I am eagerly looking forward to making OSX work on a pc. I have tried and failed on my HP Quad Core 9180f (tried both VMWARE and Dual Boot), Thinkpad T60p & T61 (Vmware only - networking does not work).

My question is which mainstream laptop (something that is readily available for not too much money) can I buy and have all components work (wireless, video, network, ). I am willing to spend around $500. Please please help me...

I am willing to consider a desktop too....something really inexpensive...I saw a dell 2-core for $248. I have very small desire ...just to see OSX work on a pc (work means - all components...no caveats). Thanks

I had a T60 1951F and I got OS X loaded without much trouble.

I'm going to be in the market for a laptop myself in a couple of weeks and I'm hoping that I can find something at Best Buy (for no more than $800).

Google wasn't very much help with the "T60 1951F"; is that a lenovo?

Try Lenovo t60 site:insanelymac.com in google. Lots of results.

I got mine just before Lenovo changed the laptop to say "Lenovo" on it. Instead it says "IBM ThinkPad".

Dell vostro you can get it for $500 or less and it runs osX perfectly just look at my sig
