WOW, Holy Crap, WOW! We just got our hands on dual G5, 2.5ghz PowerMac. This thing moves, it’s sexy, and oh so quiet. It’s sitting on Jon’s desk and I am so jealous. You see it in the store, you listen to the sales team tell you how great it is, but then you get it in your home or office, and it blows you away. First off, it’s so silent. the dual fan, water cooled processors are virtually silent. Press the power button and wait for the fan whine to start, but it never does. Just the refreshing Apple “BONG”, and then silence.
When you launch iTunes and start to rip a CD to you 250GB hard drive, thatē“ when you start to understand what fast is. The everyday processes are finger snap quick. Launch a program, surf the web, watch video, it’s all accelerated. Of course the real power is in the processor intensive task. Video editing, Photoshop, simulators, these are all noticeably quicker, but for some reason, the machine is more than power.
The new PowerMac G5 is beautiful. The anodized aluminum case is cool to the touch and miles away from any PC case, modified or not. Everything is a click away. You can open the case without removing a single screw and the insides are O.C.D. organized. We added 2GB of RAM in less than 5 minutes.
Now a dual, 2.5 GHz G5 with 2.5GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive may be more power than you need, but if you have the need, fill it with the PowerMac G5. WOW!
