Power Mac G5: Is It Worth It?

I made this video due to a common question I kept getting asked, which was “Is whether or not the Power Mac G5 is worth the cash or not.”  Now I asked myself this same question when I first considered buying this beautiful machine for the first time. After using the Power Mac G5 for almost a year, I can finally say I can answer this question for sure this time. Although there are some pros and cons, one out-weighs the other in this case.

I hope I answered some of the questions that are commonly asked about the Power Mac G5, and I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and if you want to stay up to date on new upcoming videos, then subscribe!

What is the power mac G5? Well it was a top of the line computer back in its day. Using a 64-bit power processor (which has been discontinued and switched with a Intel processor) there was no limitations on what you could do! But seeing as this in a six year old computer, there are now limitations for what you can do. Would I recommend this computer to you? Yes and no. I will be doing a weekly usage to see if it is something you would get your money’s worth. So I will be able to answer that question shortly.

So far, I was able to install adobe creative suite and get everything to work. I wasn't too sure if CS5 would work, so I installed CS3. Everything runs amazingly smooth; however safari keeps closing on YouTube’s main page. But if I go to a channel, everything works out. All in all, I do recommend this computer, however it is considerably cheap (being an old computer) but you can find these computers on eBay for a couple hundred dollars. Some come with Leopard, some do not.
