Guest acetuk Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Just a quick post to say that I got my Advent 4211 yesterday. Checked everything was working, popped in my original Macbook 120gb hard drive, added a stick of ram and rebooted again and everything was being registered in the bios. Great... so far so good. I knew that Mac OSX would not install with the supplied wifi card so I openned my 'spare' Samsung Q1, swapped out the wifi card for the one from the Advent and installed OSX. Everything worked as required and I have full wifi working. Just a note as well that Leapord then installed system updates fine and rebooted without a problem. I wasn't sure if that would work but it did. I then popped the Advent wifi card in to the Q1, booted to windows and let XP install a driver from the net automatically. That worked and the wifi card is recognised and can connect as required. So by swapping the cards everything has worked as I needed, the Q1 works as it did and the Advent is now an Apple wannabe! ;) The Advent seems a very good machine for the money and I'm enjoying having a 10" Apple laptop, called my Windbook, to play with. Saves me carrying on Macbook around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can install via your macbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
