SniperDaws Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 ok ive come across this while browsing for a cheap laptop, could 1 of the experts on here just have a quick look here http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw...ormationSection and click view full product info and let me know if there is anything that would prevent me from installing Leopard on it.

neogen Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 hi i have an advent 7208 and had no problems installing iatkos. Looking at those specs then it should run mac ok, however i would look at the graphics card. UMA graphics, now on mine its the 3100 card which worked fine for me otb. However looking at the wireless then you may have to get an USB one, the same as i had too, cos the onboard one is just no go. So personally i think mac should go on that. Have a look around the forums, but for that money its worth a try, i think you will get it on there. Good Luck Regards Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124535-id-like-to-buy-this-laptop-but-checking-first/#findComment-880928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinchennn Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 i dont thing anything would prevent the INSTALLATION from working , but you probably have to find some drivers to make your hardware work.

Definatly, however most distros now include drivers for Intel onboard. And the wireless is for sure lol Worth a shot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124535-id-like-to-buy-this-laptop-but-checking-first/#findComment-880934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
