Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 J273 ....stick OSX on, just to check everything works fine!! Then if it does, I'll get one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J273 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Think ill stick with xp for now... Ive only just fired it up even though ive had it all day.......So far its very nice...great buid quality (not as good as the mininote) ...Nice 10'' screen. I need to have a longer play with it first though. I may put osx on later as the pre loaded xp is loaded with a few extras like norton .etc ...So before i do a fresh install of xp i may try OSX first.

Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Sounds like a sensible rationale to me. Are you confident that OSX will work fine on it, with all devices supported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I don't have an external DVD drive sadly, makes loading OSX on tricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J273 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 No idea if it will work i think so though....after reading a few sites + theres a few vids on youtube with it running leopard. Ive got a dvd drive here now so i think i will attempt it. maybe :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Haha! :( I have my order at PCWorld that hasn't shipped yet, but I now have a reserve at store on one in Norwich too.

Guest J273 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yup....Im holding off installing leopard ...until its fully working. Runs pretty well though from the youtube vid ^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I'm gonna try it anyway :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Runs damn well on that little machine. Once wifi issues are sorted, I think I shall invest. Seems my eee might be getting resigned though ... dont use it much anyway ... other than in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 For me the Eee screen was just TOO small. Getting old you know :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 My problems exactly ... short sighted and fat fingers ... not really the best idea to use the EEE. Great toy device, but not something to use daily. The WIND appeals because of the better screen, decent keyboard and the fact it has a hard drive too. Means I can use it when out and about for uploading photo's etc. Out of interest did they XP ones come with the 3 cell or 6 cell batteries?
