Dear Sirs and Madams,

Has anyone tried to get OS 10.4 or 10.5x working on this notebook and had success (or negatively foreboding experiences)?

I checked the compatibility list linked under the title 'HCL' and didn't see anything to suggest panther or tiger might be workable on this notebook. Maybe I'm missing something..

I was hoping to purchase a IBM/Lenovo notebook with the aim of running Logic sporadically for work purposes. I realize this may be a longshot as far as running mac-exclusive, audio-editing software on a hackintosh set-up. OS 10.5 vs. 10.4 is really a non-issue for me. Apple notebook durability is untrustworthy in my experience, and I'd probably just run windows solely if I'm unable to work out an osx86 solution.

Does anyone have recommendations for a current Lenovo that might work?

Thank you in advance, and I would like to also apologize if this is an inappropriate first post at the site.

Best--

Please post your full specs

Specs::

Intel® Core™2 Duo T9600 (2.80 GHz, 6MB L2, 800 MHz FSB)
Windows Vista Business
14.1" WXGA+ (1440 X 900) TFT, w/ CFL Backlight
3 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory
160GB, 5400RPM Serial ATA 2.5" Drive
DVD RAM/RW Combo Drive
Intel® WiFi Link 5300 (3x3 AGN)
ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 with 256MB

Everything looks great, but theres no full support for your video card

Thanks very much for the information. I guess I will hold off on the purchase and wait to see if anyone comes out with drivers for the Mobility Radeon or Intel x4500 cards. Might just wait for windows 7 or something.
