Apple said — in 2008 — it had “pretty interesting ideas” for a Mac netbook.
Fast forward to 2011 the MacBook Air has replaced the former MacBooks and has everything any netbook lover always wanted to, but cannot have due to a 1k pricetag.
Reason I’m looking into any kind of laptop (again), is because of change in requirements of my ‘on the road’ IT business. I need something with …
- multiboot capabilities (Linux, Hackintosh, Windows)
- higher screen resolution than 1024×600; at least 1280x800pixels widescreen with >= 12″ screen
- 2-3hours battery life
- Lightweight & portable dimensions
- have at least 60GB harddrive
- No Atom, but instead Core Duo Intel U-series.
- At a similar netbook pricetag of ~ €200
Doesn’t exist? Maybe. http://www.mymacnetbook.com/compatibility-chart/ is a start and the Dell Alienware M11x R1 looks interesting, but also expensive and due to sizes not very portable.
But … as I happen to know … Dell’s Latitude Dell D420 and Dell D430 not only has excellent reviews, they can be held for about €150-200 second hand and are OSX compatible: http://www.osxlatitude.com !!
