This is the “About This Mac” screen from what is not an Apple product at all. After seeing the sale that Dell was having a few weeks ago, and getting my first royalty check from my book, I decided to splurge a bit and grab a Dell Mini 9. I had a copy of OS X 10.5.6 that I got when I bought the Mac Box Set a few months ago when upgrading my iLife and iWork, so I was covered on the legal copy of OS X.
After that, it was a reasonable simple matter. I’ll throw together a separate post with the directions I followed. What I mainly wanted to note here was how incredibly well the Mini 9 runs OS X. Seriously solid, and with NO hesitation. It’s kind of mind-blowing.

Awesome! Ever since you mentioned picking up the Mini 9, I’ve thought about doing the same. No need at the moment, but a great idea!
Nice. Can’t wait for the detailed follow up. I’ve never tried to set up a hackintosh, but I assume OS X updates that kill it would be a constant worry?
