I know one member Neyo, has a G4 Cube. But i am wondering are they still good spec wise

compared to a e-mac ?.. also do they still exist i live in the U.K. and cant find one for blood.

maybe im just looking wrong ? Or am i purely waisting my time. :pinch:

I got one off of Ebay. It was a really good machine, but I just needed more speed. So now I have a 15" PowerBook. I still own my Cube though, and use it to do any PageMaker work because I refuse to install any Classic applications that aren't needed on this machine. :p

Well I'm sure they won't let January 24th pass without anything special to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Macintosh launch....

on another note I had a weird dream that I bought a 15" Powerbook last night... among other things. Oh dear.

Personally, I'd get the eMac. They look just as good, and you'll have to waste some desk space on a monitor in either case.

Except with a Cube you could use an LCD. Even if he doesn't own one right now, he could always upgrade later. With the eMac, you are kinda stuck.

On a lot of websites, the rumour is either:

- iMac (with a metal appearance base)

- iMac (with a cube factor)

They are both rumours, and we won't know for 100% fact until Jan 24th :(

PowerMac G4 Cube 500MHz, 1.25Gb RAM, GeForce3 64Mb, 120Gb HD - 17" Apple Studio Display -
*that would be a sweet setup for me :)... i know the same as Neyo..

What would you use your Cube for? have you used a Mac before?

Of course a G4 isn't the FASTEST machine in the world... But if you pack it with a Gb of RAM, or max it even @ 1.5G, it's noticeably different from the stock 64mb it shipped with! ... CPU speed isn't everything, unless your application requires it. So in reality, what would you being on it? You have to realize, that you a pay a above average rate, to join the exclusive Cube Owners Club :happy: - and yet you don't get the Bang for Buck people speak of. Instead you get that silent, good looking machine, which is actually still quite expandable... The point would be, in short, Specs aren't watch get with Cube's, its quite something other - which is what probably drew to them, initially anyhow! ;)
