Well, I think after a few weeks of deliberation on which laptop I wanted to drop $1k or so for that would fit my needs/desires for work and play I have come down to picking up the ASUS G51vx laptop which you can see at the link below:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1218092150636 I could not find any information on this laptop or the gtx 260m chipset for that matter in the forums, so was just curious if anyone has tried any osx86 installations on this model yet. I found a thread for the G50vt, which I assume is probably similar enough to be helpful but would definitely love to see if anyone has had a successful installation on this laptop... or unsucessful for that matter. I have done a lot of playing in different desktop configurations over the last couple years and currently running Kalyway 10.5.2 on my desktop. But I am really hoping to get a nice stable install on a laptop as well, especially considering 15% restocking fees if you want to return an open laptop. Anyways, any help or suggestions would be appreciated thx. |
