The Cheaper Mac Clones

Were you wondering also when you can afford a Mac computer? It’s quite possible now with the inexpensive version of a Mac, a Psystar Mac Clone.

Is is legal? Let’s see how Mac top brass would handle it. Remember that 11 years ago, CEO Steve Jobs banished the first Mac clones and nothing followed since then. Now, Psystar suddenly appeared on the tech scene and began selling a white box PC that comes with Apple’s Mac OS X operating system pre-installed.

These Mac clones are called Open Computer and comes with a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR2 memory, integrated Intel 950 graphics, and a 250GB 7200RPM drive. Psystar claim that it has achieved Mac OS X compatibility in its Open Computer by using an EFI emulator based on OSx86 software.

How cheap these clones are? The Open Computer costs $399 without an operating system. It can also be ordered with Apple’s Leopard operating system pre-installed for an additional $155. (see the Psystar Web site for more info). That’s quite a savings compared to the lowest-cost Mac which starts at $599.

Now, what would you get?
