Mac OS X Netbook Compatibility Chart (Updated June 2009: Sony Vaio P and MSI Wind U120)

Apple says it's had "pretty interesting ideas" for a Mac netbook, but it's everyday users who've already taken action. Most of the popular netbooks can run OS X, but there are plenty of caveats: non-functioning components which lack drivers, need to be replaced, or which simply can't be gotten working at all.

The short answer: get an MSI Wind, Lenovo S10 or HP Mini 1000. Gizmodo has an excellent how-to for the Mini 9, but it's no longer being sold.

(Updated: June 19) MSI Wind U120, courtesy of Matt Hickey.

(Updated: June 13) Vaio P.

(Updated: May 22) Added a bunch of new machines.

(Updated: Feb 1) More columns! Lenovo's S10 bumped to recommended machines: prettier than the Wind and has a 10" display, so unless you need Ethernet, consider it.

* Aspire One WiFi only available by replacing adapter
* Frequent kernel panics reported during Samsung NC10 installs.
* Dell Mini 9 requires SSD replacement for sleep.
* Fan control and ExpressCard34 work on Lenovo S10.

Note: Green doesn't mean it's easy to set up, or that you won't need third-party software. It just means you can get it working. How-to guides for each netbook are linked to from the chart.

Post updates and corrections to the comments (or to me at rob at boing boing).

Hacking OSX into a netbook isn't easy, and may require familiarity with the terminal. You'll have to grab a hacked version of OSX from the tubes, in contravention of Apple's EULA. You should own a legal copy, too. Piracy isn't nice.

The Aspire One can supposedly use the same WiFi drivers as the Wind. You can also swap out the card in the same way as any of the Netbooks and have it work. Audio also works with auto-sensing of headphones. The mic/line-in don't work though.

I don't think the HP 2133 can run OSX at all -- it uses a Via C7 processor. You're probably thinking of the Mini 1000, which has an Atom processor.

I promise you audio works on the Dell Mini 9. Mine doesn't have BT, but I'm fairly certain that works too.

Acer Aspire One built in Ethernet works out of the box, and the AAO does not come with Bluetooth so that could probably be removed from the list. Any Mac-compatible USB Bluetooth module will obviously work.

A better guide for installing on EEE 9xx/1000H is: http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com/installing_ideneb_1_3_1000h

Audio works on both with the exception of the microphone. You can hear everything fine.

#10 – 7:15 PM December 17, 2008

Couple notes. I find the Dell Mini 9 to be the purest install. It can use the normal wifi without the stuff needed on the wind. Also using boot132 you CAN use a retail leopard DVD easily and you CAN pay Apple for it. Sure it is debatable if the EULA is enforceable but at least you are not pirating this way. the other good thing about the install is it places thing son the EFI partition. What this means is all the users of the method just upgraded to 10.5.6 and it "just worked", with iDened, iAtkos, Kalyway this is not the case. http://mydellmini.com/forum/howto-install-os-x-the-right-way-type11-boot132--t1106.html

Also I thought the Aspire One needed a hardware swap to make wifi work? Or at least that was the case with the atheros card my brother had in his last time we tried. Has this changed?

Everything works on the Dell Mini 9, they have a guide for a few different methods at http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-os-x-f23.html along with a lot of info from their users on hardware compatibility. Apparently most of the Dell hardware is perfect for a smooth transition to OSX.

Sleep doesn't work with the default SSD, but it seems to work fine with larger aftermarket SSDs that people are buying. One fellow is making a driver for the built in card reader. I think he has it working for up to 2Gig SD cards (no SDHC).

Audio works on the S10 (instructions here http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com/forum/t-101853/audieee:the-less-ugly-stop-gap).

Built-in mic does not work.

Ethernet does not work.

List is a good starting point, but may I suggest a couple of additional columns?

Cooling Fan (machine isn't as useful if you can't use it for any length of time due to overheating)

CPU throttling (power management)

Sleep

The basic stuff currently listed gets you a machine that runs OS X, but these little additional things make the difference between a "why, because I can" project and a usable system.

