Macbook Air clone with OS X

While Apple may be doing their best to stop hackers from installing OS X on their Intel Atom powered netbooks and companies, such as Pystar from selling netbooks with OS X preloaded, it hasn’t stopped the hackers from adding OS X to their netbooks. The latest update from Apple saw the hacking community fight back with a patch, which is probably how someone installed OS X on their machine. There are many Macbook Air clones around and one guy purchased one in the Philippines for around $400. Once he got it home, he turned it into a more real Macbook. He installed OS X Snow Leopard on the device. The WiFi card wouldn’t work, so it was replaced with a compatible model. Also the touch pad doesn’t work quite as it should on a real Macbook. You can view the OS in action on the Macbook Air clone below.
