Hi, today is June 25 2010 ... I wonder if you check back to see if anyone asks you a quesion? about this video posted Oct 09. I bought a Dell mini 9 w/UBUNTU & I wonder if you can answer a question about it ? my e-mail is : dn_ld.id733 @ yahoo . com
Or maby you could talk my thru a problem using SKYPE ? Is that possible?
@UltimateitemHacker it has a 16 GB SSD which is the stock SSD that came with the Dell, it's a pretty slow SSD from a read/write rate, so if you put a faster SSD in there the performance would totally jump. Good Luck!
It runs iLife pretty well. My buddy actually installed VM Fusion on it and runs Windows XP off a USB hard drive and it seems to work pretty well. I've also installed iWork 09 on it and it runs pretty well also. I haven't tried any other Mac software tho. But if you're thinking about doing any kind of gaming on this forget it not nearly powerful enough to do it. This is really for web browsing, emailing, web cam stuff, and some light word processing and spreadsheets.
Which set of instructions did you follow? I have the exact same machine as you and am planning on doing this tomorrow, but there are a TON of slightly different instructions out there.
Yes it download music and other files fast, but you'll want to store it on an external drive/thumb drive/SD Card, because I only have a 16 gig SSD if you get a 32 or 64 you should have plenty of space.
I'm not sure I haven't tried but it seems like it's not that difficult. Just do a google search for mydellmini and they have tons of guides on how to do it.
It was really easy go to google and do a search for mydellmini and this other guy Mechdrew who also did a very nice walkthru guide, it's what I did to do it.
It works better than my late 2009 macbook FUCK IT

@KeshnerfFilms If you buy the mac os($129) it is technically legal, but it voids the eula
and they can't tell that you did it if u replace the ssd

man, this looks FANTASTIC XD What size SSD does it use? I will probably buy the 8gb model then upgrade it myself.
Thanks

What's the battery life like on the Mini 9 with OS X on it?

@Encrypt1on It's good for about 3 hours of surfing and word processing, so not too bad, but not great either, and it runs pretty hot!

If i wanted to add an extra hd on it what should i get?
RebelStrat1 2 years ago
If you're talking about an external HD then all you would need is to get any USB 2.0 external HD.
