Alright first things first.
Hello everyone

I was originally thinking about buying a macbook but am now am seriously thinking about the hackintosh. I've ran into a few problems from what i've read so far so I'm stuck at a fork in the road.
1. I can't find any Dell mini 10v's which i've seen on numerous websites works best.
2. The only modding of a netbook I want to do is add a 2 gig stick of RAM.
3. I want a webcam and working mic for Ichat.
4. I would like to use it with my HDTV via wireless via Apple TV

I have a buddy that will help me install everything but I need to know which dell mini I should buy. The 1018 needs a diff wifi card? NOT something I want to screw with.

PLEASE HELP
Which netbook will i be able to use with Apple TV and Ichat? Also being able to use the new appstore would would awesome but thats not a huge priority at this point.


THANKS everybody I really appreciate any and all help/guidance

Mini 9/ Vostro A90 work as well, they are just smaller. Easier to do the memory upgrade to as well.

ebay is still awash with unused 1011 10v netbooks, Mobile BB providers used to hand them out with contracts and they never got used (uk),

really sounds like you need to track down a 10v at best or a 9 ...or go for the Macbook..

don't want to be rude but if you need a friend to put OSX on your dell the Macbook might be a better route as this isn't bug free even after the installation but the best a hackintosh gets.

flip side is there is a community here to help out.

hello back

p.s the wifi card replacement is in fact the easiest mod compared to the ram replacement a brezze

I hackintoshed a Mini 9 about a year ago and once I got it tweaked it's 100% stable and fully functioning. The key is, no software updates.

My son has been using for the last three months without a hitch.
