Mebster Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 JCMA90 stop being a {censored} head. Or at the least try and be a little less stupid. Can you do that? xeniczone you aren't that much better. At least the other guy was a little original. You're just sad. Both of you. This thread could have potential benefits to all. So stop messing it up. Good luck Asoulintime1982.

Guest xeniczone Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Again no smartass answers wanted or welcome. Who said it was a smart ass answer f***up. You asked for the best so I gave it to you. You don't have to hack it to make mac run on it. You don't have to worry about f***ed up hardware and you don't have to worry about apple coming down on you for using a illegal version of mac. So dumb ass their is your answer a powerbook is the best to run it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactogo Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 not really sure about being the "best" laptop for osx but everything pretty much works on a dell inspiron 5100 (no QE/CI only). I'd qualify it as a best budget laptop for osx. --also i'd agree with you that a macbook pro is a smart assenine answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayland Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 not really sure about being the "best" laptop for osx but everything pretty much works on a dell inspiron 5100 (no QE/CI only).

greggh Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I was able to get the sound to work by editing the AppleAzalia kext's info.plist and adding in my id. The ATI SB450 based motherboard in mine used realtek hd audio, that driver supports it great. The wireless built in is the intel 2195 so it isnt supported but my new wireless minipci card should be in tomorrow. Its an Atheros card so it should work well.

mega Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 try here http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...0.4.5/Portables a list of what works and what does not if you want a cheap one watch slickdeals.net I have a 1405 that will be here tomorrow they had the cheap Inspiron 1300 for 341 $ last week (intel 900 video) if you buy one dont upgrade wireless, you want the cheap dell wireless 1370 sound does not work on almost all of them, sigmatel chips are not fixed/supported yet You probably want to get one with the intel 950 video, I believe 10.4.6 broke the 900 video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeniczone Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm the retart. wow. Your trying to illegaly run Mac OS X on a Machine that doesn't even support it. And is really out of date. Apple PowerBook is the best laptop to run it on. It is up-to-date runs a intel core duo, and simple to install mac os x on. First you get the disk put it in the drive and hold "c" till it starts the install. No messing with the mess up {censored} of 2 hard drives download this iso fix and bla bla bla {censored}. You asked for the best one I gave it to you. If you really have a problem with that I'm sorry for your stupidity, and if you don't already own a laptop then why are you trying to buy one then try something you don't even know will fully work on it? When you buy a powerbook you know your supporting Apple. Your legally obtaining a Mac OS X cd. You know you can run XP on it using boot camp. And hell you know your getting a great support service not a bunch of geeks on a forums trying to help you do something not really even worth while. So I guess your the real {censored} head here. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebO...nclm=MacBookPro Might do you some good to look at that link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james2mart Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 wow. He wants a cheap x86 or x86_64 processor. he wants a PC laptop. We all know that MBPs and PBs are the best to run OSX on, but thats not what hes looking for. w3 b3 c1v1l1zed pp1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
