Yes u can install OS X LEOPARD on your laptop but u can't do it easily since OS X is for macs and for using them on a Windows powered PC,u have to use some hacks to install it.
It's not recommended to install OS X on a windows powered PC because even if u do it,it won't perform as well as it does on Macs also there will be some driver issues too

If you want to run a Mac OS, why don't you just buy a Mac?
Oh, wait, I guess it is because they are hugely overpriced, highly overrated, and there are 10 times more programs and apps made for PC's than there are Macs. Sorry, what was your question? Something about running a Mac OS on a PC, why would you want to do that? So all those programs written for your PC won't work any more?

You can't just buy an OSX disk and install it, if that's what you're asking. It is possible to get it to work, with some effort, but IMHO, it's not worth the effort. Win7 is better anyways.

It is possible to run OSX on a normal Intel C2D/C2Q and later PCs quite easily (imo). I had it installed on my E2180 build for like a month before I got fed up with it.

Ubunto 9.04 also works well for just surfing the net, and some folks run it in a dual boot mode. It's free; don't know how it compares to windows for security.

^ :lol: Linux > Windows when it comes to Security 90% of the time. I'm not a fan of Ubuntu but it's a good distro for starters. I prefer Fedora and Suse and sometimes Solaris.
