Think Inside The Cube

The Sunday Age

Sunday August 6, 2000

Never mind thinking outside the square. Apple has gone inside the cube for its latest technological wonder. The G4 Cube is a super computer capable of a staggering three billion calculations per second. It plays DVD movies too. In a triumph of form and function, the brain - called the Velocity Engine - is packed into a 20cm graphite-colored cube suspended in a clear acrylic housing that does away with the need for a noisy cooling fan for near-silent operation. It's less than a quarter of the size of its predecessor, the G4, and it has matching accessories. From $3495 via www.apple.com.au
