New Mac Clone Maker 'Quo' To Open Retail Store

Posted by Soulskill on from the attack-of-the-clones dept.

bughunter writes "Cnet is reporting that Mac clone maker Quo Computer plans to open its first retail location, selling Mac clones, on June 1st. To start, Quo will offer three desktop systems: the Life Q, Pro Q, and Max Q. While details of the components are not yet available, founder Rashantha De Silva said they are looking at Apple's system configurations for guidance. Pricing has also not been finalized on the desktop machines, but the company is looking to start pricing at less than $900. While Quo is starting off with the desktop machines, De Silva said it is looking at offering an Apple TV-like media server and a smaller computer similar to the Mac Mini. He acknowledges that Quo will likely face opposition from Apple, much like Psystar. 'They probably will (sue us),' De Silva said. 'There are others doing this, but we have a different attitude. There are thousands of people in the "Hackintosh" market, but many of them are creating bad products. I don't think anyone wins in that environment.'"

    How dare you present a reasonable argument.

    Sir, this is Slashdot, where you must use colloquialisms and willful blindness to advocate an extreme point of view.

    You must surrender your current login/ID and reapply for a new one within 24 hours or CowboyNeal will be making a house call.
