I have 3 laptops im looknig at. I walked around best buy on my iphone typing in and looking weird but here we go.

2.

 

Dell Inspiron 1764 laptop 17 inch batt: 4 hours

 

3.

 

Dell inspiron 1564-6980crd core i3 batt life 4 hours 15.6 inch screen

 

4.

 

Hp Dv6-2155dx core i3 3 hours batt life 15.6 inch

 

 

I want mac osx to work period. I have kalaways ipc and another version of osx on dvd. I am not sure which laptop here would be the best and stable and easiest to do. Im thinking the dells are probebly and the 1564 is listed in the hlc portables section. If anyone has any guides for these 4 laptops let me know. I will post the links of each laptop on another post. I am mostly using the laptop for dj use sum games but not heavy gaming and I want a stable laptop I can bring anywhere to dj even a football stadium.

 

 

Thanks Logic

You are going to have to do you own homework. Off the shelf probably isn't going to work. Hackintoshes have very tight specifications, especially in laptops.

 

What video cards, wifi, LAN, sound, sleep, track pad, .... works is very difficult. You have a better chance of buying online with a list of known working parts.

The first two laptops on your list just outright will not work. The third one will install leopard, and with more than a little work, Snow Leopard. Same with the 4th one, however none of them will be perfect. Save for netbooks it is almost impossible to find a perfectly compatible notebook.

 

Feel free to pm me if you need further help.
