A Small MacBook Under $600

A pretty simple—if somewhat overused—premise. Why not hack an Asus Eee PC 1000H so that it can run on supposedly the best OS around, Mac OS X?
Easier done than said. The staff of The Cult of Mac is probably going apeshit over their newest toy, an Asus Eee PC 1000H that runs on Mac OS X. Interesting how those dock icons practically fill-up the entire low-resolution screen. And what about performance?
“Performance is on par with my MacBook,” says Gilbertson. “Benchmark-wise, I think it comes in around the equivalent of a G5.”
Ha Apple! Expect mass defections as people decide to go for the cheap Asus alternative. Oh wait, maybe that’s why you prohibit people from installing your dear OS on non Apple machinery, right?
Hot dang! I want me one of those! I hope Asus starts shipping the Eee PC with Mac OSX.
Hey, one can dream.
When Apple comes out with a Mini Mac comparable in size to the new PC models from Toshiba, HP, Acer and others, I’ll be the first to buy one. If they don’t do it within the next year I’ll have to go for the PC.
