- I love it!
I've had the new PowerMac Dual 2 Ghz. G-5 with the 20" Apple Display for about 5 weeks now.
I've found MY computer! This rascal is just a joy to use. So fast - so quiet! All the tech details are written about these Dual G-5s by many others. All I can add is that the whole package is so smooth that I can't see how I could ever tire of it.
No more trading computers every few years for this child........

- Zoom zoom zoom!
Okay so it may not be the fastest (2.5Ghz) but given the urgency I had then to get a new computer, I settled for the 2GHZ and not the 2.5 which I have to wait about 3 weeks more for it. After spending 4 years with a 500Mhz G4, upgrading to a dual 2.0GHZ is a MAJOR step forward for me. You start to notice the subtle differences in performance immediately. iTunes rip way faster, iMovie is simply a joy to use now versus the snail crawl I lived with previously... Photoshop filters zzpped through... and ... Read More

- Slick
This is a great box with flexibility for upgrades through the years. My last Mac, a Powermac G4 was built in 1999 (I've since upgraded the video card and processor), and is still running well, but I wanted the extra speed for Photoshop. I'll pass the other one down to my kids. They've been salivating over it for some time now.

This Mac will hold it's value for a long time. Unlike getting a PC, you won't throw it away in 2 years, nor will you want to. They really become more like a ... Read More

- Blowing Away The PC
As a PC user and builder for the last 10 years, I finally decided to migrate over to the Mac side and get away from most of the system hangs, crashes, and virus issues that MS Windows is so prominent for. I have always looked to the Mac innovations each year but could not justify the purchase. Now with a UNIX platform, the most stable of all computer land, it was a logical migration for me.

I am completely pleased with my purchase. I've had the dual 2.0 for over a month now with no issues ... Read More

- APPLE, WHERE IS YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE???
I recently purchased 7 Powermac G5's to replace our G4's. 4 of these had serious issues. One still is not running!

These were purchased in April of 2004, and all were purchased with the 'Applecare' Warrantee extension program. Apple has given us slow support, even the service 'depots' that they have me take the machines to complain about slow parts replacement, etc.(Slow as in weeks to months for parts that sometimes have to be re-ordered Problems range from OS to Hardware issues.
