BlueAvenue Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Cyberpowerpc Xplorer X5-2800 . If you configure it with 80gig hard drive and NO operating system,as i did, it costs $537 and free shipping. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X5-2800_Notebook/ Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1 installed easily using the NON-VANILLA kernel and EFI/MBR bootloader. Everything worked out of the box but the AC97 sound. To activate sound choose Azalia in the custom choices and then use this tutorial here on InsanelyMac to get it working , http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=64754&hl= . Takes about a half hour and you have your sound line out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What about power management and keyboard ? Well I take it the keyboard works, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy...Powermangement.kext gives you battery indicator etc. and speedstep and deleting AppleACPIpowermanagement.kext or whatever cools down your laptop. Of course it will lack the nice battery life as well as great sleep functionality of a real Apple laptop. Two fingered scrolling too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenue Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 When i use this absolutely beautiful laptop, i always use a usb mouse instead of the pad which does work fine. By the way, i tried six different OSX86 distros and the ALL installed easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
