Unlike a real Mac, this one is powered by Raspberry Pi and runs RISC OS. One a side note, did you know that RISC OS is actually the first operating system to be developed for an ARM processor? That’s right, Acorn Computers designed the operating system for its Archimedes line of personal computers back in 1987.
