Hi guys!
I'd like to buy a netbook in order to use it with MAC OS X...
I read that the msi U100 is fully compatible with MAC OS X, isn't it?
What about the Samsung NC10? I read that there are some guys that are working hard to install Leopard on the NC10 but I don't understand what really doesn't work on it an if it will be managed sooner or later... for instance: the LAN incompatibility will be fixed or this is an HD problem that will never works?

At the end... what do you consider the best netbook to use only with Leopard? MSI U100 or Samsung NC10?



Many thanks, and sorry about my Eng.! wink.gif

I personally have the wind and it is 95% compatible.You need a new wifi card and suggest 2gb ram upgrade.Webcam works after 10.5.5 updates and quicktime updates.Its one of the few that have the card reader working.The graphics work at 1024 x 600 after installing 950 kexts.I suggest kamikaze's package and a retail install.Sound partially works(no headphones/mic) just speakers.Bluetooth works well once I learned to hold down the fn key and cycle through the wifi/bt f key function to enable either or option.

Ok what you lose with all of these netbooks so far is the limited resolution stops certain programs from running.I wish they had a 1280 x 768 screen.
But, for what a netbook is really for, it does what we want.They are for internet, email, basic editing and mutimedia.If you want a decent mutimedia experience, then get ( Plex ).It is basically xbmc for mac.It has a slick interface and with 2gb ram and a cache bump can run 720p .mkv pretty well.
Apple trailors still stutter though.Anyone with a Wind or mac should check it out.

Another cool thing was that I got from the Sprint store was a bluetooth ipod access. adapter.Attach to your favorite ipod speakers(one that can charge ur ipod) and wirelessly send sound to it from your wind.It works great! ohmy.gif
