This update of EveryMac.com features new iPad Q&As to cover additional iPad details, a comprehensive overhaul of the Power Mac G3 Q&A, and new and dramatically improved search functionality. More serial numbers have been added to the Ultimate Mac Lookup as well.

Largely for those interested in maintaining one for "legacy" use, the Power Mac G3 Q&A has been completely overhauled to answer "How do you replace or upgrade the optical drive in the Power Mac G3 models? Can these Macs support DVD-R?" and "How can you visually differentiate between a Revision 1 and 2 'Blue & White' Power Mac G3 model?" along with many other questions about these vintage Macs.

EveryMac.com's all new search functionality is powered by Google and results are much more accurate and comprehensive than before. Give it a try!

In addition, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional serial numbers. If you haven't already, lookup your Mac, iPod, and iPhone by their serial numbers. If your serial number isn't included, please send it in. Thank you.

How does the iPad compare to the MacBook and MacBook Air? Which one is right for my needs?
