sv7saunders Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hello guys, its good to join a forum where I will hopefully be able to learn something. I really want to try and take my new Lenova i7 notebook and installed OSX on it however I really want to be able to duel book just in case. Obvious first questions include is this possible and if so, what sort of compatability can I expect ? presumable the overall experience of running OSX on this machine regardless of how powerful it is, will not be the same as on a macbook pro ? Hopefully someone can offer me some advise / help.

Apple offers something more in its notebooks. Attach some specifications about your notebook, I mean principally: CPU and Graphics card.
