As we are nearing completion of the “tech spec” index on Low End Mac with the release of the final remaining Intel iMac articles, we are looking into revamping existing articles overall. A lot of things have changed over time, much new software has released, community projects developed, etc; and it’s worth reflecting such things for informational accuracy among other reasons. Moreover, we want our existing articles to be as useful and readable as possible for our visitors – so we’re working on reformatting and standardizing informational content on older articles.
Examples of old articles updated/with new formatting so far
- 12″ PowerBook G4/867 MHz
- 17″ PowerBook G4/1 GHz
- Titanium PowerBook G4/867 MHz & 1 GHz (SuperDrive)
- Power Mac G4 Mirrored Drive Doors (May be updated again soon)
- Power Mac G4 FireWire 800 (May be updated again soon)
- Mac mini G4, Early 2005
- 20″ Late 2003 iMac G4/1.25 GHz
- 17″ and 20″ 1.6-1.8 GHz iMac G5 (2004)
- Beige G3/233 & 266 MHz
- Mac mini Core Solo
What You Need To Know
- Installing the updated information and formatting style on the older articles may take some time. If you would like to see our work in progress, click on some of the links in this article above.
- As a result of this focus, the pace of newly minted articles will slow down for a time, but new articles will still be made.
- We will be focusing on adding new, relevant information as well as keeping as similar of a style as possible across all articles, to make it easier to read/on the eyes. Feedback welcome.
- Old articles aren’t being totally rewritten from scratch – existing information will be used too. Sometimes though – an article will contain a lot of new information previously not in the article, and may look totally different!

This is awesome, this has sorely been needed for some time. Hope these refinement bring the site into the current era, especially the mention of out of date parts, such as hard drives.
If you have any feedback or specific things to point out, we welcome it. As many eyes are needed as possible to point everything out! It will be a gradual process. Many longer articles (particularly tech specs) already have much relevant info related to the devices themselves, but need certain things updated to reflect 2025 and beyond! SSD’s are the way to go for sure – not so much HDD’s anymore. This article you commented on may periodically have it’s list of “updated articles” updated, too, as a navigational piece.
