| Nobody likes the G3 all-in-one | |
| Posted by: SuperToaster on 2014-10-29 07:22:05 How much does the Lisa weigh? I know the eMac weighs 50 and the G3 AIO is about 60... | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2014-10-29 07:31:33 I would love to get my hands on the MoBo drawer/guts of one for a re-case hack. | |
Posted by: snuci on 2014-10-29 09:20:42How much does the Lisa weigh? I know the eMac weighs 50 and the G3 AIO is about 60...Looks like the Lisa is a svelt 48 lbs. The same site shows the eMac at 50lbs. I wonder if they counted the Lisa external Profile hard drive? That would add another 10 lbs at least 🙂 | |

| Posted by: unity on 2014-11-02 16:20:48 I like mine. Never turned it on yet, too many Macs on the backlog. | |
| Posted by: TheWhiteFalcon on 2014-11-02 16:22:47 It might be humorous to use an LC as a stand for one. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2014-11-02 19:03:13 Looks like Jobba the BananaPC. | |
| Posted by: eraser on 2014-11-02 19:26:55 The all-in-one Macs are generally my favorites but the G3 AIO is one I just never could appreciate. Some of them, like the TAM grew on me over time and the one in my collection certainly gets a lot of "what is that?!" reactions from people who are not so computer-savvy. The fact that the G3 AIO was only available to the education market was a clear sign that Apple knew it was homely. I personally don't like the look of the Flower Power iMac either but I do actually have one in my collection because it is such an interesting and bold design. If it weren't so massive I'm sure I would get my hands on one just because it is a curiosity in the Mac timeline. The size and weight are just enough to kill any possible interest I have in owning one. And yes, it does look a lot like Gossamer from Looney Tunes. The two odd "bumps" on the top seal the deal. | |
| Posted by: TheWhiteFalcon on 2014-11-02 19:31:00 Yep, the size is crazy. I did some measurements and realized it would barely fit on my desk from a depth standpoint. That's what's keeping me from getting a G3 iMac as well, I just don't want the size to haul around for something relatively common. Rare things are worth the hassle. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2014-11-02 19:50:51 I'm trying to recall where I've seen the eyes and mouth in that "Mon Dieu" piccie? Come to think of it, the G3 AIO is the only CRT AIO I can think of with the display set at an ergonomically correct height. The CC's is closer, but you have to squint to see it, might as well have been a 9" Periscope for all that difference. | |

Posted by: Quadraman on 2014-11-04 11:09:06How much does the Lisa weigh? I know the eMac weighs 50 and the G3 AIO is about 60...The Lisa is a much higher value machine than a G3 AIO so you can afford to pay $100+ for shipping and still keep the price within reasonable limits. Lisa's also appreciate faster than G3 AIO's so you'll get back that shipping charge when you resell. | |
