I was not speaking to its legality. I saw nowhere on their website that actually advertising something that Apple would find that would violate their SLA. As many of us have said before EFI booting is not enough.Nope, the EFI-X v1.1 with the latest firmware supports Snow Leopard (http://forum.efi-x.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=4564).
I am not sure how the device being "external" or "internal" matters in terms of its legality.. The device emulates EFI, and tricks MacOS into thinking it's booting off Apple's hardware.
Their website was practically unusable for me anyway - I couldn't get anything useful from them which is why I had to go to other sources.
That's nothing but posturing on their behalf. They say these things to create an illusion that the purpose of their product is something beyond "Hackintoshing". Obviously hoping this will keep them under the radar of Apple's legal. However, every single customer who purchased their product did so with a sole purpose of building Hackintosh.
I can sell bolt cutters legally as long as I do not encourage people to use them to commit burglary. It matters not if the customers use them for burglary purposes - its intent of the product maker.
I can say this, if their CEO is posturing and its found that he lied, thatn the hurt is going to be much worse.
If their website demonstrates way to bypass Apple's SMC check (if that indeed is what Apple solely looks for), then Apple can go after them. It takes a long while to go after companies like this and Apple probbaly wants to kill Psystar first that go after these guys. I don't know. What Apple Legal does is their own decision making and is no indication that they endorse this product (I am guessing the answer is no) nor does the absence of a lawsuit prove anything regarding illegality.
Again, you need to look more closely and read their support forums (you need to register on their website to be able to do that). As I said, they don't want to make their real purpose for existence too obvious, but if you dig a bit deeper - making a Hackintosh is the only reason for their product.
I have no real interest in giving them any of my information if there is any risk of a lawsuit given their questionable activity. Sorry, I don;t trust them enough to do that so I will have to take you at your will.
The only conclusion that we can draw is that they are just another commercialized effort to allegedly provide and promote hackintoshing that has yet to be sued by Apple Legal. I would rather wait and see an official comment from Apple on this matter (like from a court house), before we can draw any conclusions about its legality or non legality.
