I am considering purchasing a laptop soon, and so far I have found three standouts, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me which ones will be compatible with osx86, which parts will work, which parts won't etc. I am extremely interested in knowing whether ethernet, sleep, and wireless will work.
Thanks a ton.
I already have iatkos 10.5.7 on my desktop pc, so I am roughly familiar with the installation process.
The laptops are:
ASUS X50GL-AP211C DC-T3400

Lenovo G550 (intel gma 4500 :X)

Goto osx86 website and look at the hardware compatibility list. This should give you a good idea which laptop to get.
You should by the G550, is good working with Snow Leopard: chems chaos.de/2010/02/06/hackbook-lenovo-g550-ntd4cge-guide-22-installation-snow-leopard-und-update-von-10-6-0-auf-10-6-2/
