http://www.infinitemac.com/images/news/eeepc2.pngThe Unofficial Apple Weblog (http://www.tuaw.com/2008/09/12/eeemac-runs-os-x-on-an-even-smaller-portable-than-the-air) reports on one individual's success installing Mac OS X onto an ultra portable Asus Eee PC - complete with a back-lit Apple logo!
I've heard some great things about the tiny little EeePC (http://eeepc.asus.com/global), but this is the best thing I've heard so far: it can be a Mac. Twitterer Gregory Cohen has pictures on Picasa of his completed eeeMac (http://picasaweb.google.com/iiyoyoguy/EeeMac?authkey=eovSurACcNc&pli=1&gsessionid=TbPELrv-fYwr9yBsOPnvrw#), an eeePC transformed into an OS X-running ultraportable, complete with a tiny little lit Apple logo on the back.
Pretty hot. As slim as the MacBook Air is, Asus' unit is even smaller. And it's super cheap, too -- we haven't heard how much this little transformation cost, but considering the eeePC sells at retail for 1/3 of the Air's price, odds are that even tons of modding won't set you back as much as a kitted-out Air. Apple wouldn't be thrilled with it, but you have to admit, that's one good-looking little ultraportable.
For Eee PC owners, there is a guide to installing Mac OS X over at MacEE.com (http://www.maceee.com).
