you can find anything and everything for sale on the internet, and unfortunately often times the wrong people also know this.

That being so, I've always made it a policy to never buy from a company without an established history of doing business (such as apple, amazon, etc) If they are indeed serious about being able to offer such a product they are off to a poor start reputation wise. I think the ONLY way I would buy one of their machines based on the information I have on them would be if I actually physically saw it in front of me. I doubt very much I'd take a chance on ordering one only to HOPE it showd up 10-12 days later.

I doubt you will ever see a product come from this outfit.

Even if they delivered on their promises, Apple would shut them down before they shipped a single unit (with the Mac OS pre-installed).

Plus the fact that for very little more you can get a Mac Mini that is legal, has iLife, includes a warranty from a reputable firm and has better better specs.

and I've always found apple hardware to be far superior to anything out there and there's a good reason why the "clones" dont do well. They will always ALWAYS be inferior to the real thing.

I think apple is doing the right thing in keeping tight control of their hardware and shutting down the cloners. Thats why their hardware IS superior.

Their clone, once you configure it, doesn't seem to be more cost effective than what Apple is offering,except that it is not an Apple. Why would some one buy a POS when they can have similar performance for a similar price from Apple.

As evidenced by the recent article in Popular Mechanics, which backs up previous reviews that Macs run Vista better than PCs, a computer is more than the sum of it's parts. PC's are often spec'd to look better than a Mac, but those reviews suggested otherwise. Psystar's spec sheet may look like it's just like a Mac using all the same parts (CPU, GPU, memory, etc), but there is just something about how Apple puts it all together that makes for a better computer.

not to mention the computer would need a reinstall everytime you accidentlally updated the sysytem....doesn't sound like a happy computer existence.

The reason Apple killed off clones in the first place is that they did nothing to increase the market share of the Mac platform. People that were going to get a mac were going to get a mac. The clones only gave them a cheaper alternative, costing Apple sales.

This is a scam being run by some punk kids. All this flopping around is a sure sign that they're in over their heads. This will end with a visit from the feds, mark my words.

In the meantime, it will relieve a few incredibly stupid people of several hundred dollars at a whack. I can only imagine that PC users and the newly-born are stupid enough to fall for this, but at least it's a testament to how bad the cheapskate mac wannabes want one ...

ranks right up there with CherryOS & L Computers in the list of things that are most likely complete scams.

I only hope testudo sent them money - in his usual mindlessness he was touting them several days ago. Once again, he is proved a wanker.

Doofuses.
