Mac OS My little 'MacPad' S10

dafreaking · Mar 27, 2009

Got OSX running on my Ideapad S10..

(Sorry for the abysmal picture quality, took it from a phone in less than perfect conditions.)

Most of the stuff works, and I know it's not the same as a MAC but before i plunge a sizeable amount on one I need to see if the way OSX works suits me.

I have already checked out some of the stuff from this thread http://www.techenclave.com/mac-os/essential-mac-os-x-software-130748.html

Would love it if you guys have more recommendations + Tips & Tricks to get the most out of this.

Cheers.

Certain things don't work as of now..

LAN

Inbuilt Mic

Sleep is iffy (Need to 'hard' switch off bluetooth and sometimes there is no WiFi when it wakes up)

Funny thing is that it boots up and shuts down way faster than XP does on my system.

Still looking for a few appz tho.

1. A good RAR tool

2. Good replacement for uTorrent

3. FTP client
