The keyboard and overall design of the HP minis work much better for me than those of any other netbook I could find on the market. Physically they are close to ideal.

It's the only laptop PC that i've ever bought (usually a mac guy) but i really like the netbook form factor. I've installed 10.5.5 and i find it runs much more stable than the other two OS's i tried, the preinstalled XP sp2, which i'm quite used to, and the ubuntu netbook remix, (jaunty) which i expected alot more from. As it stands with the netbook remix, i can have sound or wifi, depending on the kernel. I know there is a way to get wifi back with the newer kernel, but i gave up after a week. I got the hackintosh operational in under 2.5 hours after the downloads (i do own several retail 10.5.4 disks) I have sound, wifi, webcam, accelerated graphics, sadly it was easier to do all this with a "hacked" os. It's easily twice as responsive as it was under ubuntu, and roughly the same (although i feel xp was slower) than xp. there is nothing to fear here, if you've ever used top instead of activity monitor.

Interesting project. I've been dabbling with the hackintosh project for some time now, my MSI Wind is running OS X Leopard really great. Now I bought an HP Mini 1000 and tried booting off with one of the customer DVD's downloaded from the net for this. But I always get stuck at this line: <i>MAC framework successfully initialized using 5242 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers</i><i> Did you experience the same problem? What installation DVD did you use exactly? I'd appreciate it if you'd send me an email. Thanks in advance for your help.</i> Hi Dave! Interesting project.

Still, of all the netbooks out there, the HP Mini 1000 and 2140 are probably the best-looking of the bunch, without looking 'cheap' the way the Aspire One or some of the Eee's do.
