I was away for the Independence Day weekend and it must have slipped through the cracks. :-) I am glad that you could find a Mini 9 and that I could talk you into Hackintoshing it. Are you having good luck with it so far? I actually got my chrome stickers through a group buy on the Dell Mini 9 forums @ MyDellMini, but I believe they did actually come from decalplanet. They work pretty darn well! I had hoped to find a rainbow Mac sticker for mine but didn't have any luck. @dkedinger – Sorry I missed your comment before!

I have a Macbook Pro and 30" Apple Cinema Display, but I wanted something that I can pick up and run out the door with to a coffee shop or meeting. I have to eject, unplug, and pack up the machine to go anywhere. I ended up finding a refurbished one on recoupit.com. I hope to dual boot it, but I might have to do a SSD upgrade to fit OS X and a slim XP...we shall see. Thanks for the info! BTW where did you find the chrome apple stickers!

While I know people who have had lemons here and there, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Apple hardware. I mean, I still have that G3 from 1998-99 and it runs GREAT. That's a 10 year old computer! Can't say that about any PC I have ever owned...they're all dead. The netbook hackintosh is what I'd call my Mac companion. I am an Apple hardware girl for life. However, I must say that my little MacBook Mini has become my main machine for almost everything. I wouldn't do hardcore processing on it, but for everything else it is FANTASTIC! It proved to me once and for all how much I love the Apple OS, even more than I love the hardware. @thehotrod – Like Michael, I really love Apple hardware (especially their laptop hardware).

For myself, in all my years of being laptop-only (and it has been nearly 15 years that my primary computer has *always* been a laptop), no other manufacturer has so consistently done a great job at just making things work than Apple. I have had great laptops from IBM, Toshiba, HP, Dell, etc ... but I have also had some crappy ones from each of those folks. So if it was a laptop you wanted, I'd go legit Apple.

I now I could build it, I'm pretty good compterwise, just no experience with Macs. Apple's hardware just looks sooooo goooood.

I had purchased it for about $50 to play around with, since I missed working on a Mac as I had in college. Imagine my surprise when it ran better than the much newer PC laptop I had been using! OS X is now my OS of choice, even over things like Win7 and Ubuntu. It's just so elegant, but with geeky underpinnings. I love it. @Michael - The other netbooks get pretty close, but that chart on Boing Boing also helped seal the deal on my Dell purchase. With green checkmarks across the board, how could I say no? :-) And really, the installation could not have been easier. @thehotrod – I cut my teeth on an Apple ][, so it’s practically in my DNA now. :-) I switched full-time (except at work, where I have to use a PC) to Mac about 5 years ago after my Dell laptop crashed and left me with only an old 1999 G3 Mac as my backup.
