Pros: case design, speed, it's apple Cons: keyboard and mouse, needs lots of Ram
The answer to that question really depends on your needs. The G3 packs a lot of power and the only substantial thing that I see missing from the G3s when compared to the G4s is native AirPort support.
The standard video card is great and is...

Pros: Super Fast Cons: SCSI problem?
I'm going to begin with saying that I am not a technical expert so if your looking for someone to talk about the RAM and Cache, you've probably come to wrong place.
But I am a graphic designer, so I use Macs all the time, and the programs I...

Pros: User friendly, fast and reliable. Cons: Apple/Claris software is expensive and it is probable that UK English versions will not be available in the future.
I recently replaced an Apple Performa 6200 (Mac OS 7.5.5) with an Apple G3/400Mhz 128mb+64mb which has USB, a 12g disc, internal zip drive, an Apple V90 internal modem and Mac OS 8.6. It is impossible to compare the two computers because the G3 is so...

Pros: Looks great, easy to upgrade, fast Cons: terrible customer service
About a year ago I decided it was time to get serious about my graphic design work - everyone in the industry knows you get laughed at if you are not working on an Apple, so I did some exhaustive research and finally chose the new blue/white 300 mhz G3....

Pros: Speed, affordable RAM upgrades, backwards compatible with most of my older software Cons: Not completely compatible with all of my older software, SCSI and serial capabilities cost extra
When I first sat down to a Power Macintosh G3 Tower, I figured, "okay, it's a Macintosh, its a NEW Macintosh, its going to be better." I was wrong. It's a lot better.
I run both Mac and PC platforms, and I have used Win95, Win98,...

Pros: Ease and Comfortable Cons: Lack of Programs available
I have had my G-3 for 3 months now. In that time I have learned more about computers than ever before. I am an Quadra 630 owner so this is not my first MAC. I wouldn't own anything else!! This G-3 is FAST and I mean FAST. It can run a variety of...

Pros: Fast and Efficient Cons: Dosen't include modem or monitor.
When I purchased my Apple Macintosh G3, i wasn't expecting this much above-average performance! I went ahead with the 400mhz G3, with the fastest available being a 450mhz, and slowest being 233mhz. It came loaded with 128 MB Ram, a 9GB hard drive, and...

Pros: good for children Cons: not for business

by chabegger , Dec 13 '99
Pros: Very fast, looks good, easy to use Cons: Mouse, keyboard size, no AGP
I purchased this product because the other Mac I used was old. I have always been happy with Apple products. Anyone that needs speed for graphics, video, and/or audio would benefit greatly with this rather than a Pentium or AMD. Also anyone that wants...

Pros: Good, Fast and easy-to-use Cons: transfering files from platforms (i.e. PC to Mac) is not easy
Ok, my first computer was an LC2, I used it for about 5 years and it suited me for that time, but when I started using larger programs such as Myst, i realized i needed a new machine. The G3 is that computer. Now don't think i went directly from LC2 to...

my "first contact" with computers. I'm not sorry for this purchase.The G3
Powermac is an excellent machine for graphics.I have a 400 mhz processor,

Pros: Fast, Reliable, Easy to Use Cons: None
About 8 months ago I upgraded my old Performa to a Beige G3, buying a reconditioned one AND a 17" monitor from Apple's Special Deals section of their web site. It came with 32 MB of RAM and a 4 GIG hard drive. The reason I wanted the Beige was...

Pros: It's a Mac; expandable; fast Cons: None
I bought the Blue and White Apple Macintosh G3 to replace my 604e Power Computing clone. With the upcoming promises of System 9 and X, I wanted to make sure I had the latest in Apple technology. G4s have come out since, but I am completely happy with my...

Pros: A workhorse: the most solid machine you'll ever find Cons: No longer manufactured
I've used a number of computers, many of them Macintosh computers. I still hvae the original 128k Mac. I use a Mac IIci as a mailing list server. I've used a Performa and a 6100 (very first Power PC with a 66 MHz processor that blew us away at the time)....
