What You Should Know about the iMac G5

PowerPC Processor Works Well With Earlier OS X Versions

The presence of a PowerPC CPU on the motherboard indicates that this system is almost certainly an older Mac machine. Apple switched over to Intel processors in 2006 and has gradually dropped PowerPC-processor support from the Mac OS X operating system. A late-model PowerPC-based Mac is fine if one of the still highly competent earlier versions of OS X meets your needs. But if you want to keep up with Apple's latest operating-system revisions going forward, you should opt for a newer Intel-based Mac.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: One of the easist to use computers out there.

Weaknesses: Very few! I would recommend that there be a way to eliminate the constant pop-ups to purchase software that has already been purchased.

Overall Evaluation: Our company has been using Macs since 1988. This is our 8th iMac G5 1.8Ghz since the beginning of 2005, and these computers are really hard to beat for their versatility and their power. They are sleek in appearance, take up very little desk space and make our office look very modern.
