I don't feel the need now based on the cost side of the upgrade, but when they come down in price in 1-2 years I will seriously consider it.įor me with CS4, amongst all the latest universal programs that I need, the G5 is still fantastic for my intermediate computing needs.

Is the performance increase with the pair of SSDs dramatic enough to make a difference for you? I've been looking at this as my final upgrade option for my G5. Using a screen sharing program works brilliant as well - even on a G4.

See if you can catch a cheap Leopard server license on ebay- you will be amazed how much you can do with it! And with one of the new apps, you can live stream every movie on you machine via the iphone to your living room flatscreen with a simple HDMI cable. In 4 years from now, the G5 will still work as great big file server for HD movies, MP3 and stuff like that together with your new mac system. MS Office 2010 will most likely work on binary as well since they want to sell as much as possible, if not the current version still works fine. Do you really need the newest software and would that increase your profit margin? No. Ok, they stop the universal Binary software now, but that really doesn't mean to throw away the G5. CS2 and CS3 still runs perfect on a G5, most of Apple's programs are universal. On the software side, - let's face it: The difference on Snow Leopard to Leopard is not really important. Should you be on the lucky side of it and have the 2,3 dual air cooled, non AGP bus model - keep it at all cost! - (Best G5 ever existed) If you have a liquid cooled model, - sell it as soon as possible! Having said that, with your G5 there are some points to look closer: My machine still works great and I am very satisfied with it. Just a thought.Īs a G4 geek, I sort of have the same "problem".

I'd take the 2008 2.8 Mac Pro over any iMac if a desktop is what you are thinking.
This model from what others have said offered the most value for your money in recent years. To get 8 ram slots for a new machine you have to go up into the much higher priced models until your nose bleeds. I know that if I was going to get a computer now, I'd want to be a little behind the curve to save on the high purchase price of what is currently offered. I still see them offered every once in a while on Apple's site. If you are thinking of a desktop anyways, then this unit might be all the power, expandibility, recent technology that you need. I'd like to offer this suggestion that others can help to support with their thoughts:Ī refurbished 2008 2.8 Mac Pro. However, you mentioned that you might be considering an iMac as a lesser option to keep you going over a shorter period. Others have much better advice about the future of technology trends and what that means for Macs.
