Reviews of the Psystar Open(Q)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast OS X-based computer for less money than comparable alternatives from Apple.
The Bad: Bargain-basement aesthetics; ancient external connectivity options; little room to expand; ever-present risk that Psystar, and your customer service, will cease to exist.
The Bottom Line: If you've heard of Psystar, chances are you know the risks involved with buying its systems. You might also have guessed, correctly, that in this OS X Snow Leopard-based Open(Q) system, Psystar once again shows up Apple in the price-performance department. There's little else to recommend this spare system, but if fast and cheap OS X is what you need, Psystar has you covered, at least for as long as it's still around.
