- G4 Cube 450MHz, MacBook Air 11" 2013, iMac 21.5" i3, iPad 1,1 32GB
Hey everyone, a simple question here really.
I have always wanted an iMac G4. I don't really care that it isn't at the cutting edge of technology, I bought a 450MHz Cube for myself for Christmas, after all. But I feel that it is just "one of those things I have to own," even if it doesn't do much. It is gorgeous.
However, after doing some research, and considering my Cube is doing everything I could technically want out of it with a 450MHz G4 Processor and only 128MB of RAM, I think an iMac G4 would be leaps and bounds in front.
Can you help me to decide between the final iterations of the 15" and 17" models? The 1GHz and 1.25GHz, respectively. Both have USB 2.0 which is all i actually need from it and the 20" really doesn't do it for me at all. More specifically, whether the 17" is worth the extra cash for the greater processor speed, screen real estate and bus speed.
What do you all think?
Thanks,
David
