Just want to respond to the user who says he has problems with playing 720p mkv files, I am currently typing this comment while watching LOTR Return of the King - 720p mkv on a stock hardware 10.6.4 mini 10v.

I just made my S10 a hackintosh but, actually, I’m going totally off-topic right now: where can I find the wallpaper of the girl on the last picture. Loved it, rsrs.

This post inspired me to get my lenovo s10 off of the shelf and try to breath new life into it. After a visit to Best Buy and my mac-owning friend’s house we did the hack in a few hours. Lenovo’s s10 message board’s have some awesome contributors that make this a pretty easy process.

I am loving my new s10 macbook!

I don’t know why you’d want to take away the only day to day exercise that I still do, which is to carry my 17″ umbp in my backpack everywhere I go.

That also works for biking – I was commuting by bike for about 3 or 4 months when I found that my back hurt (PowerBook at the time, plus lots of other stuff, which made for a pretty heavy backpack).

Solution: Get an excellent backpack! I got a Boblbee, and poof, back problems were gone, even though I stuffed even more things in the Boblbee. These days, there are a few backpacks that work for every day laptop carrying – the key is that they need a support system that looks pretty much like the ones on professional hiking backpacks look.

These days I have an Axio, which is a fine bag. Although if I biked every day I think the Boblbee would be better still.

All in all I think Apple’s right to skip the netbook market. What they need urgently though would be a competitor to Acer timeline and similar class computers: Fast enough for day to day, 13″ and up HD display, _cheap_, and last 8 hours on battery. If I’d consider a hackintosh, then it would be a timeline.

I “hackintoshed” my ASUS EeePC 1000HE this week using Snow Leopard and the NetBookInstaller application. After a few false starts, everything works. I had bought my 1000HE with the idea of running Mac OSX on it, but the wireless card was not supported until Snow Leopard. I had also upgraded to 2 gigs of RAM and a faster HD with 329 gigs. I am, frankly, amazed at how well this setup works. Video performance in iTunes is actually much better than under Windows XP or Windows 7, very smooth and no lagging. I bought and installed iLife and iWork ’09 and all of the apps work without a hitch that I can detect. Snow Leopard is estimating a little over 5 hours of runtime on the battery; I’ll have to try testing actual battery performance.

With a compatible NetBook, this is a very useful hack. I’m even running XP using VMWare Fusion when I need Windows programs to run!

Ok, cool. So it means good as well as bad. That’s entirely unambiguous. No confusion can happen there.

It’s a reasonably good rule of thumb that if your idiom is *exactly* the opposite of what the dictionary says to just ask yourself if you’re using it wrongly. You don’t need to do what the dictionary says but, you know, just bear it in mind for the readers.

More importantly, he’s gone from a external keyboard and mouse to little tiny ones. Isn’t that a problem? He obviously cared enough to bring big input devices (despite the shoulder and everything) for his 15″ laptop everywhere with him so why is the netbook even slightly acceptable for typing on and pointing at things with the trackpad?

@ HazardousPaste

One simple answer: to some people, the netbook *formfactor and weight* is important.

I haven’t tried mirroring on an external monitor on the Mini 10v, but heard that it doesn’t work.

The netbook-installer that I used to install my Mini 10v hackintosh comes with an option to install older display kext files to enable mirroring. I didn’t select that option.
