Dell Mini 10V running OSX
For about $300, you can get a reasonably speedy MAC clone!

That's cool! How did you get it to run OSX?

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Cool, Than! :tu

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

That looks very nice, my friend.

Oh, BTW, it is actually a new toy ON WHICH TO FOLLOW CA - or google Strunk and White. :ss

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Pretty cool! Did you install OSX? How's the compatibility working? Thinking about going tri-boot with Vista, Ubuntu, OSX.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

i never sed my engrish was perfect.

I am loving my Mini 9 (or as I call it the minibook)

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Yep..OSX...and well i was going to dual boot OSX/Windows 7...but I reconsidered since I only use Windows for work.


This sucker is for use around town...maybe for traveling to herfs (if I ever get to go to one again...stupid work/family).


Links here work best for me with OSX and multi-boot

You should consider switching the "ALT" and the Windows key (since the Windows key is command in OS X).




EDIT:

Forgot to add that the Mini 9 is currently on sale for $199.99 and the Vostro A90 is on sale for $229.99!

Well this thread could have saved me ~500$ :r

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

How does it run OSX? Any bugs? I had OSX on my mini9 but took it off due to a few compatibility issues. I love my macbook, but the minimac just wasn't the same.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Now thats cool Than. When I need a new computer, I'll contact you for advice.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Which method did you use to install? Which version of OS X?

Mine is rock solid.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

I don't remember the name of the method, but it was the way www.mydellmini.com said to do back late last winter/early spring. I got two finger scrolling to work, but it was buggy, and the sound would get static at random times.

I'm sure they've improved it since then, but really, for a net book, windows XP works just fine.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

The new Netbook Bootmaker method is a lot better. I actually used the DellEFI method for mine but I just built another one for a friend yesterday and it was much easier. There are a lot of new kexts out too that really help. The only issue I have is the occasional hang on restart after sleep.

I couldn't be happier with my Mini 9 running os x.

I would run Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a Netbook before I ran XP (although I did dual boot OS X and XP for a bit but never really used XP).

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

If I decide to try it again I'll have to PM you to get info on that. My other big holdup was that the SD card reader was buggy as well with OSX. I have no doubt it's gotten better now.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Yes, fell free. All of the bugs that you mentioned were problems that have been solved with recent releases.

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

nice! i got the real mac! but i like that still LOL...

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Have any of you guys upgraded to Snow leopard on those yet?

Re: New toy...to follow CA on!!!
 

Gotta say... very cool, Than!

Been using it at "The Bull and Bear?" :ss
