First off, I'd like to know if the process involved in installing Mac OS X on a windows based laptop (replacing the windows OS not necessarily dual booting) is an advisable decision. For school next year, I would like to have a laptop with Mac OS so that I can use certain software (mainly Final Cut Pro). As well as to experiment with the Mac OS, after all this time without having ever used the OS, I'm very eager to try it out. However, based on the budget I have for this particular laptop (~2000$) I would much rather spend it on a windows based PC and get better componants than spend the same on a Macbook Pro. The OS is really all I'm looking for, is this a wise decision? Or could messing with the Bios in this way potentially cause some problems. I guess what I'm really looking to know is, if I buy a 2,000$ laptop off a website like www.cyberpowerpc.com, and seek to replace the windows OS with Mac OS, am I making a decision that could cause stability issues? Or should I just spend my 2,000$ on a Macbook if I really want to use Mac OS X? This is exactly or at least very close to what I'm looking for.

Add outlook to apple mail. It looks like you should be able to get OSX on that system, though I'm not certain about some of those peripheral devices. The killer wireless-N card appears that it might not be supported; perhaps you can configure the laptop with a better supported card. The fingerprint reader there probably isn't a Mac driver for (though it's something you can easily do without) and the webcam, I'm not sure. As to the sound, we'd need to know the precise controller (built-in 3d sound is a pretty broad description). Apple has used Nvidia graphics so I'd bet that'll work.

Thanks a lot, I think I'm going to give it a try, I figure worst comes to worst I can just install windows 7 on the laptop until I can figure something out. Thanks loads for the assistance all, tomshardware truly is the place to ask these kinds of questions and get legitimately helpful answers. From my experiences with 'hackintoshes,' the tonymacx86 blog has been an invaluable resource. ![]() He has some great tools such as iBoot and Multibeast as linked to in the the article. I also have found the forums and wiki at quite helpful. Even with all these resources, getting OS X to work flawlessly on my hardware has been a nearly impossible task. I am running on an Intel Core 2 Quad processor and even purchased a new motherboard so I could even get the OS to boot (back when the Core 2 Quad was considered 'new'). My original Foxconn motherboard would cause a kernel panic as soon as the OS would start to load. I replaced it with a Gigabyte board that various forum posts had said worked well. Right before I purchased the board though, Gigabyte released a new version and changed the physical hardware address of the audio card. As a result, the OS did not recognize the onboard audio no matter what I tried and I was forced to use an open source audio driver (Voodoo HDA) to even manage to get sound out of my machine. With this driver, only the audio out in the rear works (none of the front inputs/outpus on my case do) and I constantly get loud pops and clicks out of my speakers.
