JustinAiken Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I know it's possible to get Leopard on, but I'm wondering if I want to - Windows on my wife's celeron netbook is insufferably slow... I want to use dropbox on the netbook to sync my iCal, addressbook, and firefox settings with my desktop... that's about all I'll use the netbook for... will that be sufficient speed? Or will it be so slow that I want to throw the thing through the window everytime I click on something?

I did all the normal office/web stuff on it, made some cad-designs,.... Overall, it should be more than fast enough for your needs.

JustinAiken Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks... joined that forum, got it all installed... it's very usable, I'm happy - there's such a night and day difference between the 900-series netbooks with the flash drives and the Atom series books with real HDs...
