Readers are starting to receive their Power Macintosh G4 Dual 1.42 GHz (FireWire 800), and the reports are rolling in. So far, the strongest compliment for the new machine is its quieter operation - thanks to the new thermal cooling system. Tom Richard writes:
"Well, I just picked up my dual 1.42 GHz Power Mac from the AppleStore (I was the first customer to buy one as they just came in today--Saturday), and I have to stay I am incredibly impressed. Much quieter than my old Dual 1 GHz system."
"I have to say that this baby is fast, the new white keyboard is as smooth as silk, and the responsiveness is the quickest I've seen. I can't stress enough how quiet this unit is. I barely even know it's on."
The Apple Store now lists the estimated shipping lead time for the Power Macintosh G4 Dual 1.42 GHz stock/base configuration at 7-10 days. The build-to-order units are now listed at 2-3 weeks.