Onboard WLAN for AA1:

Everything else for AA1:

Note that onboard LAN is reported to work. I'm not sure the AA1s come with bluetooth at all. I am too lazy to Google it. The chart incorrectly lists line-out as not working, when it is in fact line-in that does not work.

As for OSX with a VIA C7, actual OQO instructions are here:
http://www.oqotalk.com/index.php/topic,2430.msg19574.html#msg19574

It's odd that only one person in the entire series of tubes has done this on a Mini-Note 2133. If we are to accept that at face value, I would suggest adding another column for video drivers, because I cannot imagine there are any for the integrated VIA chipset, which would limit you to 800x480, same as the OQO.

the Mini 1000 which I just saw in person yesterday at a BestBuy in NYC appears to be a very desirable candidate, thinner than Wind, and with a scrolling trackpad. Some Winds (not sure which ones) don't have a Synaptic trackpad which apparently eliminates 2-finger scrolling, something I can no longer do without. If the Mini 1000 had a slighter larger trackpad a la the EEE 1000HD, it would appear close to perfect. All comments/links to Mini 1000 hackintosh greatly appreciated.

Yeah I have an Aspire one and you need a hardware swap to get wifi, but the ethernet works fine. There is no BT, so that point is kind of irrelevant. You might want to add a "sleep" column as I know the Aspire has problems with it under OS X and I thought the Mini9 did too.

I really really want to get OSX on the Mini Note 1000. You have the 2133 up there and I have not been able to verify that. Sine the 1000 has the Atom proc I would agree most likely that is what is being referred to. Please clear this up. Not to be pushy but I have had a hard time locating which ISO to use for the HP and would love a nudge in the right direction.

The Lenovo S10 on the chart could use an update. Ethernet does not work, but audio does, using the azalia audio driver package, apple's CHUD, and audieee to switch between headphones and built-in speaker output. For a complete guide: http://www.s10lenovo.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=571&sid=41053038503f97ceb6721dcc91415424

The Lenovo S10 makes a great "MacBook Mini" btw. In 10.5.5, the built-in wireless works with a downloadable wireless driver update, sleep works, audio works, the fan works and adjusts according to temp/load. And it foregoes a USB port (has only 2) for an Expresscard34 slot! And it has a multitouch-capable synaptics trackpad that can be made to work with two-finger scrolling, although the current incarnation is a bit rough and could benefit from continued development.

There is a great user community including quite a few people using it as a Hackintosh at the above forum! (No relation or connection, just a happy community member.)

BT on the NC10 works just fine, same as USB. The guy who made the osx86 distro for the nc10 almost has the mic/headphone jacks working OTB so I'd say the NC10 is right up there with the Wind. Not completely, but in the same ballpark.

+1 for an Ubuntu version of the chart. I've tried to make it work on an eee900 but though you can now get close it's still broken in various small ways.

Which brings up the next issue. This chart is a bit thin. For instance, there's no mention of the video camera that all these things have. And having audio but no microphone stops you from using Skype effectively.

Might be worth noting that the HP mini 1000 doesn't have an ethernet jack, so ethernet is a nonstarter anyway (at least I looked all over and couldn't find it). Maybe it is available through their proprietary expansion port?

Not a big deal, but the red X makes it look, to me, like it doesn't work, when really it isn't on the feature set to begin with.

My Wind, which is the U100-290AU Australian variant, has a Ralink b/g/n WiFi card in place of the Realtek one in the US version.

There are no Mac drivers for the specific card that MSI uses (the 2700E), but the ones for the 2860 work just fine as of the latest version. Anyone out there with a Ralink-enabled Wind (you can tell by looking at the sticker on the bottom of the case) can download them here.

FYI - For those interested in just how OS-X will run on these guys, there's a good benchmarking application/site xbench.com. Many many many folks have run the benchmark on a wide variety of hardware and posted the results.

