Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased and received a 1.25 ghz Power Mac G4 from the Apple Store Japan. Except for an issue with it not wanting to work with a ATA Raid card that operated fine in my old Quicksilver dual 1 ghz, the machine has been perfect. Since it was a "mirror door" series, I had steeled myself for the possibility that the noise level would be high, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it MUCH quieter than my Quicksilver -- about half as quiet, actually, based on side by side comparisons while copying files from my old machine to my new. So clearly, Apple has bent over backwards to find a reliable fix for the problems with this machine. The new G4s are super fast, not noisy at all, and sport many great features. If you've been holding out for a "quieter" G4 tower, this is it.

Although Apple’s midlevel 1.25 GHz M8840LL/A Power Mac G4 unit isn’t as potent as the top-of-the-line 1.4 GHz M8841LL/A model, it’s far from underpowered. In fact, like its upscale sibling, the M8840LL/A is driven by not one but two processors. Each runs at a clock speed of 1.25 GHz and both pack a whopping 1 MB of Level 3 cache. That’s a truly grand total of 2 MB of Level 3 cache, which allows the M8840LL/A Power Mac to perform at much higher speeds than its clock rating might otherwise indicate. Apple has also included 256 MB of fast PC2100 266 MHz DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to a massive 2 GB), a 64 MB ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card, a spacious 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 hard disk running at an efficient 7,200 rpm, and a convenient CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive for burning audio CDs, backing up data, and playing the latest movies.
As is typical with Apple computers, the system is stunningly designed. Featuring a dynamic metallic yet transparent case, an etched Apple logo, and a variety of front-mounted connections, it is both futuristic and functional. Desirable amenities include one high-speed FireWire 800 port (twice as fast as USB 2.0 for remarkably efficient interaction with peripherals such as digital camcorders), two standard FireWire ports, four USB ports, an Apple Pro keyboard with 15 programmable function keys and CD eject control, and an Apple Pro mouse. Wireless LAN and Internet support is offered via an AirPort Extreme card expansion slot.
The M8839LL/A system includes just a single mono speaker and no display screen, but offers provisions for any level of audio-video setup. Apple has pre-installed a broad range of software, including Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, iTunes, iMovie, and QuickBooks for Mac.
