Test Bench: Apple Power Macintosh G4 with iMovie 2

 

Starting up the iMovie 2 software was as simple as double-clicking the pre-installed icon on the computer's desktop. The interface, at first glance, looks pretty much identical to the previous iMovie interface; the burnished chrome windows and...

Easy setup Easy to use Renders quickly

Excellent computer Power Mac G4 M7688 and others

 

This review is for the 533MHz version of the Power Mac G4 Digital Audio with DVD-ROM. We've upgraded ours somewhat so that the original specs don't totally apply. I'm forced to use a PC at work, but at home we're strictly Mac. We always buy used ...

Beautiful design, both inside and out, plenty of power, very expandable.
