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.

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 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.

My Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook has been updated to Mac OS X 10.6.3. Everything works without any issue. If you’re planning to make the leap to 10.6.3, remember to imstall NetbookInstaller 0.8.4RC1 first before running Software Update. If you face any problems, you can ask for help from the Mac OS X discussion forums on MyDellMini.com.

May your software update goes smoothly.

They found the photos of my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh connected to my 42″ LCD TV on flickr.

I’ve been busy with working on my mobile booklet website over at MobileBooklet.com, porting it from Ruby on Rails to Python on Google App Engine.

This blog may have been neglected, but not my hackintosh netbook. I’m still using my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook daily after 5 months. It’s mostly used for surfing the net and reading digital comics using FFView. Rotating the netbook to view comic book pages in portrait mode is sweet, but I usually end up rotating the netbook quite often for those two-page spreads.

After 5 months, I’m still happy with my hackintosh netbook, but I’m wondering, would the Apple iPad make me happier?

Are you a Dell Mini 10v hackintosh owner too?

Found it just after the announcement by Google on their Google Chrome OS project.

From what I read about Google Chrome OS so far, it’s a totally online web-focused OS. It uses the Chrome web browser as the user interface and main application. And all it does is run web applications on a computer?

If I can find a binary build of Google Chrome OS, I may try it out on my Dell Mini 10v. Anyone know where I can find a binary build of Chrome OS for the Dell Mini 10v?
