This is just dumb. apple never puts stickers on their laptops and they definately dont come with Windows. Fucking dumbass.
I think you’re slightly missing the point. It’s not made by Apple, it’s an Advent 4211 running Mac OS 10.5. A ‘Hackintosh’, if you will. That’s why ‘MacBook Nano’ is in inverted commas. If you followed the ‘Big thanks to Paul’ link you can read about the installation process.
Not sure how a 10″, sub-$500 (I’m assuming, from your language and your IP address, that you’re American) Mac OS sub-notebook is dumb, but each to his own. We’ll see what Apple come up with at Macworld.
Thanks for stopping by, though.
Unfotunately there will always be critics, some good, some bad.
In the world of the blogoshpere there will always be the Anus type comment from a complete noob with no idea and half a peanut for a brain.
Some Apple fanatics cant see “why” someone would do this and would rather put down such an effort in an event to justify the price they paid for their Apple tech or to protect the brand snobbery they hold so close, needless to say getting a Hackintosh working is a really great way to get to know how a Mac works and often leads to the purchase of a real Apple product in some way shape or form…..
Kudo’s on the Mac Nano effort. I have an MSI Wind and do exactly the same thing, OSX natively all the way, no dual boots or extra partitions.
Until Apple releases something along these lines (highly doubtful) we can dream the little dream with this effort…..
My 13″ Macbook is just a bit too big to be considered a real portable but this frankenmac is the bees knees and coupled with a 3G data plan is a 1.1kg powerhouse with 5+ hours on tap…
its tempting.So advent+1GB RAM +dell 1490 wireless on my budget for this month. Good work James.!
