The big Apple
Grandly billed as “the world’s fastest personal computer”, the Power Mac G5 also breaks the 4 gigabyte barrier, allowing users to access up to 8 gigabytes of main memory. The new G5 processor – available at speeds up to dual 2GHz with a new ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture – makes Mac’s boast a reality. Models available for as low as CZK 60,000.

A better book

Weighing in at a very light 1.7 kg, the unit is designed to be carried nearly anywhere a signal can be received, keeping users attached to offices and networks without binding them with wires. Available for a retail price of CZK 48,880.
