The Think Different campaign meant a lot to those who hold Apple near and dear and balked changing things just to fit in. At the time it really felt as if Apple had conceded to be more or less like Windows machines, allowing Windows to run natively on the Mac due to the change in architecture.
The last gasp of notable Macs maintaining the PowerPC chips came around this time or were just discontinued at this time ten years ago, but are still among the favorites for Mac collectors see key feature below each Mac that sets it apart. Additionally, Apple made 2. Oddly, but perhaps most importantly, the 1.
These Macs were the pinnacle of their lines and still can command a premium on eBay and other secondhand markets. During this time, only the Mac Pro was technically more powerful on paper, but even then at least early on , many Mac OS X applications were optimized for PowerPC and not Intel , giving the G5 Quad a significant advantage.
Mac OS X The short and simple answer: both! Yadda yadda. I run my PPC on Using software support as an argument to invalidate older hardware is bogus. How often do you contact Apple for support? How often do you contact developers for support? I know the answer. My OS is not supported by Apple. The hardware itself is not supported by Apple. None of the applications I use are supported by their developers.
But it all, still, works. Waking the system from sleep takes no more than 3 seconds. Dreamweaver CS 4 launches in 10 seconds. Browsing the web is a non-issue. It takes TenFourFox a while to get going from a cold start but once the browser is running and fully loaded, pulling up a new tab and loading a site is no problem.
Graphic designers can get the job done on a PPC. Gamers have more choice of games on PPC than they do on Intel. Web developers can code just as well on a PPC as they can on an Intel. Bloggers can update their blogs on a PPC. Accountants can use office, quicken and other apps on the PPC. If you use a multi-thousand dollar system for entertainment only, you need something fairly recent.
Youtube, social media, reddit, 4chan, discord, whatever other time wasting stuff is out there. These things do not work on a PPC. This does not mean a PPC is useless! Yes, compromises have to be made.
But there are ways around that. The time saved by doing productive work on a PPC completely justifies the additional step of sharing that work from an Intel machine later. Any documents that need to be synced to online services which are not available on my G4 are synced with other apps. You can automate these things. PowerPC is alive and kicking and still offer significant productive value for those that know how to harness it.
There is more to computer usage than youtube and social media but this is a point that is difficult to drive home to most people born after the year as they mostly have no idea what a computer has historically been used for.
