What's the general feeling about installing Mac OSX on a non-apple computer? Say for example I wanted to put it on a Dell mini 9. According to this site:
http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/1...-compatib.html
and many other guides around the net, the compatibility on that one is great. More or less... what is it you love so much about Apple computers that you would defend their honor to such a religious level or fervor? Is it the OS? The hardware components? The casing? The commercials? The price tag? The shiny Apple sticker? How much of the "Apple experience" would I be missing out on here?
Note: This is not troll bait. I am seriously considering doing this and am curious what the Apple faithful's take is on this. If you've read my post you'll know I'm not against OSX in any way, just against buying overpriced and overpowered, unnecessary hardware. |
I've actually done this. I bought a HP Mini 10" and installed OSX 10.5.8 on it, be cause I prefer OSX to XP. I use it as a netbook, for surfing and emailing. It's awesome, and it only cost me $235.00 for the netbook. I used to have MBP now i have a iMac and a Hackintosh Nano.