It looks like the netbooks are clocking in around the same speed as an iBook G4 with the MSI Wind leading the pack with the highest average speed (based on a quick look).

One thing worth mentioning- I figured out how to install from a dvd without an external dvd drive. All you need is a computer with a dvd drive, the disk, and a SATA to usb adapter (in a pinch, you can even take one of these from a pocket hard drive).

Pull the hard drive from the netbook, hook it up to your computer which has the dvd drive, and install as normal, making sure to select the drive you just hooked up on the destination screen. When the DVD portion of the install is done, pop the HD back in the netbook and do all the kext installs and whatever other tweaks you need.

I can't vouch for other models, but it worked fine on my wind.

the audio hack actually comes from the eee, and its not that hard to apply.

also as a previous poster has pointed out, you can do a vanilla/retail install.

finally if you want to run XP under some kind of virtualization, you should use sun's virtual box. disk performance under vmware is so bad that fusion is unusable on the s10. don't know about parallels.

An additional column or two would be a huge help.

Some people would be interested in the way the trackpad is supported. With some installations of OS X on netbooks the trackpad does not work for taping at all. On others it works just fine even with multitouch support.

Maybe just a column for annoyances would be fine.

For example;

touchpad does not support clicking
sleep does not work
sound only works through headphone jack

Thanks for all the great info and to all the folks getting this stuff working.

Ended up buying the Lenovo for $270 with Live cashback and the Bluetooth module for $25 from HelloWiFi (used to be $15 but keeps selling out so they raised the price).

Also, doesn't the MSI audio in/out work the same as the S10 with Audieee? My friend has one that I put OS X on, I guess I'll try it later.

Big fan of the S10. Did an intial install on a Wind, but the keyboard was almost unusable for touch typing, and to be honest, the mattel build quality turned me off.

With a dual boot, the lenovo has been quite the conversation piece with both my mac and windows using friends. It's quite a solid, stylish and easy to use machine.

Does Vid-Out on the chart mean video out through the VGA port on the netbook or mean video output in general (as in on the netbook screen)?

Since the S10's Ethernet doesn't work, does that mean I will not be able to hook it up to an ethernet port only, being forced to use Wifi?

You must be on crack. How do you cope with your loss of workspace context?

I never shut down / reboot my computer willingly. If I had my way (according to no-kernel architecture) even operating system updates wouldn't require me closing my open applications. (Damn you Quicktime updates!) Then again, applications should also maintain persistence (like "save state"). (I often hear that GDB can do this, but I'd like to see someone write up how to actually do it with OSX.)

I also expect my browser to keep about 500 tabs open (seriously) and not crash.

Then again, sleep/resume functionality should also be extended to networked "live migration" ala Xen VM.

Update for the Asus 1000HE:

Audio out and video out work, but are a little flaky (somewhat like the trackpad that sometimes requires a restart to get the drivers to load properly). Audio out is quiet (use Audieee to change to headphones), and video out required a little unplugging and replugging. Otherwise, works fine.

Installation is ridiculously easy: you DO NOT NEED to hack anything, you do NOT require familiarity with Terminal, you do NOT need a hacked version of OSX, and you do NOT need to be a pirate.

Buy a copy of OSX and install using a decent Dell Mini guide (get the DellEFI from Google Code).

Apparently most or all of the SSD options work with sleep now. You should opt for a 16GB or higher, though, as the initial OS X install is pretty big.

I have one with a 16GB SSD and the 1.3MP webcam, and it works well, using the Gizmodo how-to and some updated SD card reader drivers.

@FULCHIERO

I believe Windows XP Home licensing for netbook class computers has *maximum* specs, before the vendor must pay more, for a "full-power" laptop or desktop license. So for now, 1GB memory and 16GB drive is the max you can order, if you buy Windows from Dell with the machine.

