iMac, G3, But No G4? Gee… | Asiaweek
China’s request for Apple’s new ‘supercomputer’ is in the mail.
If any group on earth deserves to get their hands on the new Apple Power Mac G4, it should certainly be Chinese-language newspaper designers. Thumbing through Hong Kong’s Apple (no relation) Daily and The Sun newspapers, one is constantly astounded by the computer-graphics muscle applied to these garishly colorful, font-frenzied publications. And the G4, in keeping with Apple’s strategy of targeting its top-of-the-line machines at computer graphics professionals, looks to be a Great Leap Forward for Hong Kong newsies. Apple claims it can run Adobe Photoshop, that essential desktop publishing application, at twice the speed of the fastest Pentium PC’s.
