Haven't people tried this before and Apple shut them down for infringement?

Yes. Psystar tried this shit 8 years ago, and lasted all of 18 months: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psystar_Corporation

Edit: did some digging on what they're actually aiming to sell.

Also, regardless of their copyright/ip infractions against Apple, their marketing staff are taking pretty decent liberties:

> Looks like a Mac. Feels like a Mac.

From the images shown, it's a HP EliteBook 14". So, it's vaguely silver coloured.

From the FAQ:

> It's a like-new refurbished HP EliteBook

Given that, and matching the specs against what I can find online, it appears to be an 8460p, which from what I can tell, is at least 4 years old.

Power Computing did it legally 20 years ago, licensing Mac OS, and Apple shut them down too:

That could hardly be more different than TFA and Psystar though, it was the official clone program which Jobs terminated, and Apple did not PCC down in the Psystar sense of legally killing them, it bought them out.

Especially since they're using Apple's trademarks ("A fully-functional Mac"). These folks don't have a snowball's chance in hell.

Looks like HP might have something to say as well.

They're refurbished HP EliteBook's - the HP badging is legit.
