Hackintosh

[Brettles1986]

Anyone here running Mac OS on an Intel or AMD chipset laptop that came bundled with a Windows OS?

Looking for opinions on reliability etc

I've ran it pretty well on a netbook for a year or so.

Check out Lifehackers guide (it's updated regularly) the biggest problem you will come across is getting sleep mode to work but it is sorted easily if you have the right distro ad hardware.

My brother hgad tryouts with Lion on his PC. To be honest if you fancy changing the OS on a laptop you're better off with Linux.

I've just virtual machined it for now, I've tried Ubuntu in the past and tbh I didn't really like it. I think I may have to reside myself to the fact that I need to buy a macbook air next year.

Tonymac was always the best place for me, had it running on my PC for years, Leopard, Snow then Lion. Never bothered with Windows as it's utter shit.. Had a hackintosh until I could afford a real Mac!

I did it on loads of things you need to get the spec to what the macosx guys tell you to otherwise it just wont work.

I have a dell 10v running hackingtosh netbook if your interested? Runs very very well google it its the best netbook/laptop to run osx.

Its in white also to mimic a mac im not sure on the going rate but could be had for £100.
