OK, I just got back from the Mall of America Apple Store. G5's are nice.
BUT, I was playing around with the 1.8 GHz model (they didn't have a dual 2GHz on display). And I was testing the user interface, like moving windows around (just fine, akin to my G4 450) and resizing windows. This is what makes me mad... there is a slight lag! I'm well aware of it on my own computer, and am used to it. But I expected that type of thing to be pretty much done away with on the high-end machines.
For an idea of what I'm talking about, I was dragging the corner across the screen, and the actual corner trailed my cursor by about 1/4".
So why can you resize an Internet Explorer window full of content and have it scale nicely, and yet the G5, which runs our beloved OS X, still laaaaaggs?
The display that the G5 was hooked up to was a 23" HD Cinema Display.
