Ok well recently my dad saw a MacBook.. He LOVED it... But, what he didn't like was the $999 price tag... So then I told him about hackint0shes and the HP Mini, which had similar specs.. Now I found this guide, blog.tinyen ormous.com/2009/08/30/hackintosh-hp-mini-1000/ , but could somebody sum it up and tell me what's going to work and what's not? Or even if you have a different guide. All help would be amazing!

Field Note #1 @Imkantus 2009-12-23

The 1030NR looks like beeing a good choice for a netbook.

According to this source (forums.remote exploit.org/newbie-area/19264-broadcom-4312-marvell-88e8040-not-working-hp-mini-1030nr.html) it has Broadcom & Marvell NICs so you can make the Wifi work as Airport just with adding 4315 subset to AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext

Offcourse an N270 configuration can't mess with an C2D macbook.
