  • CHECK OUT MY VIDEO...YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED!!!

  • The square on the screen it's just like grantmacintosh1's eMac

  • I just got one from my school for 20 bucks

  • i want it. can i have it?

  • My school still has a ton of these guys laying around. We have labs of MacBooks and iMac 21's, and each student gets a linux netbook, but they decided to keep the eMacs.

    iMac G3's were not so fortunate, they're all gone now.

  • I personally prefer an emac to an iMac g3

  • The screen flashes because it's an old shitty CRT.

  • @mmucougar The flickering screen you see in other videos is not the eMac's fault. It's because the camera refreshed faster than the eMac's screen. The eMacs are not broken.

  • I seem to be seeing Screen Issues in every single eMac video i've seen on YouTube

  • Why does the screen flash???

  • @marchofthepiggs its crt not led

  • I picked up one of these the other day on eBay for £5 :):):) it was a total gamble as it didnt have the spec or anything listed. Surprised when I got it home that it was 1.42GHz 2GB ram 160GB HDD and even wifi.

  • I bought a eMac off ebay with a 1.42ghz processor and 1gb of ram for $127 with shipping =].

  • do you have a clamshell ibook?

  • man this emac has even more memory than the one my art teacher has right now :P

  • mac is low , is a fuck

  • i don't get why people still buy this old crap. just get a windows machine for the same price but 10x faster.

  • @0neofthem You can get an eMac for like $50...any used Windows machine for that price you find (i.e one of those old Dell Dimensions) will be useless.

  • @0neofthem Actually, many people think Windows is true crap. I know I do- I would have one of these oldies before a new Windows machine any day. My former Windows PCs all run Ubuntu now. It's a matter of taste.

  • the eMac is the most attractive pre-intel apple ever made

  • @Jakeman2164

    Is it good enough for browsing the web and viewing youtube videos?

  • @Jakeman2164

    How slow is it?

  • U lazy bum I'd drive anywhere to get a Mac

    (I own mb 2.2ghz c2d & powermac g4 mdd 1.25ghz solo

  • my school STILL Has These!

  • i found a 1 ghz 1 gb ram emac in the trash yesterday with wireless and the dvd superdrive brought it home and fired it up works perfectly

  • i got one for 35.00

  • My old school had these.

  • I am watching this on my 700mhz eMac with 320mb of ram!

  • hahahahaahahahah i got mine for 30 dollars (great shape) wireless no ethernet

  • i got an emac but freezes the hole time when i enter safemode i got no problem

    what do i need to do

  • i have a question or two about the eMac. since i am getting a souped up on (the man said souped up XD) that has a CD and DVD burner , think about two gb RAM and 50-60 gb hard drive. just how good is it? im prob not gonna have the internet on it, and im mainly gonna use it for movies, and games. will the games run well?? (im only gonna have a few)

    and what would you rate it on a 1-10? thank you for your time! (im SUPER excited about etting mne!! :D)

  • my pc is 700 MHz it's from 2001

  • can I buy it off of you?

  • I have an eMac 700mhz. I figure it's time for an upgrade. I can't wait for my new MacBook pro! It was an exelecent computer for the last 8 years though.

  • @TechSpecsDaily dude emacs are slow as fuck i had one and it was sooo slow it was horrible

  • I'm using an emac now. I am impressed I heard they were over 1000 dollars.

  • okay thnks even more info..

  • youre pathetic bwahahhahahahahaha

  • I hate Emacs they remind me of school.. -,-

  • my school was too cheap, they used imac g3's till 2006.

    then i went to high school and they upgraded to god knows what.

  • My old Middle School has Emac's I went back after 5 years

  • i really dont know about macs but whats the diff between and imac and an emac?

  • iMacs are newer and bigger, have wirless keyboard and mouse, and are way more expensive than an emac. My grandpa has an emac lol

  • umm i mean the g3 imacs

  • The G3 iMacs are smaller and slower than the eMacs, but are more special because they are older and they are colourful. Performance-wise the eMacs are better.

  • well what year was the emac realesed?

  • 2001 i think. The G3 iMacs were 1998.

  • ohh okay then thnks..

  • Mine is only a pc but with mac os x 10.5 leopard

  • my homeschool gave me a eMac and a iPod, thee iPod is faster then thee eMac lol i hate this computer, but it was easy to break there lock they had on it (: now i can look at anything i want ^_^ well until they find out but who cares xD im getting a new laptop tho, thank god! haha nice video!