If you're really brave enough to install OSX, you probably wouldn't mind having Linux as your "fall-back", right? The only reason to get Windows is: if you will need to follow the USB stick drive installation method, and don't have any other Windows machine to do the Windows-specific formatting required. Otherwise the Dell's default OS doesn't matter because you take it back to a bare machine and boot from the Apple DVD.

#120 – 6:45 PM March 19, 2009

ANON, thanks for the useful feedback on both points. The first is interesting, but why not just pass the extra cost on to the consumer? The 16 GB seems a bit anemic, unless you are just web surfing and cloud computing.

On the second, I think my supervisors want a Win netbook if OSX does not work well...so I'll just have to trust it does!

I do know, to answer one of the posts above, that the Mini10 uses a different series Atom processor (the Z530, which is one of the oldest and slowest of the Atoms) than most of the compatible netbooks (which use the N2xx, and the N280 version is faster and much more battery-efficient). As much as I like the Mini 10 upgrades, it has the worst processor, unless that is upgraded as well. I LOVE that it has the HDMI video output.

Also, MSI has a couple of new Winds, including the 120-series, with the N280 Atom, which seems like the best current option.

The "current" Dell Mini10 is NOT a good target for becoming a "hackintosh" because, besides using one of the oldest Atom processors, they also threw in the GMA500 graphics chipset, which Apple has never supported.

The "new" Mini10v MAY be a good target, since it supposedly includes both a newer Atom processor, and the GMA950 chipset (same as the Mini9) which Apple HAS supported in the past, meaning the community wouldn't need to write a graphic driver from scratch to make it work.

This doesn't address the other hardware (WebCam, Sound, WiFi, ethernet, SD Card Reader?, etc), although a fair amount of research into Dell hardware has already happened because of the Mini9.

As soon as they ARE actually shipped, chances are that the MyDellMini.com community will be looking at them to see if we have a new option for an OSX86 laptop. :)

Then re-instll the Broadcom drivers, reboot and you're good to go. Webcam works!

Have you guys never heard of using different symbols instead of just different colors? The red diamonds are almost impossible to tell apart from the green diamonds for us red-green colorblind folk. Try running your table through the checker at www.vischeck.com to see how difficult it is. Wouldn't it be so much easier to quickly tell the difference between "works" and "doesn't work" if you just used, say, green check marks vs. red x-es? Any non-colorblind people have trouble reading the table too?

Eee PC 701 4G works with OS X 10.5.5 installed on USB External drive, and should work on USB stick or SDHC. The only thing that doesn't work is the headphone jack out, but that's easy enough to overcome with USB headphones. Oh, BTW, I did have to swap wifi card with the Dell one, 1390 I think it was. A USB wifi Mac compatible dongle works just as well. I am very pleased.

#173 – 11:37 AM May 22, 2009

From Wikipedia:

Mac OS X 10.4 supports the GMA 950, since it was used in previous revisions of the MacBook (but not MacBook Pro) and even some 17-inch iMacs.[52] It has been used in all Intel-based Mac minis (until Mac Mini released on March 3, 2009).[53] Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard contains drivers for the GMA X3100, which were used in a recent revision of the MacBook range.[54]

Late-release versions of Mac OS X 10.4 also support the GMA 900 due to its use in the Apple Developer Transition Kit, which was used in the PowerPC-to-Intel transition. However, special modifications to the kext file must be made to enable Core Image and Quartz Extreme.

Although the new MacBook line no longer uses the X3100, Mac OS X 10.5 ships with drivers supporting it that require no modifications to the kext file.

Is there any way you could make a version of this chart that a color blind person can use. I may be a knowledgeable geek, but if I can't tell the difference between the green, yellow, or any other color that may be there, it is hard to take advantage of your info.

In my experiences, the Wind is the easiest to mod and the only netbook that comes close to a real mac. I know it has that cheap plastic feel to it. But that trackpad with the almost single button feel is the most mac like out of all the netbooks out there.

