New “Power” Macs
Posted on Tuesday, January 28th, 2003 at 18:00.
Following the tradition of original PowerMac G4, the updated PowerMac G4s are overpriced and underpowered compared to Windows-based computers. If Mac OS X for x86 existed, I would have Dell hardware running the OS 400% faster for 200% cheaper. Good thing this is the Year of the Laptop for Apple because its professional desktop line continues to not impress me (or Apple’s bottom line). Okay, okay, enough hardball. The new PowerMacs are respectable, but $1499 is still a high entry point considering how much you need to upgrade the base options to have a machine worthy of the "PowerMac" label.
