My original plan was to install Vista on the Dell Mini, but I was sidetracked when I came across an article about someone’s “Run Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) on a Dell Mini 9” article.
I was intrigued.
I’ve always wanted play around with the Mac OSX, but I could never justify the purchase of a Mac nor did I have the patience to go through the “Hackintosh” route. I also wanted to be able to use my desktop machines at their full potential.
Well today was quite the day. Resistance 2 was delivered and so was Gears of War 2. However, this post isn’t about either of those games. It’s about the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 which I’ve ordered those many weeks ago. It is finally here and here are some thoughts on it.
