Best Laptop to OS X?

[iGH]

Hi!

 

I have bored to my ASUS X71SL. It will never work with OS X. Always, after installing couple reboots and it gets kernel panic. So now, i though that I could install Vista back on it, and sell it, and with some 400-500 dollars/euros, buy a new laptop, witch would be more compatible with OS X. Now i only need your own experience, what Laptop works best? (Is there custom BIOS avaible, that would be nice to kow too ) and, what model is your Laptop.

 

I have OS X installed to my Eee PC (iPC 10.5.6) but with that X71SL, never worked

 

Please reply, and help me!

Hello iGH,

 

It took me almost 2 weeks to figure everything out but I finally did it, I got OSX Leopard working on my Asus X71SL laptop. Dual boot with Vista that is. I think I came across every possible error you can get; kernel panics, reboot system errors, the famous "still waiting for root device"-error, etc.

 

Now you're probably starving to find out how I did it & what I used to make it work So here it is:

 

- Everest Home Edition for detailled system info;

- iATKOS v7;

- the amazing 'InsanelyMac-forum-search-button';

- Easy BCD for duel booting.

 

I will post more details later if you need them, but first I will try to make everything else work (wireless, gfx card, etc.)

 

Cheers

well, good point

but not everybody can use the search - not that all of the "non search users" are to lazy to use it, the search actually does not work - in my case it works (the first time in the last few weeks)

so much for the search:

 

 

The error returned was:

There was an error processing the request. Please go back and try again, or contact an administrator for assistance.
