less.

05/31/2000 | Very fast and very powerful system. I do multimedia work on it. I use flash, director, photoshop, and other production programs and applications. It consistantly keeps track of how much power it has left to run. The screen is super clear even when compared to regular monitors. JBC speakers built in gives a cool sound effects. I highly recommed it.

03/08/2000 | Faster than a speeding bullet when it comes to the Internet, and very user-friendly. But what genius thought it wouldn't be necessary to put in a floppy drive? Zips are great, but everyone in my school's closest computer lab complains about how they don't need 100 MB of secondary storage space, and have to walk across campus to find a computer that will handle their disks.

In addition, this model, an educator's version with a bundled 17-inch Apple Studio Display, sports the ATI VR video card and AVID Cinema. I'd recommend this machine any day to anybody. was a

12/11/1999 | I love this machine - it is fast and has only crashed twice in the past six months (unlike my windows box at work, which is awful).
Almost as important as its reliability is its sense of design. There are reasons why some people drive nice cars and other people don't -- the same is happening with computers.

11/27/1999 | Simply superior. faster, easier, better. You could not pay me enough to go back to using a Pentium. Windows is a poor poor choice, when compared to the Mac's GUI. I'm buying a laptop before the year end, and it's going to be a Powerbook, based on my experience with my G4.

11/27/1999 | Three times as fast as the fastest pentium on the planet. Everything Microsoft does is a second-rate sloppy, buggy, poorly-executed copy of the work of others. Apple Computers are heads and shoulders above. Superior color management, ease of use, asthetics, and a truly intuitive graphical user interface.*****!
