Re: Nice story about running OS X on a Dell Mini 9 on XLR8yourmac.com - Robert M - 04-20-2009 C(-)ris, You know full well that is not what the author of the article is trying to tell us. That line was intended to show the Dell Mini 9 was a capable netbook that could be mistaken for an actual Apple computer when Os X is installed on it. The Dell Mini 9 is that nice as compared to other netbooks. Robert Re: Nice story about running OS X on a Dell Mini 9 on XLR8yourmac.com - C(-)ris - 04-20-2009 The author should have said: "Now you see why the Dell mini 9 is capturing so much attention ...It's a Mac Netbook ..." I knew what he probably meant, but I bet most non technical people would have no clue and would read it the way he wrote it and take that meaning.

The dell mini is a very different creature. I wouldn't put it into the same category as a macbook at all.

It might be enough to convince those who want one but are unsure of its performance.

Neither the author nor I are putting the Dell Mini 9 in the same class as a Macbook. If Apple sold the Dell Mini 9 with an Apple name, you'd be calling it a Macbook in the same way that an IPod Nano is still an ipod but not in the same class as for the sake of argument an iPod Touch. Just a Macbook "mini" or whatever Apple deemed it. Robert Re: Nice story about running OS X on a Dell Mini 9 on XLR8yourmac.com - MacArtist - 04-20-2009 Article Accelerator wrote: It's not. The only key that's a problem for me is the apostrophe key. How they came up with the placement for that is beyond me.

But I do see your point and agree.
