Any suggestions as to a good utltraportable for OS X 86? It would be sweet to be able to take the full version (not just an iPhone) of OS X around in your pocket. Has anyone tried a ThinkPad X61 or an Asus W5Fe-2P025E... just the thought causes me to make involuntary giggling sounds.

I have installed 10.4.8 on my old Panasonic Toughbook CF-W2. It is 2.4lb with a built-in optical. Slow processor (900MHz). Everything worked except PCMCIA and brightness control. Wireless card was originally Intel and was replaced with Broadcom (Dell) card. Dual boot with XP. Not the fastest, but impressed several people.

yes I have as many other user on a X61
run very fast faster than Macbook Pro
only problem is no sound and Sleep
I'm still looking for the correct driver/patches/set up for audio and sleep mode

mac mini

AFAIK Ppl have done it on Asus and Sony UMPC's. Also the ASUS EEE PC might be worth a try.

faster than a macbook pro AND ultraportable... nice! i'm not crazy on the eraser-style pointer, but when someone gets a sound hack for it, i'll probably pick one of these up

You want ultra portable that might work fully, check out Sonys UX series.

Of course, it's only a 1.2 ghz cpu, but it does have sse3.

i just ordered a X61, with T7300 and Intel's turbo memory. I know video will not have full support, but does the wireless(i changed to the IBM A/B/G one) and LAN works? what if i connect it to the ultrabase?
