ik_ben_Mark Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I want to buy a new laptop wich can also run Hackintosh, but I'm having troubles finding one. I only have a few demands: - The screen has to be between 13" and 15", so I guess it will lead to 13,3" and 14,1" laptops - a (reasonable) fast processor - budget: maximum of 1000 euro optional demands: - HDMI output - Higher resolution (for example 1600x900) If possible I want to run Snow on it, but some late version of Leopard is also good. I found only the next few laptop wich would satisfy my hardware demands, but I don't know jet how good they will be for running OSx86 - Dell Vostro 3300 (13,3") - Dell latitude E5410 (14,1") - Sony Vaio VPCEA1S1E (14") - Sony Vaio VPCEA2S1E (14") - Sony Vaio VPCEA2X5E (14") I would like to hear if you know more laptops that satisfy my demands, and how good they are for running hackintosh (apology for my bad english, I'm from the Netherlands. I can read English but my writing isn't so good..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuedonakian Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 All of those laptops are perfectly capable of running OS X like a champ. I'm running OS X on an Intel Atom 1.6GHz with 2GB DDR2 533 RAM, 80GB 5400RPM Hard Drive and OS X 10.5.2 and its very smooth. My processor is equivalent in speed to a Pentium III so any of those laptops are fine. I can't tell you which laptop would be the easiest to convert to OS X but performance wise don't sweat about it.

These 4 5 laptops aren't netbooks, so they also don't use Atom processors. They use Intel I3 or I5 processors (and C2D) And I'm not that confident they will run OSX, so I hope there will be some people here who can say more about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
