Mac Clones Sold For $399! Will Apple Strike Back?
Mac Clones Sold For $399! Will Apple Strike Back?
For as little as $399, a Miami-based company called Psystar offers shoppers the OpenMac computer, which runs the OS X Leopard. The smaller, cheaper version of Apple’s Mac Pro, which has a $2000 retail price, is powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, has 2GB of DDR2 667 memory, Integrated Intel GMA 950 Graphics, 20x DVD+/-R Drive, 4 USB Ports and 250 GB 7200 RPM Drive, Macworld reported.
What is the problem with this? The answer is simple: Apple’s license for Leopard or any other version of Mac OS X only includes Apple hardware, which means Psystar breaks the Leopard end-user license agreement (EULA), which prohibits the installation of the software on third party hardware.
