Here's a picture taken earlier today of a Mac OS X Leopard running on a Dell Inspiron 1420. Its booting from a portable hard drive, I'm checking whether all the hardware are compatible with the OSX before proceeding installing the OSX on that Dell. Unfortunately...that version (distro) of OSX, kalaway 10.5.2 are not that compatible with that dell, the wifi/ethernet ain't running, there's no sound..but the graphic were smooth..there is no jerkyness when moving the windows across the screen. Reading on an installation guide from wiki.osx86project.org...it did mention that inspiron 1420 works well with Leo4Allv3 10.5.2....with some minor teaks and patch need to be done before OSX runs smoothly on that type of machines...before anything could be done..firstly, i need to get a hold of a copy of Mac OSX installation disk....and for that, i need to torrent it....maybe tommorow it would be finised downloading...then i need the help of Toriq to install it....the installation needs some wicked scripting and tweaks that only a mac user know how....Owh..did i forget to mention that Dell is mine?....yup...just came by courier yesterday...i actually ordered it online last week on monday...the last day of pc fair...they have a sweet deal for that last day.....they throw in 2GB ram and 250 GB HDD for the price of rm 2400++. The decision to buy a laptop came when we find it hard to do my assignments, labs and lily presentations without our own laptops...It comes with windows vista home basic, a intel core 2 duo T5750 2 GHz, 2 Gb Ram, 250 Gb HDD and other things like bluetooth and sd card reader here's a few pictures of the notebook....
