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.

With the recent update from Apple for Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard, it prevented netbooks from running the Operating System. Users with hackintosh netbooks were advised to not update in order to continue running Snow Leopard. Thankfully a patch has now been released allowing hackintosh users to update their machines. The patch has been posted over at the InsanelyMac forums and has been tested over the past week and confirmed working. MacObserver also note, that when an update is released from Apple, it’s wise not to upgrade immediately but, rather wait for a patch to come out.

So if  you currently have a Hackintosh netbook as you read this post, better not upgrade to the latest Snow Leopard anymore and enjoy your netbook while it last. Or perhaps you might want to wait for the latest build. Who knows, Apple might forget about disabling this feature.

You’re best to having a Hackintosh netbook then is to get those 12-inch laptops that don’t run on Intel Atom anymore. Or bettery yet, why don’t you get a MacBook instead?

So, if you’re running a Hackintosh netbook you might want to avoid upgrading to the latest build of the OS X to avoid rendering your netbook immobile due to this current development.

This puts the question whether Apple is gearing up for the release of the Apple Tablet which will most likely compete with netbooks or Apple doesn’t really like netbooks.

Apple Snow Leopard Update to Kill Hackintosh Netbooks is a post from: Eee PC

With many netbooks already able to load into OS X it comes as no surprise that the netbook/CULV device from HP can also run OS X. One hacker over at the Insanely Mac forums, has successfully loaded into the Apple operating system on their HP Mini 311. Both the high resolution of the device (1366 x 768) and graphics (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M) are supported in OS X along with the card reader, Ethernet, webcam and bluetooth. Unfortunately WiFi and sound don’t work at the moment. Neither does the sleep/resume function but, this has been a case with many Hackintosh netbooks.

OS X installed on Sony Vaio P

The folks over at InsanelyMac forums have got the Sony Vaio P to run Mac OS X. A lot still needs tweaking before the OS could be used every day, but overall the members who hacked the Vaio claim it runs better than it’s native OS, Windows Vista. Currently the WiFi, ethernet and 3G aren’t working, so going online isn’t feasible. Also the GPS currently isn’t working under OS X. Neither can 3D games or apps be run due to missing video chip drivers, which weren’t good on Vista either.

If you are one of those adventurous Eee PC owners that have had the desire to install OS X on your netbook and turn it into a “Hackintosh” then you may be pleased to know that thanks to some persistant hackers and a new application, your sound issues – it has been virtually impossible to get sound working when using OS X on an Eee PC until now – can all be solved.

Hackers have created a work around, similar to the method used to get sound working on the MSI Wind. You need to install a different audio driver and the Apple developer tools first of all and then grab the new application that developer ipis OS X have created. Audieee allows the sound to be controlled from the menu bar on OS X, allowing you to switch between headphones/speakers as your output of choice, something that doesnt happen automatically yet but, be sure there is a hacker somewhere working on a fix for this too.
