 蘋果推2.5萬低價Mac

〔記者李宜儒／台北報導〕低價電腦（NetBook）風潮狂襲，一向以造型設計取勝的蘋果電腦（Apple）似乎也抵擋不住，下週二蘋果電腦將展出新款MacBook，其中螢幕大小為十點二吋的新款電腦最低報價僅約八百美元（約新台幣二萬五千六百元），是蘋果首款低於一千美元的產品。

蘋果公司昨天透過電子郵件寄發的邀請函，僅有「焦點轉向筆記型電腦」一句話。不過網路近來已傳得沸沸揚揚，蘋果將嘗試擺脫機器昂貴、售價高不可攀的名聲，推出一款「手頭緊也買得起」的機型。

自從華碩去年推出Eee PC後，全球前十大電腦品牌中，除了蘋果及新力Sony尚未推出相關產品外，包括宏碁推出Aspire One、惠普推出Mini 2133、戴爾推出Inspiron Mini、聯想推出Ideapad S；二線品牌廠動作更是積極，例如微星（MSI）的Wind NB，都讓標榜「第二台個人電腦」的低價電腦市場氣氛相當熱絡。

根據市調機構預測，今年全球筆記型電腦出貨量約一億兩千萬台，其中低價電腦約佔十％；明年將成長到兩千至三千萬台，二○一○年為六千到七千萬台，二○一一年更將上看一億台。

目前各家廠商所推出的低價電腦產品，以華碩機種最多，螢幕規格從七吋到十點二吋都有，其中主力機種八點九吋報價約一萬一千五百到一萬五千元；宏碁主力機種也是八點九吋，平均售價約一萬三千到一萬七千元；微星推出的Wind NB，以十點二吋為主，平均售價約一萬八千元。

PC 真的買太多台了,MAC 高檔總叫人難以親近,聽到MAC 將推低價電腦,真令人喜悅,一旦出來,真要去敗一台回來玩,享受一下MAC平台感覺嚕..

<fw> spurise! Company claims to sell Mac clone for $399

Personal technology enthusiasts yearning for the Mac Experience without the Apple Tax—that huge markup that Mac users pay for off-the-shelf PC hardware with OS X—your days of gnashing teeth may be over. Psystar, a plucky little company from Miami, Florida is, for the moment, selling OpenMac, a Mac clone with Leopard pre-installed for $554. You also get:

• 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
• 250 GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
• 2 GB DDR2 667 RAM
• Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics
• DVD+/-R Optical Drive
• 4 USB ports

For another $110, you can get an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, and for another $50, you can get FireWire too. Even without that, this price seems a little high compared to other OEM PCs sold by mom and pop. I guess we could call the overhead the Apple Legal Defense Fund Tax, because the EULA (PDF) for Leopard makes the legality of this computer seem dubious.

You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so.

Setting aside legalities, the OpenMac supposedly works with Mac-compatible hardware and an EFI emulator. Psystar claims the "OpenMac is a configuration of PC hardware capable of running unmodified OS X Leopard kernels," but the company also says this.

Can I run updates on my OpenMac?

The answer is yes and no. No because there are some updates that are decidedly non-safe. Yes because most updates are not non-safe. It's best to check on InsanelyMac for this information but when in doubt don't update it. You may have to reinstall your OS X if it is a non-safe update.

Well, that's reassuring. So much for a Software Update hack, but it doesn't really matter.  A cheap, upgradeable alternative to a $1999 Mac Pro will never be more than a fantasy among personal technology enthusiasts engaging in endless circular arguments on the Internet. Anyone who wants to build their own Mac and patch OS X to run on it is pretty much free to do so—notwithstanding software updates that trash your Hackintosh. Apple doesn't care about you. You can even talk, circumspectly, about your efforts. But try to take one penny of the dollar a year Steve Jobs makes, and you'll be thinking different without the metaphorical equivalent of the KY.
