Best Buy showcasing Mac OS X on netbooks


Running on the Dell Mini 10/10v netbook.

"Hackintoshs", as they're called, are nothing common on the retail market. The PCs have similar hardware to Apple's machines and can run OS X with some hacking to the software images. The most notable offers are from the infamous Psystar, which is currently in an ongoing lawsuit with Apple, due to manufacturing and selling Apple "clones" running Apple's OS.

A Best Buy store had one Dell Mini 10 netbook running a hacked version of the Mac OS X operating system from Apple - the netbook is known for being of the best "hackintosh" machines available.
The location of the store wasn't disclosed and this isn't expected to become a trend due to the mentioned legal implications.
$349 does make a much cheaper "laptop" than Apple's current offers, although you may experience some driver problems you will have to fix yourself.
