^GoJo^ Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hello, I'll buy a laptop soon and i want it to be fully compatible with OSX86 if possbible. It must be powerfull, Core2Duo, 4Go DDR... Wireless more important than Ethernet. Any laptop like this does exist? Please don't tell me to search, i did! Thanks in advance.

xieandy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........................... i doubt many would reply to this, since no one is supposedly your servant here and will search for you.... even w/ the same model there would be variations in hardwares which are optional and depends on which ones you get, they might, or might not work w/ osx, and that, will complicate the problem a lot..... just go read the YES hardware list and pick a comp w/ those hardware and go from there Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/182211-powerfull-laptop-100-compatible-osx86/#findComment-1238753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottapotamas Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 ummm.. i don't think you can move it yourself... Umm, Admins, Moderators??? I don't know of many that i know to work other than the MSI Wind U100 which is a netbook. Not nearly what you want... I think that you should look for one in your $ range with the specs you want... If possible, try to get one with an Intel Processor and NVidia vidio chipset... They are the most compatible and easiest to set up. An intel processor which is Dual core and above can run the vanilla kernel, (the one from apple) which means you don't need a different kernel. So, just look for a Dual or Quad Core Intel proc, and although it dosen't really matter, a Nvidia chipset. After you find a lappy which suits you, look up its components, eg audio codec, ethernet, drive controller, wireless (some don't work and you may have to get a dell one.... etc. Then check those components or computer with the forum... Use the hackintosh search tool to search the forums (not just insanely) http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=00948655...297:e41g72sr-ba i found this while browsing... Also you say 100% compatible... you understand that isn't going to happen out of the box for anything other than a macbook... you would need to install, find drivers, install, mix and match... eventually you would get a 100%working one though if you chose the right one... Anyway: Toshiba Satellite P100-102 17" In someones sig... ( BugsB is the person )here's the stats, whats working, whats not, and what drivers....
