PowerMac G5's Arriving...

[MacRumors]

MacBidouille reports that PowerMac G5s should start arriving in France later this week and MacWorld.co.uk claims as early as tomorrow for UK readers.

We've received our first report of a California-based user acquiring a PowerMac G5 1.6GHz yesterday. We're still awaiting photos and benchmark reports.

We will try to provide cumulative reports on PowerMac reports and performance on MacRumors as they accumulate, but individual links and photos will be posted in real-time to MacBytes.com as they come in.

Good to see the first of the G5's finally making it to the people who preordered them.

Anyone here on Macrumors received their 1.6 or 1.8 ghz G5 yet? I'm itchin to see some benchmarks!

Here's hoping my dual 2 G5 will get to me ASAP...I'm going off to college this friday!

I hope so too dtheyl.

A G5 in the dorm would be just too sweet! Talk about switchers all over the place, you'll have your friends drooling in no time!

Carlsbad, eh? I'm from Odessa, not too far away. I enjoy your caverns...

I could say something to that, but I'll be good...

I'd be open to pre-ordering the revised 17" PowerBook, even before they announce the stats.

sounds like it's the regular keyboard that's coming with the eMacs.

Keyboard

Shipping the G5 with the Emac keyboard would be like shipping a Ferrari with
wheels from a ford.

Honestly, i couldn't care less what kind of keyboard it comes with. I'd be happy to use my orange imac keyboard with the thing as long as I have it sitting in my office. What a bunch of babies!

 

[adamfilip]

i dont think the emac keyboard is that bad..
its basicly the same.. just not adjustable.

k so anyways.. this person who got their G5.. where are the pics the benchmarks.. common show me the G5!

 

[Powerbook G5]

Very true, if I wanted a sweet keyboard/mouse combo to go with it, I'd buy one from a 3rd party to go with it. The point is, the G5 is a great computer and a keyboard can always be swapped out.

Guy on the thinksecret boards says there are 1.6 & 1.8 at the Stanford University bookstore. Has a pic of the boxes in the storage room.

Think secret board

[adamfilip]

Someone submitted this image link:

 

[adamfilip]

COOL that looks like the 1.6.. i cant see 8 memory slots

 

[adamfilip]

interesting.. it looks like the 4 memory slots are seperated in two pairs of two.. not in just one bunch of 4

Any keyboard/mouse pics?

 

[sososowhat]

WALK IN & BUY THEM!!

I just called the Stanford Bookstore, and they said they got 50-60 1.6 & 1.8's in and, get this:

THEY'RE NOT PRE-SOLD. WALK IN & BUY ONE.
650-329-1217.

 

[adamfilip]

its already been said that the keyboard and mouse are the same that is shipping with the emac..
