I am in the market for a real simple netbook whose main -- almost only purpose -- is to run Skype. In other words I am looking for a video telephone. Ideally an OS X powered one. The MacBook Air is beautiful, but it costs an arm and a leg.
One of the most OS X compatible netbooks made so far seems to be Dell Mini 10v. The Mac OS X Netbook Compatibility Chart on myMacNetbook.com states that all hardware features such as sound, sleep, audio, wireless, ..., work. The only problem is that you cannot buy a new Mini 10v anymore.
The current low-end netbook on the dell.nl is the Inspiron 1018. Yes, cheap it is.
Despite having not seen any success stories, I ordered one. Well, I didn't get very far and ended up installing Linux. If anyone had more success, I would love to hear from you.
