EFi-X Reviewed

[R0GUE]

If you've been keeping up with current events within the OSx86 world, then chances are you've heard of EFi-X. For those who haven't, EFi-X is a hardware add-on that allows one to install an unmodified retail copy of Mac OS X onto 'specific' PC hardware.

The device (which is essentially a dongle) needs to be plugged directly into the computer, and assuming you have the supported hardware, will boot and install Leopard, allowing for a purer OS X experience.

Gizmodo recently had the opportunity to review the device to find out whether or not it lived up to the hype...

"When we first heard about EFiX—a simple USB dongle that'll let you magically install Leopard on your PC—it sounded too fantastic to be true. Well, I used it to turn my gaming PC into a Mac Pro over the weekend, and I'm somewhat amazed to say this, but it works perfectly.

I grabbed all the updates straight from Apple—including 10.5.5 last night, so you don't have to wait for a hacked patch like you would running a typical Hackintosh—installed a whole bunch of software and have been using it for several days. It runs beautifully, just like a real Mac Pro."
