In the Market for a Used Mac? Consider the Power Mac G3

byDr_Steph Jun 23, 2000
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 8 Comments
Pros Fast, powerful, trouble-free
Cons Cheesy mouse and keyboard, looks a bit like a toy
Recommended it? Yes

This is a significantly revised version of an earlier deleted opinion

Just to give you a little history on me and my computers...I bought my first Mac when I was in graduate school - a Mac Plus. Ever heard of that? I paid about the same for this first computer (with no hard drive) as I... Read full review »

Pros great looks, easier and faster
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

This computer is such a great change from my Apple PPC 8500 150 MHZ machine. I have found such hard time using the old machine for more than several months. This new look make the Apple machines wonderful. I love the new colors and molded curves. I think Apple really hit a home run with the average... Read full review »

G3 - Why I love my computer

bytechiedragon Mar 14, 2000
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Fast, stable, expandable, very cheap now!
Cons Some don't like the design
Recommended it? Yes

I am a Mac convert (used to have total disdain for them) because of OS 8.5 and this computer. I do tech support for both Macs and PCs, so I have a lot of experience fixing and working with computers, and the more I fix PCs the more I appreciate Macs (except for Performas ). I find the Macintosh... Read full review »

Pros Reliability, Speed, Price, Capability, and smooth design too!
Cons not a thing
Recommended it? Yes

I was sat down in front of an Apple computer at around age 3. What can I say, I was a precocious child and my father was looking for a way to shut me up. Unfortunately for him, he only jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Since that fateful time I have explored computers of all... Read full review »

Okay, but could be better

Pros Looks neat
Cons Buggy
Recommended it? Yes

The only contact I have with G3's is at my university. Man, I was impressed with my department that I work for, mainly because they were upgrading. I had wanted a G3 of my own, but thought I'd check it out before making a purchase that big.

My overall impression is they could have fixed a... Read full review »

Defintely a step forward for Apple

Pros Fast. Stable. Good quality. Excellent flip-down case. Stylish.
Cons Weird mouse. Bug with ATI card needs patch. Keyboard missing back-delete
Recommended it? Yes

I've been using a Mac G3 for over a year now. A large part of my work involves graphics design since I'm in the advertising business. I also use a PC running Windows 98 (P-III 550MHz). Generally I've been happy with the G3, especially if I compare the performance to my previous Mac which is a... Read full review »

Ode to My G3

bygabby Mar 14, 2000
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Power, speed, beauty, utility
Cons None. You don't need a floppy drive.
Recommended it? Yes

(Please note, I have the 350 mhz, 128 meg RAM, Zip Drive, CD-ROM G3)

I owned an Apple Performa 6290 for 2.5 years and I put it through its paces - adding memory alone (up to its whopping 64MB limit) earned me several gashes. It was slow and cranky. The Performa was, for me, the epitome of... Read full review »

The Computer World's Smurfette: Apple PowerMac G3

byherjazz Feb 23, 2001
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Style, Easy access to inside for upgrades, Reliable, Fast
Cons Useless mouse and keyboard
Recommended it? Yes

The PowerMac G3 comes in 3 processor speeds: the Motorola 350, 400, and 450MHz PowerPC chip. But if you're a smart computer shopper, you know not to merely compare and look at MHz, because that is not the end-all-be-all indicator of a computer's speed or overall performance and suitability. Macs in... Read full review »
