neil43 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 If you already own the Vaio, then you can attempt a SL install and you may have some success. However I along with a number of others have had little success with late model Vaios. I recently spent a lot of time on a 16.4" Vaio F123FX/B i7-740 model. The best internal display resolution that I could get was 1280 x 800 on the 1600 x 900 screen and no acceleration. I elected to sell it and move on. If you are searching for a laptop for dual booting (OS X being one OS) then search for makes and models that are documented as hackable (Dell's and HP's). neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flacker Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yeah, well watch the HP's. A LOT of them use the Intel HD graphics which won't run Quartz/Core, plus changing the wireless card for one that works can be a {censored} because the BIOS seems to reject non-HP ones!
