    Hey guys, I'm going to purchase one of the 120GB's version of the A150 and am planning to run OS X on it.
    What things will I need to make sure OS X runs to it's full capability on it?
    For example I know I'll require a Wifi card that is supported by OS X. What else though?
    Thanks

    Searching is the best option but...

    IME, the iDeneb 1.4 install is the easiest way forward. Just a couple of tweaks afterwards which are in the install notes. Everything works out of the box except the wifi card as you know, and the card readers.

    Also bear in mind the mac keyboard layout is slightly different to your average PC keyboard. So command is where alt is, alt replaces home, @ is on number 2 etc. I've been thinking about printing off some new decals on sticky labels to correct them.

    Oh right, thanks mate.
    Yeah I think I'll end up printing off decals like you said to make it easier.
    I wanted to ask about video playback, is that the same as your playback in Windows?
    Also, isn't there a work around the sleep function yet - not that it matters anyway.

    Once you have 1.5GB of RAM and the Dell DW1390 Wifi card in then you all set.
    Download the iAtkos 5i and follow instructions!
    The Deneb v1.4i also works.

    Make sure you read instructions before starting the install else you will make mistakes and need to start again.
