iMac G4 review: Bold system avoids the sophomore slump | Macworld

macworld.com

Apple's iMac G4 is a bold design triumph that impresses with its innovative aesthetics and responsive G4 processor, making it a worthy successor to the original iMac. The pivoting LCD and compact base offer a unique, adjustable user experience, while the SuperDrive adds versatility. However, its ports are inconveniently placed, and it lacks the speed of a Power Mac G4. Despite minor quirks and a steep price, the iMac G4 delivers on style and sufficient power for most Mac enthusiasts, making it a visually striking addition to any workspace.

Apple Flat-Panel iMac review: Apple Flat-Panel iMac - CNET

cnet.com

The Apple iMac G4 impresses with its striking design and improved performance, making it a visually stunning and practical choice for everyday use. The 17-inch model offers significant upgrades over its predecessor, including a faster processor, better RAM, and excellent graphics performance, which make it nearly a rival to Apple's Power Mac G4 lineup. However, the lack of built-in wireless connectivity and limited expandability, such as no option for internal drives, may deter power users. Additionally, the cost can quickly exceed $2,000 with necessary upgrades, pushing buyers to consider more flexible options like the Power Mac G4. While the iMac G4 excels in design and basic functionality, its limitations and pricing keep it from being a standout choice for those seeking more robust computing power.

According to backline tech Mike Dean, keyboardist Brian Leisegang’s setup comprises an M-Audio Radium 61 keyboard connected through USB to an iMac G4 running OS 10.4. All sounds are created in Propellerhead Reason. The audio interface is a MOTU 828 mkII with a simple left/right send. “We also send a guitar part to a Korg Kaoss pad,” Dean says, “and returned to FOH to have it effected manually.”
