The big netbook forum question

Postby Joe on Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:54 am

This one is a big one for me but I would like to know if we can speak of OS X and installing it on non mac systems. I've been a member of Eee user forums for a while and theres members on there who have installed os x but can't discuss it which is quite annoying for the people who want to install it.

So I just want to know what's the bottom line on this.

Thanks

They've got it working on a 901 with full hardware support? Thinking about installing OSX?

Yeah I thinking about it, I would upgrade the SSD, You change to wifi card to a dell one for airport to work, sound is almost fully done (See here. I prefer os x to windows for what I use a computer for really, Photoshop, Light video editing, Taking notes and internet.

So seeing as it has been discussed before can I take it that we can talk of OS X on here?

For Photoshop and video editing you wouldn't wanna use a more powerful machine? You can talk about anything under the sun here even weatherguy

For video rendering the Intel Atom would put you to sleep! I've never used Photoshop on a netbook but I think it'd be a nightmare on a 1024 x 600 screen. The toolbars would be half the screen!

I've done video editing, audio creation on mine and photo shop isn't bad at all.

You can't talk about OS X on the other forum, that is odd!

Yeah, if you post about it you get all the ass-lickers wannabe mods saying "You can't talk of this, It's illegal!" :lol: And then they get deleted with no warning yet they have noting on the site that says what you can talk about and what you can't :roll:
