In the comments to our OSX-netbook compatibility chart, folks pointed out that evidence for OSX on the HP Mini 2133 is … lacking. It’s been shoehorned onto other non-Intel systems, but no-one seems to have replicated the feat here. The thread where people are bickering over it contains this fantastic post, from “:
I installed Leopard on my Philishave HQ-5426. Since it doesn’t contain a video card, harddisk, Intel instruction set, or RAM it was a bit of a challenge. You’re probably all curious about how I managed to install a consumer OS on a pocket shaver, but – sorry – this is just a teaser. I don’t have the energy right now to explain how I did it.
Quantum interactions between pubic hair and triple-head shaving blades = turing machine. Boot time: 7 universes.
Other amusing photoshops are in the hp2133 Guide forums.
pubic?
He did say it’s a “pocket shaver”.
And, yes, I know it says ‘public’, but I read ‘pubic’ on the first pass, too.
For the record: My face runs one cycle of a 128 bit operating system every 1 to 3 days, depending on how lazy my grooming habits are.
Ever since I started working for Phillips I’ve been in love with the Philishave HQ-5426. My favorite feature is how the built in projector works as a touch screen. I love how stubbly it is. It’s awesome!
Yeah, the damn proprietary blades cost a fortune to replace though.
OSX? I’m still not convinced that anyone’s gotten Vista to work on the 2133…
(and for the record – I do love my 2133. I’m just dumbfounded they decided on vista as the OS.)

…Ok, really impress me now: get OSX to run on a blender, a shop vac, and an electric carving knife.
