After reading through some of the great work being done on the HP Mini 311 project here on the forums, I was all set to pick up a HP Mini 311 except for the discussion that Apple may be killing off Atom chipset compatibility. I needed to replace my laptop due to an emergency and happened upon the T135-S1309 at Best Buy for $550. Everything I needed or wanted in a new laptop without having to do any initial upgrades. ( SU4100 Dual Core Chip, 3gb RAM, 360 Gig HD, 13.3 1376x786 LCD, LED Back lit, Wireless N)

 

Basic Specs: http://laptops.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/T100/T135-S1309

 

Spec Sheet: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/pr..._T135-S1309.pdf

 

I did however try to run a Vanilla install but could not get past the Snow Leopard on a USB thumb drive booting up, Spin Wheel and never getting to the language selection, instead getting a prompt to turn off my computer. Used both Netboot Maker and other guides, no progress.

 

Is anyone else interested in looking at this decent set of hardware and seeing if the Toshiba T135 might be a candidate for the Hackintosh Air?

This bit right here screams (at least to me) not worth it:

 

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M

 

Apple left the Intel video chipset before this model came out, meaning there's no real support for it. An X3100 driver has been rigged up to allow proper resolution on some machines, but you'll never have Quartz Extreme. That's sort of like running XP in safe mode.

@CharredPC I really appreciate the feedback. After doing some additional searching it appears that there has been some hit or miss success with this video chipset resulting in getting some native resolution and removing white vertical lines and such. I think it might be worth the fight, but I am struggling to get past the spinning wheel and apple logo as is. Any additional insight would be much appreciated.

Did you have success installing on the t135-13109 system?

Is anyone else success installing Hackintosh on this model. Can anyone help me to install SnowLeopard 10.6 on my system? I'm a newbee and interested in any your ideas.

 

Thanks so much.
