Based on many reviews found online. The Psystar OpenComputer running MacOSX isn’t any special. Its just a regular Hakintosh sold in retail. Based on the spec it could run faster if Code was optimized to run it. However since its a hackintosh it wont. Its probably illegal based on Apple’s EULA. Apple may sue or just push a OSX 10.5.3 update on Leopard to render this Psystar Open Computer useless.

My advise to all. If you want a true Apple experience. Do yourself a favor and buy a Macintosh instead. Hackintosh is fun for a hobbyist who are simply curious. But if you want a Hackintosh to be your main computer to do work. I advise you not since it would never run reliably. As a regular macintosh would.

As for those who says Apple computers is expensive and doesnt like to pay a premium. Then don’t, just keep using your regular windows or linux. There is a saying that for any product “You pay more for Quality.”

I read from Engadget that Apple is trying to close them down. Maybe their website being down already means they succeeded.

Is this illegal, a violation to Apple’s exclusivity stupid rule?

I hope Psystar is not a fly by night company.

Finally!

But do we really have to call it “MacClone”? I mean, why not something similar to “IBM-PC Compatible” classic :p But well, it is after all just a “clone”…

Quoting:

The concept is an interesting possibility, and will certainly draw the attention of Apple. The use of Leopard on non Apple-branded hardware is a violation of its End User License Agreement (EULA) and is specifically prohibited.
