Strengths: Ability to easily handle many applications at once. Easy to network with a P.C. OS X applications. Beautiful design.
Weakness: A little on the noisy side.
I love this machine. I've used P.C.'s all my life and this is my first experience with an apple. Man, I'll I can think is, all those wasted years. I'm in love. It's so easy to use. I didn't realize how hard a P.C. was to use. So the mac's a little noisy. Small price to pay when you consider all of the great apps. and functionality. I wouldn't trade this machine for anything. Too many pluses to...
Strengths: Powerfull and fast
Weakness: Too loud and audio noise
I like the computing performance of this machine, but I cant stand the constant loud whining noise the power supply fans make. I cannot believe how Apple could neglect this noise problem when designing the new machines. Im doing graphics and animation and used to work in a relatively quiet environment. Now I have this noisy computer and it keeps annoying me every day, simply for reminding me...
Strengths: fast, good multitasking, holds 4 hard drives, up to 2 GB mem
Weakness: a bit noisey
I've had one for 2 years. Have not had a problem w. kernal panics. has crashed twice in 2 years. I have over 500GB of storage on the unit (4 drives), and 1.5 GB ram- it runs fine. No viruses ever. has at least 4 PCI slots- a usb 2 card for 20 bucks is a good investment. Also, OS X runs best w/ > or =1GB ram. I think I will get another 5 years out of this unit.

Apple Power Mac Desktop Computer - 1 GHz
Strengths: Fast, OS X is rock solid, beautiful.
Weakness: Too Loud, frequent kernel panics, mouse freezes, and you must restart your computer now screens, whirring power supply, not suited for professional audio use, Poor Support.
This is the second MDD PowerMac that i have, it was a replacement for the first that had many kernel panics, system freezes, and "you must restart your computer now" screens. The computer fan is EXTREMELY loud, sounds like a leaf blower, but that is secondary to the power supply noise that will literally leave the user with a splitting head ache. This machine is not suited to professional audio...
