Strengths: No Viruses, No Spyware, No Windows Faster than my PC Mac OS X is like nothing else after the initial 3 day Windows-withdrawl period Runs MS Office Yet to find anything it can't do that my PC can
Weaknesses: Price Doesn't come with a 2 button wheel mouse, although you can plug in any USB mouse and it will work perfectly...even the right mouse button!
Summary: After being a Mac critic since I got my first computer, after working at a company that used Macs exclusively, I finally decided to bite the bullet and at least try the Mac platform which I despised so much. Funny for me it backfired and now I'm hooked. After just a month of owning my first Mac, my PC is now collecting dust and I haven't used it for weeks.

My original concern that there would be freeware programs that only come in Windows flavours has been shot since I realized how rich the world of Mac freeware actually is. Also, a nice benefit is that many popular games are now released for PC and Mac on the same date, something that was hardly true in the past.

Finally, I'd like to say that Mac OS X is perhaps the coolest part about this machine. The OS 3D rendering is really stylish, and Expose is not only the neatest thing you'll ever see, once you get used to it, it's hard to live without it.

Call me a hypocrite, but I'm another Mac convert to add to the list.

Strengths: super fast exceptional graphics rendering... this is a dream machine!!! TEN MILLION stars!!!!
Weaknesses: make sure you get the "pro mouse and key board "because the stock one that ships with the G5 is slow...
Summary: previously I used a G4 and it is a very nice piece of equipment... however, this Machine "G5" is

in a completely different class..the speed in which it loads heavy programs is staggering...and the flat screen 20" inch apple display is also "awesome"...this system is worth every penny..once you try it you can't live with out it.Frankly it's hard to believe this even exists...
