Good Points

The plug and play aspect of the G5 is just sensational. Not to mention the aesthetics (not just the hardware but the operating system as well. In fact every aspect of the Mac Pro is beautiful).

Bad Points

None that come to mind, other than the heavy price tag. However this baby is built to last.

General Comments

once you go Mac, you never go back. cheesy but true. No more endless file directories or 'patches to download every other day. If you buy an upgrade or piece of hardware that is apple, you dot spend half a day just trying to calibrate the two. I don't think my G5 has crashed on me once, had it 10-12months now.
