Hey guys,
Sorry, it's been a while since my first 2 posts.
I'm just pointing out today that I will also be posting stuff about Intel Macs, my family owns a Intel Mac 27inches and my sister owns a brand new MacBook Pro with Retina display. My mom's main computer is a HP Pavillion Elite (I barely ever used it after our iMac arrived). Now that leaves me, I own a eMachines Desktop (very low end from 2006) and I also own a iBook G4 12 inch model from 2005 with 768mbs of RAM.
I am not a big fan of Intel, it's fast, but it's like Apple said to Microsoft in 2006 : We are gonna switch to your processors now. But on the other hand, Intel can run windows software now, maybe someday macs can run windows software and windows can run mac software.
Right now, I'm very happy with my iBook G4 (I was a little disappointing when I didn't consider getting a PowerBook G4) . My friend has a MacBook Pro with Core i5, he's already bragging out how he can play big games and all of those modern bull****. But one day, he wanted to play Battlefield 1942 on his mac. Man I was happy that day :) that is only one of the reasons why I prefer PowerPC macs.
Anyways, PowerPC replaced Motorola processors in the mid 90s. Apple used PowerPC while Windows used Intel. Eventually IBM (PowerPC producer) couldn't advance in PowerPC technology, then Apple transferred to Intel core.
During the golden PowerPC era, several new computers were produced, they were in 3 different lines. 1. Laptops, PowerBooks and iBooks were in this line, iBooks were introduced later then Powerbooks, both were top class laptops. Powerbooks were higher end laptops while iBooks were more for the middle class.
2. Desktops, iMacs were the main desktops, these included the G3s G4s and G5s, they were very stylish. They looked great, they were powerful, the operating system was unique, the only flaw was that it was a bit expensive.
3. Find the other parts! The Mac Mini and The Mac Pro were computers without screens, you had to buy them. Both computers were just as powerful as a regular mac, they were also very small, a big change from those bulky PC's.
Well this is just a short look at the PowerPC processor, there is much more to it then just this (I'm a bit lazy to type more right now).
Have a good day, I'll keep you busy ;)
