Chimera Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I've decided to get a netbook and I'm trying to decide which is best to run Leopard on. It's really a toss-up between the Acer Aspire One and the MSI Wind. The Acer seems to work almost completely, with the exception of sleep. The Wind runs well with just a few things missing (touchpad scrolling for one) but sleep does work. Since this is going to be used for quick couch-surfing etc sleep is pretty important, but I like the looks and color choices of the Acer more (and it's $50 cheaper). The bigger screen on the wind doesn't really interest me since the res is still 1024 x 600. So, what should I go for....what are the odds that someone will get sleep working on the Aspire One?

oki Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 msi wind is working pretty well with osx86 from what i read (except problems with version 0.3 webcam). the apsire one is a completely different story... and needs lots of work to be done!

Raymo Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have the same question too, but for me candidates are the Acer, MSI Wind, or the Lenovo S10. A netbook for me would just be a secondary machine for trips or the couch so I'm not looking for storage or power. The 10" netbooks interest me more just for a slightly larger keyboard. I almost think I'm leaning towards the S10, but I keep going back and forth on this and can't make up my mind.

I've had it for about a week now, got Leopard on it with no problems (except sleep doesn't work yet). The big plus is the 6 cell battery, which is lasting for a VERY long time, far longer than I had really expected.
