gmcfarla Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Anyone know if I will run into any potential issues running OSX on this laptop? I expect headphones and wireless won't work, as well as the usual cpu = 1, but any other issues that I should be aware of? Specs: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/ho/WF...74-3756148.html Thanks guys/girls.

kennyp Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 OK, looks like you are in the C700 family......good news. Based on the info from HP Audio should work no problem (no headphone, mic, or mic jack) You should be good with chipset, video, touchpad, usb, lan, DVD/CD read/burn If the wifi is Broadcom you are good.......not sure if a fix for the Atheros has been found I think the card reader works, but not sure The unit will NOT need to run cpus=1 (unless HP did something strange on the C776CA Unit does very well using a vanilla kernel. The C700s will sleep and wake fine, but the fan will not return to active state after wake A good thread is here Over all, if you can get a good deal, it's not a bad choice. Good luck Kenny BTW, iATKOS v4i, Kalyway 10.5.4 both work great - JaS 10.5.4, iDeneb 10.5.4 not so good on the C700 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124610-compaq-presario-c776ca-laptop/#findComment-881189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
