- tushar-r 10y agoIIRC there was anther company doing this a few years back. Think they got shutdown by apple, but I cant remember the name. I think the company name started with P and was based in South America.

- delinka 10y agoThey weren't just making hardware. Psystar was pre-installing OS X. That's what got them into trouble.
- delinka 10y agoThey've been aggressive about going after companies attempting to resell OS X. I doubt they could legally challenge building and selling hardware capable of running OS X. I don't see anything indicating that they're providing Apple's OS with these computers.
- achairapart 10y agoMaybe they just have a few refurbished HP laptops and hope to sell them before Apple will notice a thing.
