Mac OS X on Mini Laptop

Ivan's picture

I really like the size of these mini laptops, but they all run Windows. Is it possible to put OS X on these machines? How do I go about it?

?

Isn't there an agreement that states Mac OS can ONLY be used on Apple hardware?

That point besides, there's a hack out right? Its not v. reliable, and I think the chip has to be an intel.

What are these mini laptops you speak of?

Do you have any pics?

I would love to see what mini laptops you're referring to. I have never seen them.

There was a similar thread a while back, the consensus was...

Dell Inspiron Mini 9, Now Running OS X Leopard

The first time a mini-notebook is loaded with OS X, like any right of passage, it's a major event. And now the Inspiron Mini 9 has become a man, or at least an honorary Apple fanboy. Loaded with a slipstreamed version of OSX in a manner similar to the MSI Wind, the wireless card, Ethernet and sound didn't work initially but were fixed after the download of a few additional files.

If you've got a Mini 9 you'd like to load OS X onto, hit up the link for, not quite step-by-step instructions, but probably enough to get the job done.
