Wanna try ‘Apple Netbook’ ? Gizmodo already success to install OS X into Dell Mini 9. According to BoingBoing , several netbooks can support OS X to varying degrees, but the Dell Mini 9 has the best all-around support for an out-of-the-box install.
Here’s what you’re going to need, paraphrased from the post:
- Dell Mini 9 With 16GB SSD or higher (8GB SSDs will technically work, but it will take some fiddling not covered by this guide)
- Retail copy of OS X 10.5.x
(NOT an OEM copy that comes with a new Mac)
- A USB flash drive 8GB or higher
- An external USB DVD drive
- The “Type11″ Bootloader: DellMiniBoot123v8.01.iso.zip (download link in this forum post)
- Blank CD to burn bootloader image
- Windows PC for preparing the flash drive
Read the full article here if you’re brave enough to hacking OS X, but make no mistake–this isn’t supported by Apple nor Dell, so the choice is yours. This the cheapest way to own “Apple Netbook”.
