My *new* iMac G4: Unboxing & First Boot

MUTE

[mrrobloxia101]

the box got all crappy thats why you only buy from the apple site or a nearby apple store.

[honam1021]

@mrrobloxia101 Apple doesn't sell old Macs.

[almann1117]

I have a 1ghz model with 1.25GB ram (installed it m'self, got out of an OLD BROKEN ibook g4, swapped the ram xD) and put leo on it. IT ROCKS OUT LOUD. It's sharing the desk with my pc. The pc doesn't like that. the PC knows it's only there because it is more modern...

fail packaging...

[SuperVideoradio]

fuckyou

[flirtwd]

the g4s are so fucking well made. I can't see myself tossing out my 1 ghz g4 17inch for noting. The screen is amazing but yeah, it just crawls along through the internet

[AdrianoArruguetti]

@flirtwd Try to use YouTube5 in the latest version of Safari. My Mac goes online very well with this!

[bronpedullasmith]

*tear falls* that was so touching i know how you feel, after years of trying to make my pc look like a mac, im finally getting a g4 that i bought on ebay for 70 dollars tonight

[AdrianoArruguetti]

@bronpedullasmith 70 dollars?! My god, how cheap it is! I've bought my iMac here in Brazil for R$ 1.300, making the conversion its aproximately about US$ 600. Anyway, congrats on your iMac. :)

[MattieKirby1]

I hate apple, hate macs hate everything about them but i want a g4, just so it can sit in a corner and look good because it must be the best looking comp ever built i don't know why they didn't stick with that design.

[MrJohnKaulitz]

EEhhh o mundo Mac eh perfeito mesmo .... num vivo sem meu iMac ahahaha

[greysmoke321]

sweet machine..

[Arathorn451]

im pretty confused cos this was posted mid last years, that was when the 20" and 24" was out, why would u waste ur money on an old crappy model? :/

[Misstersack]

@Arathorn451 Why not? Maybe he doesnt need all the power the new ones have

[trakkino]

mt foda... sempre axei esse um dos melhores computadores de todos os tempos... comprou ond??

[AyuBetter]

@trakkino Comprei no MercadoLivre. Hoje os G4 e G5 usados estão bem parecidos no preço (até alguns Macbooks baixaram bastante de preço), mas na época diferenciava bastante.

[virustwin]

this intro is better than the one that leopard uses now

[tklawrence123749]

Jeez the packing is huge on the older macs!! compared to todays

[96FUZZ]

Im getting this in 15 inch tiger 800 mhz, who knows, maybe you could give me some tips.

Is this good for youtube

[AyuBetter]

@96FUZZ I recommend you a 1GHz iMac G4 (or above, like the 1,33GHz models from 2004), because they can run Leopard, that is way more actual than Tiger. Keep searching, maybe the cash difference between these iMacs is not so much.

About YouTube, the G4 Macs are a little slow with Flash contents. It's not Mac fault, it's Adobe that is lazy and didn't done a good job on Flash version for Macs. But for YT you can use Click2Flash, that allows playing videos on QuickTime very well. ;)

[meksmagic]

@AyuBetter

yea its the fault of adobe because your shitty 800mhz cant play youtube lol!

[AyuBetter]

@meksmagic Yes.

[milkygear]

@AyuBetter You are retarded.

[kf932009]

@96FUZZ use 240p

[easywebshow]

old! But very nice!

[jesusfreaklol1]

what was the video at the end

[AyuBetter]

It's the beginning of "Countdown Live 05-06" show, from Ayumi Hamasaki.

[AyuBetter]

@serialkissersband Verdade. Depois que você aprende a reconhecer um Mac, começa a ver em todo lugar! "O Diabo veste Prada" por exemplo, é um prato cheio.

[zoutochni]

This is a very popular IMac I am wondering do ppl like this IMac more than the new ones?? Would anyone want Apple to make these again??

[the411ofapple]

probably not unless apple put new processors in them these models cant even run imovie09

[AyuBetter]

Eu também não! XD Hahaha

A música que aparece no final é "STEP you", da Ayumi Hamasaki, e a que toca no começo é "Get On Your Boots", do U2.

[laaayon]

parabéns cara, mais nao entendo porque comprar uma maquina com configuração tão baixas que vc nao vai achar memórias, hdd's, processadores seilá para atualizar... poderia comprar um pc paulada com isso ou seila... esta maquina ta meio abandonada pelo apple acha nao?

[AyuBetter]

Configuração baixa? Nem tanto. O Mac é construído de maneira diferente do que os PCs, tanto é que ele defasa muito mais lentamente. Apesar do meu G4 não ser o último modelo de iMac, roda tudo que eu preciso! Sem contar que o Mac não é um computador que te deixa na mão. Pra ter uma idéia, tenho aqui um iMac G3 de 350Mhz rodando o Panther, que já é praticamente um Windows Vista. Estou falando de uma máquina de 10 anos atrás rodando um sistema moderno. Um PC de 1999 faria isso? ;)

[Clone284]

Great That you got a Mac but don't you feel kinda left out because it doesn't have intel so you will never be able to up-grade to the greatness of leopard or snow leopard?

[AyuBetter]

Yes, a little bit. It's sad that the PPC's are no longer supported but...man, this iMac is amazing. Ok, the G5 and the aluminum iMac are great machines too, but no exist a Mac so awesome that the iMac G4. It's my favorite ;)

[xboxlazygamer]

He CAN upgrade to leopard. (Just as long its a G4) But he can't upgrade to snow leopard.

[weinerschnitzelboy]

i think you can get leopard, but not snow leopard

[AyuBetter]

Yes weinerschnitzelboy and

xboxlazygamer! I've had added some more memory (from 512 to 1,25GB of RAM) and after this, installed Mac OS X Leopard.

[toberichmoe]

congratz on the mac they are great, mine is in repairs atm but all is going well.

[AyuBetter]

Thanks! ;)

[3e7o]

Show de bola. Esse iMac é considerado aé hoje a máquina mais bonita da Apple
