Dell Mini 10v Hackintosh Upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.7

By Victor Goh | Published: June 9, 2011

I’ve just updated my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook to Mac OS X 10.6.7. It was a simple process.

  1. Run the Netbook Installer and restart.
  2. Download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update dmg file from the Apple support site.
  3. Run the update in the dmg file.
  4. Restart and all done.

I ran Software Update after the restart to get the latest version iTunes and Safari.

After 1 year and 8 months, my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh is still running strong. However, I only use it mainly for Skype video chat. For all the other stuff I used to do on my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook, I’m using my iPad 1st Gen.

The iPad Has Replaced My Hackintosh Netbook

By Victor Goh | Published: December 11, 2010

It’s been more than 6 months since I wrote anything in this blog. Nothing much happened with my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook during this past 6 months. The iPad has replaced the hackintosh netbook for casual web browsing and reading ebooks. The netbook only comes into action when I need to use Skype with video chat.

In the past 6 months, Mac OS X 10.6.4 and 10.6.5 has been released. I’m still running Mac OS X 10.6.3 on the Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook because it works and I don’t want to break anything. Since I have some free time this weekend, I will attempt to upgrade the Dell Mini 10v to 10.6.5.

I will update this blog after my Dell Mini 10v is updated to Mac OS X 10.6.5.

I Bought An iPad. Will it Replace My Hackintosh Laptop?

By Victor Goh | Published: May 31, 2010

Will an iPad replace my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh laptop? I asked my dad to get me an iPad during his trip to the US. He managed to buy a unit at the Apple Store and the iPad is with him at the moment. He’s still holiday-ing over there.

My dad seeing an iPad for the first time in the Apple Store.

Viewing Photos on the iPad.

I’ll get it when he comes back to Malaysia sometime next week.

Since I use my hackintosh Dell Mini 10v mostly for surfing the net, viewing digital comics and reading ebooks on my bed; I think the iPad will be a great replacement for the netbook.

Will write more once I get my hands on the iPad in 10 days time.

If you face any problems, you can ask for help from the Mac OS X discussion forums on MyDellMini.com.
