PearC to offer Mac clones in Benelux and France

German Mac clone maker PearC announced it has expanded its business into the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) and France. The company explains on its website that they are fans of Mac OS X, but that they don't like Apple's Mac lineup because these systems offer little customization and are way too expensive. Therefore, PearC launched its own line of Mac computers, claiming these systems are fully legal because Apple's EULA is not conform to the European law.

The PearC webshop offers six different base configurations, with the cheapest Starter Line configuration starting at 619EUR. The PearC Starter offers the Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz processor, MSI GeForce 8400GS 256MB graphics card, 2GB DDR2 800MHz, 320GB HDD, DVD burner, and Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6.

For 819EUR you can get a PearC Advanced system with a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz processor, MSI GeForce 8400 GS 512MB graphics card, 4GB DDR2 800MHz memory, 500GB HDD, DVD burner, Lian Li LanCool case and Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6.



The more advanced Professional Line starts at 1429EUR, these systems feature the Intel Core i7 processors. For the full specifications and order options of each system you'll have to check out the PearC webshop.
