Now the question is: Is there any prob with this laptop to run MacOS? 'cos i've been researching and i dont find any topic or anything about this latop that says that i cannot install MacOS on this unit, i went to the wiki of OSX86 to look at the compatibility list and i did not find this unit in the list, and as such idk if it'll b a good investment or not, so pls can any of u tell me something about this unit?

See what chipset it is and compare to other notebooks. Off the bat, wireless won't work, yet, graphics and sound should be okay. I'm guessing sound will be ALC883, or something like that.
