Have you ever used a $300 Dell laptop? Ick. :-)
You can force Intel OS X to run on non-Apple Intel hardware, the
problem is drivers. Since laptops tend to use proprietary hardware,
OS X's more "generic" driver set is not going to do much for you on a
cheapo Dell-top. So you might make it run, but you won't have sound,
you won't have LAN, you won't have native video support, etc.
If you're looking for a cheap OS X laptop, Pismos are still great!
Not exactly slim and trim like Duos / 2400s, but still, viable
machines. FWIW, I picked up a 12" G4 for under 700 bucks on eBay
earlier in the year, and it's a great little machine.

Hello Duos! Just curious:
Now that MacOS is running on Intel, why can't it run all that
cheap IBM-compat hardware out there? I know it can't be
simple, but I hear they already hacked the iPhone to accept
other networks, so...where's my $300 Leopard laptop?
