I hope the members here could provide me suggestions about this laptop. I am planning to get this Dell Vostro 3500 to install original MacOSX inside using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

Anyone test one out with OSX yet? Thinking about this myself... dont care too much about power management and brightness since the screen is Anti-glare anyways... but for Wifi, any card recommendations? And can anyone confirm that all is actually well and working?

Well I didn't buy the Vostro. I end up buying a real MacBook Pro version 5.1

 

So could not give you the answer.
