On June 23, 2003, Apple officially launched its Power Mac G5 computer, which also earned the nickname "cheese grater" for its appearance. At the time, it was the fastest computer that Apple had on offer, and at the same time it was also the fastest 64-bit personal computer. The Power Mac G5 was equipped with a PowerPC G5 CPU from IBM. At the time, it was a huge step forward compared to the slowly but surely aging Power Mac G4. Until the arrival of the Power Mac G5, its predecessor was considered a high-end gem among the computers that came out of Apple's workshop between 1999 and 2002.

The Power Mac G5 was also the first Apple computer in history to be equipped with USB 2.0 ports (the first Apple computer with USB connectivity was the iMac G3, but it was equipped with USB 1.1 ports), as well as the first computer whose interior was designed by Jony Ive. The reign of the Power Mac G5 lasted four years, in August 2006 it was replaced by the Mac Pro. The Power Mac G5 was a fairly good machine, but even it was not without some problems. For example, some models suffered from excessive noise and overheating problems (in response to overheating, Apple eventually introduced the Power Mac G5 with an improved cooling system). However, many ordinary users and experts still remember the Power Mac G5 fondly and consider it a very successful computer. While some scoffed at the Power Mac G5's design, others didn't let it go.
