It's great, much much faster than my G4 Powerbook. However, the stock allocation of RAM is not enough, you'll need to buy more.

It seems (to me) that OS X gets more out of RAM than it does out of processor cycles, so it's always best to get at least a gigabyte of RAM if possible. I'll be doing that shortly :)

Other observations:

- It's very quiet. I could never sleep with my Athlon-based PC on in the room, the cooling was way too loud and ATX is a crappy form factor. You should see the insides of a G5, it's almost perfectly designed with top-notch cooling, so there is very little fan noise.

- It's big, and very heavy.

- It's very sexy.

- Unfortunately it doesn't come with Bluetooth unless you specifically order it that way, and even if you do it needs an antenna out the back. I think the metallic casing interferes with transmissioon from within it or something. In my case, I'm going to have to buy a USB dongle and that's a little annoying.

Still though, a very impressively-designed and fast machine.