Plus, the audio does work. Well, at least the headphone port. Also my webcam works on both Photoshop and iChat via the Retail Boot-132 method [Easiest way to install]

I own 27 Macs, I use my Hackintosh the most. Which can give you an idea on how stable it is.

Plus, you have the great support of the msiwind.net forums. You can get an answer to any problem you might encounter along the way. That place has sure gotten me out of a few pickles usually within 5 minutes or so of searching.

My opinion, the MSi Wind hands down FTW.

Have had great success installing OX 10 on NC10 through alternative means using a lot of the gizmos out there. Doesn't use slipstreamed OS or Retail DVD and doesn't require reformatting the original factory install on the NC10 - simply creating a new FAT partition and then restoring an image from a MacOS install located on an external USB HDD using a Leopard upgrade DVD to load Disk Utility. All this enabled with the DellMiniBoot123 on DVD to crank up the Leopard disk.

After installing various tweaks from Greg's Wind Driver pack and Stuart Shelton's adapted NC10 Audioeee I have correct resolution, all usb ports, touchpad, bluetooth, control over sound output, onboard camera. Upgrade to 10.5.7 gave me Ethernet connectivity and a Dell 1490 Wifi card got me wireless. I boot into MacOs using a Darwin bootloader on a USB flash drive. I can boot into Windows as normal (don't do it much now)

Video and audio work great in iTunes but I can also watch perfect TV via a UDB Terratec Cinergy and Elgato Eye TV.

Have not tried Video out yet or onboard mic and the fan tends to switch on quite often.

Samsung NC10 now has working Ethernet, although without hex-editing or manually setting the MAC address on each boot, the hardware address is always 11:22:33:44:55.

Audio output works on the NC10 with the Azalia driver, but a separate program is needed to switch between the headphone jack and the internal speakers. The VoodooHDA driver supports the hardware better, but currently corrupts badly after sleep.

Sleep has never been a problem for the NC10, and it's been 100% stable - but this does depend on the installation method used and what extensions are present. I use an EFI install - with others, YMMV.

1.start your system and hold the #2 key when you see the dell logo on the screen, this will take you into bios setup
2. use your arrow keys to goto the "Advance" tab
3. use arrow key and go to "USB BIOS Legacy Support", press enter and select "Disable"
4. use arrow keys to open the "Exit" tab, and choose "Exit Saving Changes"

Sleep also works with one change to the BIOS settings. I don't think that's "inordinate."

Audio works great with the VoodooHDA audio drivers. This is a separate install but they're easy to find and it takes less than a minute to do it; also not "inordinate."

Change the X to an Orange O for wireless on the Acer Aspire One as well and the ASUS 1000HE. Wireless works fine by adding a compatible wifi card. The Acer was easy, the ASUS was more difficult.

Hi Guys,

maybe we should start a wiki, then we can edit the chart by ourself an collect all important links at one place, including, video tutorials, file-links, how tos, etc. I think this overview isn't updated fast enough.

What do You think?

Since Dell A90 is the same as Mini 9, the page should refect A90 as being available and a prefer choice over the MSI 120. Mini 9 is still available via the dell outlet.

This is great - thanks! All your top-rated devices have HDD. I am wanting one with solid state drive for travel, but still want to install Mac OS X. Will the solid state versions of the top units, like the HP 110w/16G solid state, for example, handle the Mac OS X as well as the HDD version?

It seems that the Verizon HP Mini 1151NR is based on the Mini 10v as it has GMA950 video. That is great. Should there be any problems with the 3G modem?

I just realized that the post I submitted a few minutes ago is complete and utter nonsense. I somehow got Dell and HP swapped around in my brain. Sorry for that

I would like to underline that installing a copy of OS X on a NON Apple machine is illegal (as per Apple's EULA) regardless the fact it is a legal copy or not.

Simon,

Didn't years ago Apple came out with some software that allowed it to run Windows and Microsquish threaten Mac users with the same rhetorics ?

So any word yet on whether the Vostro A90 is as compatible across the board as the Inspiron Mini 9?
