I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has had success in getting OSX to run on a Chromebook. So far googling for "Chromebook hackintosh" doesn't look promising.

The same way Apple has come out with its 'C' line of iPhones which I assume are cheaper, I see an enormous opportunity to do the same with their Macs.
Imagine a $250 Macbook.
- hkmurakami 13y agoone reason why the "c" line of iPhones came out is because consumers now see iPhones and Android phones as virtual substitutes. even within the more tech savvy crowd I see many peers switching between one and the other, in both directions. I see this far less with Macs, and so I question the substitutionality of Macs with other computing options for most of its consumers. (that being said I use all three major PC operating systems)

- prodigal_erik 13y agoThe only good part about Macs is the UI. There used to be Mac clones made with commodity hardware, but they sold so well they threatened Apple's ridiculously inefficient margins. Apple's supply chain isn't as bad now, but if all you want is a browser there's no reason to get it from them.
