What reviewers say
Reviewers praise performance, expansion access and the extra optical-drive bay. Both find the cooling fans noticeably loud. Macworld warns that some optical drives need modification to fit; Inside Mac Games finds the stock GeForce4 MX limits demanding games and notes scarce multiprocessor game support.

Size and weight detail
Exact maker reference weight 19.1 kg varies with configuration and manufacturing process; height 43.2, width 22.7, depth 46.8 cm. These published dimensions differ slightly from earlier G4 sheets and are retained.
Power supply
100–125 V AC or 200–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz. Maximum current 6.5 A at low voltage or 7.5 A at high voltage; maker publishes no maximum wattage here.
In the box
Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar as default startup system, plus bootable Mac OS 9.2.2; iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes and iDVD for SuperDrive. Maker August 13 release says dual 867/1 GHz available that week, so first sale uses August month precision. Actual dual-1.25 GHz shipping confirmed 18 September. January 2003 FireWire 800 models and June 2003 reissue are separate generations.
