dba137 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hey guys, I am looking at the $900 Asus U30JC. Here are the specs Core-i3-350m 4GB DDR3 RAM nVidia GeForce 310M with nVidia Optimus Technology What could be some problems with putting Snow Leopard on there? It seems that with the Optimus Technology, this Asus has the Intel HD graphics card, which is the same as the ones in the new MBP. It would be nice to have the 310M work as well but I am not concerned about that, as I would be dual-booting SL and 7 and will be doing my gaming on Windows 7. I just need to have QE/CI supported so I can at least run iLife/watch DVDs etc. Could the processor be the hick-up? If I knew that Snow Leopard would work flawlessly I am totally down with buying this system, Apple dropped the ball with their new 13-inch MBP "update" and has forced me into this route.

If anyone have already tried, i would happy to get his feedback.

kawasakiguy37 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 If this is possible it would basically be a cheaper 13.3 macbook pro.....that has switchable graphics! Although I doubt it will work on OSX, as I have heard only integrated seems to work on OSX for this laptop Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/215481-asus-u30jc-potential-13-inch-hackbook-pro-candidate/#findComment-1474919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
