Keyboard issue is easily solved- I bought a used mac usb keyboard and all the function keys work the same as on my G5. Connected a 23" monitor (mirroring) when I used it at home for extended periods. Also connect the sound output to a good quality pair of speakers. After spending close to $4000 about 5 years ago on my G5 I simply didn't want to pay over $1100 for the cheapest Mac laptop- the dell mini 10v suits my purposes and realize it has limitation such as running large apps such as photoshop. Overall quality and price is more than I ever expected

I had no idea that the "V" in 10v stood for value but it does make sense
THanks for the insight, ive been wondering what that "V"was all about.

I actually had the opposite reaction than the OP did - given that netbooks are not powerful machines to begin with, and given that MacOS isn't even designed to run on it, it's actually very speedy all things considered. And I like the Mini 10v, overall - it's replacing my ASUS EEE 900HA and the screen size / keyboard are a vast improvement. And it's much quieter than my EEE. HDD replacement was fairly easy once I found a guide, although I agree that the RAM replacement is a bit of a headache.

I don't have a MBP, so I have to assume it's a bit of a shock running MacOS on a netbook in comparison. However, you'd probably have the same complaints with Win7 or Ubuntu. Again, it's not the Mini 10v's fault - this is what differentiates netbooks from a regular laptop. I would never consider using a netbook to run VM's or high performance tasks like video editing / transoding or professional Photoshop rendering. It's designed for low CPU tasks and light multi-tasking.

Before I edited your previous post, you were flaming others as well. When you point the finger at someone else, you have three pointing back at ya
