Re: [H] OSX on Intel
Can't attest to how good it is, but you might want to check out this site: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Parts of it don't seem to have been updated lately, but there ARE hardware compatibility lists.

Why do they lock out features in the first place? Greg Sevart wrote: The Verizon model will come crippled - no bluetooth DUN or file transfer. If you don't care about those sort of things then it will be fine. These can be re-enabled if they're deal-breakers, if you're a bit enterprising. Re-enabling DUN over BT on my Verizon E815 was as simple as typing in a few characters...and there's loads of people that have enabled file transfer. Greg
