How small can a computer get? Does it possess traffic stopping
looks? Has enough attention been paid to incorporate the latest
technology? If you thought your G4 was the best Apple had ever
manufactured, think again!
It
has come down to a cube of 8 square inches. It holds groundbreaking
technology in a clear crystal cabinet. It is the Power Mac G4
cube from Apple introduced in the MacWorld Expo in New York.
It is capable of delivering more computing power than PCs four
times its size.
It delivers far greater performance with its built-in velocity
engine and reaches speeds of over one billion calculations per
second leaving the fastest Pentium III processors far behind.
It gives you more power for demanding uses like desktop publishing,
3D games and the ultra-modern DVD movies.
The
450 MHz Cube comes loaded for action with Mac OS 9, 64MB of
high-performance RAM upgradeable to 1.2GB, a capacious 20GB
Ultra hard disk, DVD-ROM drive, graphics card and 16MB of graphics
memory. Amazingly, this enormous G4 processor does not require
a fan to cool itself, making it one of the quietestcomputers.
The only sound one would hear is from the pair of special Harman
Kardon stereo speakers shaped like an ashtray.
It sports the new Apple mouse using optical technology that
has no moving parts. It doesn't even require a mouse pad, as
devices guided by laser do the job of tracking. Even better,
it does not feature a single button. Watch for finger! Simply
rock or tilt the mouse to activate the button feature. It includes
a built in 56K modem, as well as a Fast Ethernet. It is fully
compatible with Apple's wireless Airport technology with the
additional requirement of a card and hub.
A new Apple 15" flat-panel LCD display was also introduced at
the expo. It has only a single cable coming out of the monitor.
Also featuring touch controls and an elegant design, the G4
Cube is a sight to behold.
The
pricing of the Cube is around USD 2,000 for the standard model.
Scheduled to be shipped all over the world in late August, including
India, the new G4 Cube mean serious competition to other PC
manufacturers.
