CUPERTINO, CA—Bringing to an end weeks of fevered anticipation, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced plans Monday to sell a Power Mac G4 for $120 that can still run Photoshop CS without a hitch. “Today, Apple is proud to announce the sale of a really phenomenal personal computer featuring a 350 MHz processor, 64 MB of ram, and a fully functioning zip drive bay—all for only $120,” said Cook, adding that Apple would listen to any other competitive offers for the 2002 desktop, which comes in a sleek Graphite case with only a few cosmetic nicks and scratches. “You can even use QuarkXPress for doing print layouts, if that’s something you need. Sure, it takes a few extra minutes to boot up and you aren’t going to be running the latest and greatest software, but once you get Myth: The Fallen Lords up and running, you won’t even care. Especially when you hear the sound coming out of the built-in mono speaker. Did I mention it comes bundled with an optical mouse?” Cook concluded by adding that interested parties could contact him personally at Tim.Cook@apple.com with a subject line mentioning the Power Mac G4.

benjedwards But the proprietary power cord to power it will cost $1,000 and the the G4 version monitor stand will also cost $1,000. For a company that prided itself on NOT being IBM, its now 1,000 times WORSE than IBM ever was.

Tim Apple does good again. Great deal TA.

Finally I been holdin out

I remember my first Apple. 🍎

VHS 85 bj, , m ze xb gx c z x,

Kinda think I’d buy it

Not going over $100 unless it has the mirrored drive doors.

But it will still be an apple.

Cc benjedwards

With a $12,000 keyboard and a $3,000 mouse.

mgsiegler Sold! Finally something affordable that I can use a base to upgrade. lol — Apple is drunk on money and luxury design. They priced out a huge swath of non VFX shop pro’s just with the entry price of the nMP

That’s how much I paid for the secondhand AMD graphics card to run Mojave on a Hackintosh.

Apple wouldn't even sell you a piece of gum for under $400.

Sent an email, sadly the inbox is already completely filled. I will go ahead and send a dm on twitter

How much for the monitor stand?

Actullally G4s were used by Walter Murch to edit Cold Mountain. He won an oscar for it. The G4 is still good for retrogaming.

You know you want one mhryvnak.

And it's portable! Comes with a snazzy 2-wheel dolly...with an Apple logo!

This would actually be very sensible for consumers since it still does what it needs to do and probably fills all the needs of many people - BUT planned obsolescence rules.

Hey that would make a pretty good media server.

Why would anyone pay that much?

🤣😭

Lol.

$120k and you're real news.

Courage!

They are worthless,you couldn't give them away.

My 1999 Sawtooth G4 is still operating (past 10 years as a music server). Upgraded graphics card, processors, disk drive. I hate to throw anything away that still works.

Onion, what you do to my heart 💔

I still have mine sitting under a desk. Even has a Zip drive.

brianjoralvarez 👀😂 MKBHD

I'd buy it again.

How can i be a contributor to The onion?.

I’ve got one I’ll let go for $100.

ben42m 😂

Price sold separately

Nice new portable. Did ya see the wheels?!

$1120*

PM'd

Hey, there's no zip drive bay! I demand a refund.

You missed a couple of zeros.

Pfft... My IBM Aptiva is superior to this in everyway.

480 easy monthly payments of $120

Geez, that thing's huge!

It's enormous!!!

I'll take 10. Thanks!

Don’t tempt them
