The death of the CUBE

July 04, 2001

Despite numerous design awards and high praise from Cube aficionados, Apple issued a cryptic press release today announcing the abandonment of further Power Mac G4 Cube production. These 8 inch by 8 inch G4 PowerMacs came in such a small, power saving, quiet (fanless) enclosure that they made great boxes for mac based web servers. Alas, bad marketing and an unrealistic price point compared to the other Macintoshes in their product line contributed to low sales and their demise.

This sucks for siteSatellite as we were just about to place an order for a few of them direct from apple...the cube is noticeably hard to find in stock on any mail order web site after today's press release. Got a used G4 cube you would be willing to part with? Let us know
