Very quiet and basic Mac, perfect for bedroom or living room. Added a Bluetooth USB and works perfectly with remote mouse and keyboard. Will eventually hide behind the tv screen its attached to.
I needed a simple reliable computer that could be used to play DVDs and connect to BBC iPlayer and other online sources, as part of a home cinema setup. This worked pretty well in most respects, but I ran into a real problem with the sound output; persistent hum when connected to my home cinema amp, which could only be stopped by the use of an isolating transformer. Later Intel versions have an optical digital output which can't suffer from this form of interference. Buyers should be aware that G4 macs cannot run most recent Apple software (for Intel processors), and may have problems with sites that use some versions of flash etc. For example, the last releases of firefox and VLC media player that support this processor are now several years old, Dropbox no longer supports G4 processors, etc. A big plus is that these computers are more or less immune to viruses, only a few were ever written for this processor and most have never been seen in the "wild". It's also relatively easy to make changes to the G4 model - I upgraded the RAM and easily added WiFi and Bluetooth. Later models are much harder to work with, and even adding memory is a bit tricky. It should be obvious that this isn't s state of the art PC - it's old, it's relatively slow, and it's a little limited in what it can do. But if you want a simple reliable computer it's a pretty good choice,.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I'm definitely a convert to Mac now. Everything worked so easily. I just plugged it in and presto. It looked for the nearby wireless printer and installed it automatically, no fuss, my TFT screen worked fine with it, the adaptor fitted... what could be easier? And now I can say goodbye to viruses and stickiness and things getting slower and slower. Macs are cool.
bought this to replace a power mac g4, the first thing i noticed other than the massive decrease in size, was how quiet the mini mac runs you can hardly hear it. it boots up quick, but I will be upgraging the memory from the 512 MB as this is the bear minimum and there is always room for improvement. the only downside I would say about macs as opposed to pc's is that they are vastly over priced, yes they are well built, but that still does not warrent the price. I got mine at what i would call a decent price though which is why i went straight for the buy it now option.
The Apple mac mini G4 is a brilliant little mac, simple and easy to use, this mac is a definite option for a first time mac user especially if you are on a budget as this little mac is drastically cheaper than many of the other macs to be found on sale. Any buyer would not be disappointed.
