How do older Macs compare to new models as far as speed, etc.?
One of the things we love about being PowerMax is that, unlike those companies who only sell the latest models, we can talk frankly about these kinds of issues. The computer industry understandably pushes the latest models because the manufacturers only really make money when you buy a new computer. But the truth is, there are plenty of happy G3, G4, G5 and older Intel-based Mac owners out there. We use hundreds of Macs in-house, and they’re all used (because of course the second you turn on any computer it becomes “used” in any case), and most of them are older models. There are times when buying a brand new Mac makes sense because you’re using cutting-edge software with large demands on the processor, or you’re just more comfortable with that, or it has a specific feature you need. But the improvements in speed as new models are introduced are only incremental. As an example, the writer of this FAQ has a G5 at home and works on a Mac Pro at work… and really sees no difference in spee
