Well, i've looked at the drivers that come with it, and they're fairly close to my system. Sound, video is the same. Mobo is similar.
I'll check out those links you gave me.
How's it going? Have any luck?



Currently 40% of the dl. uTorrent says it *should* be done before the next ice age.

Actually, it varies from 16 hours to 2.5 days. 40% done in 14 hours. At this rate, it should finish by tomorrow, or sunday at most.

EDIT: WOOO!!! Got it working! It works perfectly! It took a while to get set up though, I had to reinstall 3 times, because, it turns out the drivers that come with it are dodgy and if you install them with the OS, you wont be able to boot. I learned that the hard way. Then somehow, my new grahpics drivers screwed my internet, which only worked in safe mode, and now, after a bit of messing with kexts and terminal, It's working perfectly! Hackintosh FTW!

As for the new MacBook Air's, I have a MacBook, and was really looking forward to the new MacBook as I like to upgrade every year but I'm disappointed in the latest one.

There is a joke about the ad, lol, that the MacBook Air is so useless you may as well send the whole comp rather than a piece of paper.

IT DOESN'T COME WITH A CD/DVD ROM!

But you can buy one separate, which defeats the whole idea of it being so light because it makes it weigh the same as my MacBook.

Anyway, I was just hoping for some big improvement, something new, but it's basically the laptop I have without a CD ROM and lighter... with less room. And it cost the same amount too.



Just looking back over this thread... Chobits the Macbook Air is not a replacement for you spunky little Macbook. Its another variation of the Macbook Range. They are:
Macbook (yours), Macbook Pro (Mine), and now the Macbook Air. All three are available. In saying this your Macbook is due for a refresh, They will most likely go Aluminium.. quite possibly after 9th June at this years WWDC.

They are great, I really want a mac, i enjoy using both for different reasons, i want to have Linux dualbooted on my PC and a mac as well, that would be great.

I just don't have the money for it at the moment (and before anyone argues that i bought an $1800 computer, my dad payed for some of it as well as the mac wouldnt help as much as a faster PC would with the things i need to do)

I had the Myer guy looking at me weird for ages, pftw does he think I'm not actually considering buying an extremely expensive coach I was sitting on and a $12,000 TV?

That new Mac Book Air wasn't really greeted with good reviews. With such a high price tag, it's only very mediocre. USB port problems, no DVD/CD drive. $2500 price tag. You're paying for thin laptop with very average performance...lol

Im not a fan of the airs. They do however have a very specific purpose in life and if you need it then its a great laptop.

The Macbook Pro however is completely different to the Macbooks as you have asked Cham. Far more superior. I have a 17" screen as apposed to a 13" screen on the Macbook.

Seriously, if I did have the money, I would probably buy one, either the 13" laptop or an iMac. I don't see it happening, though, because everytime they release a new model, their prices just keep going through the roof!

Annirowe, I saw that timecapsule thing advertised in a catalogue today. Wow, very expensive. Just because it's a HDD and Wireless router in one...
