Home > Power Mac G4 Cube

Apple targeted the Cube at the market between the iMac and the Power Macintosh G4. This diminutive 8"x8"x10" cube housed a PowerPC G4 processor running at 450 or 500 megahertz, and had an unconventional top-loading slot loading DVD-ROM drive. A separate monitor — either digital or VGA — is required for the Cube, in contrast to the all-in-one iMac series. Also unlike the iMacs, it had an upgradable video card in a standard AGP slot. The Cube also featured two FireWire ports, and two USB ports for connecting peripherals. Sound was provided by an external USB amplifier and a pair of Harman Kardon speakers. Although the USB amplifier had a standard mini-plug headphone output, it lacked any audio input. It also used a silent, fanless, convection-based cooling system like the iMacs of the time.

It was popularly perceived as being too expensive, initially priced slightly higher than the cheapest model of the much larger and more expandable Power Mac G4 line, thus leading to slow sales. Additionally, early Cubes suffered from a manufacturing defect that led to faint cracking of the clear plastic case. Apple attempted to increase sales by bundling more software with the cube, lowering the price of the base model, incorporating a CD-RW drive as an option, and offering an improved NVIDIA graphics card as an option. These efforts could not offset the earlier perceptions of reduced value compared to the iMac or Power Mac G4 lines, and the Cube was discontinued from production in July 20012001 : January February March April May June July August September October November December Deaths July 3 Mordecai Richler July 23 Eudora Welty July 31 Poul Anderson Films July 4 Cats and Dogs July 6 Kiss of the Dragon starring Jet Li July 18 Jurassic Pa.

Power setAbstract algebra Algebra Set theory In mathematics, given a set S the power set of S written P ''S or 2''S is the set of all subsets of S''. In formal language, the existence of power set of any set is presupposed by the axiom of power set.
