Time for Apple to license its OS to other manufacturers again

Power Computing Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Remember when Power Computing was selling more powerful Mac clones at a lower price than anything Apple had to offer?



Given the current offerings from Apple, those days should return. Retina MacBooks should not be called Pro models. MacBooks have the edge on battery life, otherwise gaming computers laptops like Alienware blow them away in performance and have a coolness about them the Macbook does not come close to.



Workstation laptops like the Dell Precision series Dell Precision M6800 Workstation Details | Dell and companies like Sager Sager Custom Laptops have options and configurations that the Macbook Retina does not come close to. A Pro model should have real Pro graphics cards in it, not an outdated gaming video card.



The Macbook Pro has its place in the market, but no configuration that I am interested in. I want a real workhorse, and a non reflective bigger screen, and real expandability. How about an Intel Pismo? I have no interest in a garbage can clone that calls itself a Pro model. Give me a tower please.



If other companies have the opportunity to take this on, hopefully they can make their equipment boot OS X 10.6 and have drivers for current hardware. Then we don't have to get stuck with OS X that gets worse with each new version. Or come out with their own modifications to the OS.



Since Apple went Intel and became windows bootable I have ignored the world of windows and the hardware available for it. I just took it for granted that Apple was offering the best of the best. The last few years I have been waiting putting off upgrading my Apple hardware, because I did not want to have to use OS X 10.8 or 10.9. Given what a troublesome lemon Yosemite 10.10 is, how Apples once very good apps also just get worse and worse, and how much better the PC hardware and software selection is, why stay with Apple anymore?