  • We Had those in 2005 - 2007 Then Mac Minis 2008 - 2008 Then The New i Macs

    We Have Now

  • i got mine for free but i have to re cap it do you know were i can get a kit

  • Wow. My school has an entire room filled with emacs that are just sitting there doing nothing. They're all slowly being replaced by modern iMacs and they're basically going to waste.

  • 1. ask them for them

    2. sell on ebay

    3. ?????

    4. profit!

  • Haha, I wish. My school district is so stingy. They'd rather have the option of someday using them then actually use them themselves.

  • isn't it supposed to be iMac or am I wrong... plz answer :D

  • @PaulDavidT emac means (educational)mac not imac

  • hey is it just the camera or something or do all the emacs have a line moving on the screen... is that just me???

  • The camera catches the refresh rate of the CRT screen.

  • @marvin4578 to tell you the truth i didn't know that

  • Camera!

  • No i think that is the camera because most cameras record the black lines that go through old screens like the SD TVs

  • thats because the cam its on every screen

  • its just with the camera. i have an emac and when i try to record the screen its always like that. when i record my parents computers it isnt like that

  • My teacher has 2 of these! :D

  • ibook g4 for sale comes with original charger.1.07 ghz and 768 mb.good condition. i just bought a macbook so i dont need this one...anyone interested?

  • @shawnstar86 How muchs?

    

  • @CAM4425 sorry dude i sold it a while back......

  • @shawnstar86 how much?

  • See my vid, i got a 1 ghz for 5$!!!

  • Im getting mine for free ;) (From school)

  • Did they just give it to you?

  • Yeh XD

  • my company is getting rid of a bunch of top of the line emacs (1.42ghz) for just $50. i'm getting a few :)

  • how many computers do you need? (not an insult just wondering)

  • He has a collection

  • iLove These <3

  • I bought my eMac (1.2ghz/512mb/80gb) and I love it. I'm now thinking of upgrading to a power mac g5

  • Are you, like, british or somethin?

  • eMacs are the BEST deal going for those wanting to dip their toes in the waters of Apple.

  • id sell mine on ebay ,but its like 50lbs

  • Bhind the apple logo is the DVD/CD thing

  • Aha, I wanted to hear the "ding!" sound again. The Mac lab at my university has eMacs.

  • I Have now boughy my eMac for £50.00

    1 GHz CPU

    80 GB HD

    1 GB RAM

    DVD Drive

    Thanks Power PC, you convinced me ti get this

  • Wow, you kinda got ripped there. I picked one up 80GB Leopard, Office 08, Adobe Master, 512 RAM and a 1.25ghz PPC G4 for £10

  • Where?

  • That's in pounds! See, us in america call it dollars! It's worth more!!!

  • That is one of the things I hate if you buy a used computer. Burn in on the screen.

    I wish I had your eMac model. Harmon Kardon speakers are great.

  • the ones in my school have a login burn to

  • i have one of those too, but the holes on the speakers are much much smaller.

  • get spent 39secs talking bout his fukin town

  • nice emac, but mine is better i have a power pc G4 1ghz 1.25Gb of ram and 40Gb hardrive and it's running 10.5.6 which is the latest leopard with a dvd rw and cd rw superdrive i also bought the new slim aluminum keyboard and the new mighty mouse like yours

  • that's nice for you. i love the Emac, but if we're competing ATM, i would say my new iMac (2.93 GHZ, 24") kicks ass. but seriously, the emac was my favoruite computer back then

  • Machine Model:eMac

     CPU Type:PowerPC G4 (2.1) Number Of CPUs:1 CPU Speed:700 MHz L2 Cache (per CPU):256 KB Memory:1 GB Bus Speed:100 MHz Boot ROM Version:4.4.2f1

    I cant seem to get past OSX 10.3.9 on mine

    not super drive,any ideas ? I want to get more out of it

  • you dont sound australian im australian but i have only found 1 vintage mac where i live which is a Power Macintosh G3 Outrigger Beige

  • He does sound American, I originally thought that this video was from America, due to the price. I am getting one of these this week for $185.00, It is a 1.25GHz with 512MB RAM, an 80GB HDD and a SuperDrive.

  • They're really good for the price now, even though they're all used. I've been using mine a few months now and it's worked great.

