But while I was traveling in Europe, my netbook's Wi-Fi suddenly stopped working. I accepted that, and with some tweaks I got most software utilities working properly. Seeing as this netbook was hacked to run OS X, of course it didn't work perfectly. Like 's Charlie Sorrel, I grew to despise the Wind's dinky trackpad: Whoever designed it had in mind an infant's hands navigating became so tiresome that I started carrying around an external mouse to make it tolerable. The Wind was a great companion device: I use an iMac in the office, so when I got home the dumbed-down, lightweight netbook was perfect for web surfing, chatting and general unwinding.īut over time the problems started surfacing. To express my delight, I even made a custom wallpaper for my netbook featuring my favorite childhood ice cream flavor ( Superman). I loved the netbook so much, in fact, that I almost stopped using my first-generation MacBook Pro altogether.
When I first bought my Wind in October, I was thrilled after successfully hacking it to run Mac OS X Leopard. In short, my Hackintosh and I have been pals for six months, but it's been a pretty bumpy ride. Is hacking a netbook to run Mac OS X really worth the trouble? Two tech journalists today expressed grief with their Hackbooks, so I felt like chiming in with my thoughts about my somewhat controversial MSI Wind Hackintosh.
