Upstart, questionably legal, Psystar is now shipping Mac clones with built-in Blu-ray and NVIDIA 9800GT graphics cards. For those of us with some gray hairs, this might bring back the memory of Power Computing, the Texas-based original Mac clone maker that vexed Apple over and over again back in the 1990’s by releasing computers that out-specced Apple’s own.
Power Computing was also able to utilize technologies like VGA connectors and off the shelf power supplies and cases to sell lower prices than Apple’s own computers. At the same time, they were also able to get the fastest PowerPC chips into the machines months ahead of Apple’s. Therefore, their machines constantly out-performed Apple’s and cost less.
The company never realized their full potential. Unfortunately, they were really a victim of their own success. The conventional wisdom at the time was that half of Power’s customers were new to the Mac platform. The downside of that is that the other half were cannibalizing Apple’s sales. This obviously wasn’t sitting too well with Apple. Was Apple’s hardware team to blame? Was there too much bureaucracy at Apple to beat the streamlined Power Computing cloners? Was Apple R&D not properly being accounted for in the licensing scheme?