  • emac sucks powermac g4s are better

  • power mac G4s are hideous

  • I just got myself an eMac and it's quite loud as you can hear in the video. It struggles a bit with Flash videos, because the Flash integration is not so well in Mac OS X. But other than that it's the cheapest Mac with a G4 you can get for money. So I'm happy. :)

  • i purchased 1.25 ghz 40 gb with 1gig of ram with disc, box, keyboard for $300.00 in 2007, and it is still working fine on tiger. i recommend this machine

  • where do you live?

  • I bought one from Flint MI. 1.25 GHZ, 80 GB hard drive, OS X 10.4, keyboard and mouse for $99 32 for shipping... but hey alot cheaper than a mac mini

  • must of been ATR computers or Noah I'm from the area.

  • its a brutal machine, i love this

  • I just ordered an eMac off of ebay for 100 bux with free shipping. But hey 109 is pretty good concidering it has 512 mb of ram and it seemed pretty speedy.

  • ok so the first 40 seconds....lmfao no sense,... but other wise...5stars

  • They aren't that old. I'm getting one with my Christmas money.

  • eMac's are rare

    luckly my School has 3 of them ^_^

  • my school has like 25 of them....or more.. i guess its just the computers they decided to go with

  • did this have a problem when you bought it.

    and also when its shutting down, you can see the power light flickering on and off.

  • you should have called it the mbpro.if an one can give me a mac for free for experimental reasons such as codeing it to make software that will be cool plz mail me if you are interested

  • My computer (E mac) I bought in around 2003-2004 for 4000$. It is trash now, and there are WAY faster computers out there for cheaper. 109$. Lol

  • idiot 1024mb is one gigabyte

  • i kind have already noticed tht JERK!

    i went to about this mac!

  • Wow that noisy.

  • nice i bought one from my school for 100$ 2 days ago it will be raedy in a week or two

    I dont know much about macs but is it a good computer?

    they said it comes with 512mb ram

    can i buy a 1gb ram and how much does it cost?

  • The eMac is still a very capable computer. I ran it as a desktop for quite a while and was overall satisfied with it. The eMacs up to 1.0GHz use SDRAM. You can get a 512MB stick of SDRAM off eBay for around AU$15. All eMacs above 1.0GHz use DDR RAM. You can get a 512MB stick of DDR RAM for around AU$20.

  • Oh yes. It's very good for a computer of it's age. 512MB was used up until last year, so it's very good.

  • Very nice computer, too bad about the burn on the screen.

    CRT's can implode?!? 0_o

  • haha my school every class room has emacs one room even has a imac G3 one of the early ones o.O

  • does imovie come on Mac oS X Please reply on my channel.

    Thanks

  • Apple bundles iMovie (which is part of iLife) in with their Macs only. However retail Mac OS X Install discs don't have iLife installed.

  • Mac os x Jaguar (10.2.3)

    i installed that on an ibook tangerine.

    and it came with iphoto and imovie and itunes.

  • Wow thats a bargain, i just got one. A 1,25 ghz, with 1,5 gb ram. It flies, boots up in 40 secs. cheers.

  • whats the difference between eMac and iMac im just curious sorry if i sound stupid

  • The eMac was originally designed as a cheap alternative to the iMac G4 for schools (hence the e in eMac for education). It was originally only available to schools but was then made available to the public making the e stand for nothing really in particular.

    The eMac features a 17-inch screen and a G4 processor over the iMac's G3 processor and 15-inch screen. This was also the answer to many requests for Apple to put a 17-inch screen into the iMac.

    Hopefully this answers your question.

  • ok hank ou we use them at my school but my lucky teacher gets to use a mac pro thanks again PowerPCUser

  • P.S. it's as heavy as the iMac G3 333MHZ because it has a fan and a lot of metal. The iMac G3's after the 333mhzz have no fan or metal case. So light!

  • Thanks for the tip. And, yeah when I compared the eMac weight to the iMac weight, I compared it to the slot-loading one that I have because I haven't actually seen a tray-loading iMac in person. The eMac is 6kg heavier than my iMac, however since it has a 17-inch over 15-inch screen and a flat CRT, it has a reason to weigh more.

  • I got one too for $133 on eBay recently.

    G4 700mhz,40 Gig,OS X Tiger,CDRW.

  • We had 2 of those before our school board bought Dell computers for all our schools (high and elementary).

  • my elementry school has those, middle school runs tiger on g5

  • got my from my uncle for 20 bucks

  • Now that is cheap.
