Mac OS X 10.5.7: Better for Hackintoshed Netbooks?
Although Apple doesn't have any clear Netbook plans on the horizon, that hasn't exactly stopped anyone from getting their own Apple Netbook the hacky way. Hackintoshes, i.e. PCs with Mac software loaded on them, hadn't truly started stealing the spotlight until the Netbook phenomenon. For as little as $300 and a copy ofLeopard,you too could have the sort of ultraportablethat Jobs and Co.would only sneer at.
The downside, besides no official hardware support from Apple, has been battery life, an area where OS X hasn't exactly been Netbook-friendly.
That is, until now.
Early reports from MSI forumsclaim boosts from 3 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 5 minutes on a six-cell MSI Wind after upgrading to 10.5.7, which just became available Wednesday. The update doesn't claim battery life improvements as a feature,according to Apple's official documentation. If battery life improvements were true, one imagines they would be advertised.
On the other hand, maybe these improvements only show up on Atom processors. Others around the Web areplanning to do their own testingto see if any Apple magic has been bestowed on their little Mac Mobile mutants.
We haven't tried it here yet, but have any of you found Hackintosh advantages? That is, if you have a Hackintosh. Let us know below.
