Joshua Martin Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 yeah well that's called a work-around, not fully compatible .. so is the C300 equipped with the Conexant HDA chip? If so, which vendor/device ID? It is the conexant HDA chip (thats what its marketed as and thats the drivers HP provide). vendor/deviceID were extremely weird in hardware info in the sl installer. Almost every item of any type came up with Intel ICH (the mobo i believe). So i ddnt attempt to patch the hda myself. I shall check via other means the hardware info cos i think the installer was reading things wrong. edit: Vendor ID: 14F1 Device ID: 5047 Hardware ID screeny: http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd478/1nf1n1ty484/HardwareIDs.jpg btw slices HDA doesnt work on it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20846-best-laptops-with-full-hardware-support-and-acceleration/page/12/#findComment-1558974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flacker Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 So, what options are there currently for a (new) laptop that is compatible? Is there anything below $800 in the U.S., which is where nvidia-equipped models seem to start. I'd like to have qe/ci. Is it necessary to stick with Intel, since all the less-expensive models seem to use the Intel HD graphics, which can't perform? What's wrong with AMD and the special kernal for it? Some of those models might have more-compatible graphics. There seems to be lots of inexpensive netbooks that people seem to have gotten up and running with low-power cpus AND with QE/CI. I do want a full-size (=>15.6") model though. I don't care if I have to use a USB wireless card (man, have THEY shrunk lately!), or audio dongle. Anyone?

TheDon Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The Dell Studio 14z makes a great Hackintosh. Graphics supported out the box. Get the 1600x900 monitor and search for 14z on this forum for the thread of owners. I have it and I put a apple sticker over the dell logo because even in dual boot mode, I used apple OS 90 percent of the time on it.

flacker Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Is this model even sold by Dell anymore? If not, what about its successors? The Dell Studio 14z makes a great Hackintosh.

zicoos Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hi all,I'm French & this is my own experience with my HP Compaq laptop. This is really inspiring (not gonna quote the whole post ). Shows how you can build a machine much faster than a real MacBook Pro for even less money. They are CRAZY expensive in Croatia (at least 3 times more expensive than non-Mac equivalents that are even stronger in terms of CPU/RAM/GPU power/HDD Size) Still deciding which laptop to buy for my own Snow Leopard adventure Currently have a 6730s that is a no-go and 2 desktops with 10.5.8., but I want a laptop with OS X!
