I remember having the UX180P and 280P, and the battery life was the most depressing part of it. Sucked the cells dry within 90-140 minutes flat. I'd get this again in a heartbeat if they could at least double it without doubling the size or weight of the unit.
Can anyone tell me what program is used to make the boot menu? I suspect it is linux based. Right now I have Windows 7, I get a boot menu asking me if I want to run Windows 7 or a previous version of windows.
@STiger: I'm going to guess that it's because you've been living under a rock, or at least you were a few years ago when these things were being talked up.
Technically you can't break support of something when it was never listed in the spec requirements or even installed on said hardware officially to begin with :P
That's like saying an iTunes update broke support of the Palm Pre.
@Kaiser-Machead: You can support something unintentionally. And just with most unintentional supports they are likely to break. Apple just took a hammer to it. By Steve-thars hammer, by the suns of Woz, you shall be avenged!
I don't know why Apple bothers, it isn't like they exactly lose money when people privately make their own hackintoshes. Especially if people go through the effort to legitimately buy their discs.
This post is erroneous. the Flash plugin does not support the Intel GMA950 graphics chipset that the Wind (and many other netbooks) run. The chipset does not even have the hardware to support it. So, it is probably in your head that you saw performance. Supported chipsets are Nvidia 8/9/100/200 series and the newer ones from ATI (don't remember the exact models). #flash101hacktintosh
@George_P: Read the post. I didn't say it's hardware acceleration, I said the improvements are most likely through better CPU usage. #flash101hacktintosh
@Danny Allen: Hi Danny. Do we have information from Adobe that the new version improves the CPU usage when no hardware acceleration is supported by the GPU? Tests will have to be run to measure whether there is an actual improvement or not. We have the same MSI model/specs (U100 with 2GB ram). I tested it on both Win7 and MacOSX and didn't see any difference compared to the previous version of Flash. #flash101hacktintosh
@Danny Allen: I realize this doesnt have a ton to do with this topic but I just ordered a dell mini 10v to install OSX on and and it had the option to upgrade the CPU to the 1.66 atom 280 from the 1.60 270 for $25 would there be a noticeable difference in performance on flash and such? or is the difference insignificant? #flash101hacktintosh
@ImAmac93: I'd get the upgrade for sure, but I doubt you'll get much difference in performance. Honestly, I wouldn't be basing any hardware buying decisions on a lil' extra CPU usage...wait and see if Apple lets Adobe give Mac Flash 10.1 GPU-acceleration...then buy an Nvidia Ion-based netbook ;) #flash101hacktintosh
@Danny Allen: but would a nvidia ion based netbook be as compatible with snow leopard as the dell mini 10v? I was under the impression that the 10v was still the best bet for hackintosh hardware support and functionality.. #flash101hacktintosh
@ImAmac93: Maybe "best bet for ease of setup", but if you're buying today (or black friday) I'd still grab a netbook with Ion. The Ion-powered HP Mini 311 Hackintosh has everything working but sound at the moment ([myhpmini.com]), and that may have been fixed already. #flash101hacktintosh

MacBook Pro, late 2006 (ATI x1600). I go to watch a Youtube video and I'd say about half of the frames drop.
