Elliott Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The difference here is that OS X never ran on AMD chips. It did run unmodified on Atoms. What they've done here is deliberately block support for the chip. Actually, it seems like they upgraded the kernel and didn't bother to upgrade their Atom drivers because they didn't have any Atom chips in their systems.

KeeperOfThePizza Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 The PC's sold in that price range are crap too. lol how do you figure? I have a old Dell Inspiron 1525 that's almost 3 years old and still runs great... Most of the reason why you see cheap PC Laptops is they've downscaled the performance (not quality), plan on paying more for a laptop that has Intel Core2 Duo with 4GBs of RAM and a hard drive over 160GB.

Subject Delta Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 They were never used. Show me a hardware made by Apple that use the ATOM CPU? No? Well, no need to keep supporting it. Who will it harm? Hackers? Who cares! Irrelevant. The fact is the code was there for them to work before, and it isn't now, which makes your argument that it just magically stopped working null and void because the code was obviously purposely removed.
