codyman Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I am looking for a good hackbook recommendation, any one know of one that is 100% compatible, with everything working? I tried to search and looked at the wiki but they all posted old hardware. Im looking for a laptop that can run Final Cut Studio 2 (and Motion) at the same speeds that a Macbook Pro can, with atleast a 2ghz core duo processor. Any suggestions? Sorry if this has been asked a lot, could not find any info after searching for hours. Thanks, Cody Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57962-hackbook-recomendation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeplover Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The Acer 9411-100 will work 100% when you switch the installed wlan-mini-pci-card. Replaced with a broadcom BCM94311 chipset off ebay you have a fully working macintosh.

yonah Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Will it work with sleep/wake, because that is a pretty major area for me. My books go in and out of my pack all day....

Guest pcharles25 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 If your using Pro Apps to make money you should just buy a Mac Book or a MBP. i used the acer 2480 everything all the hardware worked great. With laptops i feel its better to just throw down and buy a real Apple Lapper, just because the prices are so close anyways. To get what you want/need you are going to have to spend 699 or 799 anyways. Just bite the bullet and get a real mac.

Synaesthesia Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 If your using Pro Apps to make money you should just buy a Mac Book or a MBP. Yeah, have to agree, get the real thing. Everything will work, they look sexy and they use the latest processors...
