MacUser Magazine's review says the 7300 "offers the most satisfying improvement" of the new machines introduced in early 1997 due to a significant performance jump from its predecessors, as well as offering 50% faster CD-ROM and hard disk space.
The 7300 was replaced by the Power Macintosh G3 desktop model in November 1997. The Workgroup Server 7350 continued to be sold until March 1998 when the Macintosh Server G3 was introduced.
