What you guys think about using an imac G5 for live gigs. It's cheaper and seems fairly portable.

it is quite heavy
compared to a powerbook it lacks firewire 800 it does have a 7200rpm SATA drive which is better lacks gigabyte ethernet. depends on what your needs are for live use i suppose. a few more details about what you want/expect out of the unit would be good to know. But to me the size weight issue are the main things I'd look into. |

Bulkier but not to the extent of being not transportable.
Power ! Enough connectivity (FW 400 is enough for live use) A known guy doing live on the FR forum, rat47, found it ok (tested), his only concern was the mouse wasn't responding on the spot, no problem with a third party mouse. Maybe it's a concern with the USB ports. So why not. More stylish than a laptop
