June 1, 2009

This month, EveryMac.com features complete specs (and a handful of Q&As) on the affordable new "stealth" White MacBook and a complete overhaul of the Power Mac G4 Cube Q&A.

Additionally, the "By Year", "By Processor","By Case Type", and "By Capability" Mac specification listings have been updated and the "Ultimate Mac Comparison" has been updated as well.

The latest White MacBook has a faster processor than the entry-level "Aluminum" MacBook and is a particularly good value for price-conscious consumers.

When the Power Mac G4 Cube was introduced many years ago it generally was regarded as beautiful but overpriced. Today, the now inexpensive Power Mac G4 Cube is just as stylish and it still makes a great Mac for a small business or home office on a tight budget.

The largely rewritten Power Mac G4 Cube Q&A covers upgrades, hacks, and more. Everything from "How do you replace or upgrade the hard drive in the Power Mac G4 Cube? Does the Power Mac G4 Cube support 'big drives'?" to "Is it possible to 'hack' the Power Mac G4 Cube to support a different graphics card? Which graphics cards can you install?" is answered in-depth.

In case you missed one, Q&As since the last major update include:

  • What are the differences between the White "Mid-2009" MacBook Core 2 Duo and the "Late 2008/Unibody" MacBook models?
  • What are the differences between the White "Mid-2009" MacBook Core 2 Duo and the White "Early 2009" MacBook that it replaced?

  • Is it possible to "hack" the Power Mac G4 Cube to support a different graphics card? Which graphics cards can you install?
  • What AirPort capabilities are provided by the Power Mac G4 Cube? How do you install an AirPort module? Are third-party options available?
  • How do you replace or upgrade the hard drive in the Power Mac G4 Cube? Does the Power Mac G4 Cube support "big drives"?
  • How do you upgrade the RAM in the Power Mac G4 Cube? How much RAM of what type does the Power Mac G4 Cube support?
  • Can you upgrade the processor in the Power Mac G4 Cube? How is the Power Mac G4 Cube processor mounted?
  • Is there a "hack" to make MacOS X 10.5 "Leopard" run on the Power Mac G4 Cube?
  • Are there any adapters or "hacks" that make it possible to use a second display on a Mac mini G4?
