darkcosmos Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I recently purchased this laptop from Amazon, and I've not been an active member of the OSx86 Community for a few years due to incompatible laptop. I was just wondering if this particular laptop is capable of running Lion/Mountain Lion? Ill prove as much information as I can: Brand: Sony Vaio SVE1511L1EW.CEK Processor Type: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz Memory: 4 GB Computer Memory Type: DDR3 SDRAM Graphics Card: Intel® HD Graphics 3000 If this system can handle Lion/Mountain Lion, what would be the best method to get it installed? (iAtkos etc) Many thanks for any help offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkcosmos Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply, is there a way to do it without having to have a mac available to me? If no, I'll see if I can use my mums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkcosmos Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks again, I've managed to use a mac and have followed the tutorial word for word, but when booting the USB, I get to the apple screen, the wheel turns for about 1 minute then I get a grey cross, any ideas? EDIT: I've also followed this tutorial, same problem still occurs after about 1 minute: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=282045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
