Install OSX on PC Laptop?

BlackFores

Goal: I want to use Final Cut Pro with a Sony Vaio FW Laptop. I don't need Vista - what if I only install Leopard from Apple's disc?
Can I install Leopard on the Sony Vaio FW Laptop that I customized below on Sony's website?
Will this work?


Customized Sony Vaio FW 16.4" Laptop
--------------------------------------â¦
$2499.99
Intel® Core⢠2 Duo Processor T9900 (3.06GHz)
Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium 64-bit
Black
8GB DDR2-SDRAM (DDR2-800, 4GBx2)
128GB Solid State Drive
Blu-ray Disc⢠playback/burning
ATI Mobility Radeon⢠HD4650 graphics card with 1GB vRAM-great for games and movies
16.4" widescreen with XBRITE-FullHD⢠LCD technology (1920x1080)

I have nothing against Apple, I own a Macbook Pro. I just can't stand waiting for Apple to incorporate Blue ray disc players/burners and high resolution screens like on the Sony Vaio.

If your answer is "No" to my question, I understand. But, please don't tell me to get a new Macbook Pro - I have one right now. Recommend me any PC laptop that can run Mac OS Leopard that has equal or better specs than this Sony Vaio!!!! Or if your answer is "Yes" please share how I can do this. Thank You
Also, I only use Final Cut Pro - please don't told tell me to get some PC editing software.

What you are talking about is hackintoshing. I have a few links posted below to show you which Netbooks are best for hackintoshing. Currently, I do not recommend hackintoshing your Sony Vaio laptop because it could cause problems with the BIOS among other things.

What camcorder works with Mac and the HD quality can be viewed on my 1080 46 inch sony?

Shree P

Id like a camcorder. Couple year older is fine i can get it on ebay that records in HD and is compatible to download onto my Mac. AND that if I want I can burn onto a disc and watch them with HD quality on my 1080 Tv?
I would also like to edit the videos once downloaded so I can make movies so i want the software to be all recognized.

What is your budget?

Which Apple Macintosh?
The MacBook Air and some MacBooks have no firewire port so that takes miniDV tape camcorders off the table - but just for them. ALL other Macs made in the last 10 years have a firewire port. If the Mac is running OSX, has an Intel CPU and is running iMovie '08 or newer, then AVCHD camcorders will get along.

This gets the high definition video into the computer for editing...

Now for output...

Assuming you have a Blu Ray player connected to your HDTV, you should get a Blu Ray burner connected to your Mac... LaCie makes good ones...

Another option is to connect your Mac to the HDTV - no need to burn a disk. Or get a MacMini to be a media server. The new ones can connect using either HDMI or component (+ audio).

Which DVD player...
If you have only a regular DVD player, there is nothing you can do to *make* it play high definition video, so just use iDVD and have it downsample the high def video to standard def and render for you.

But you have not supplied enough information and we don't know what you have so we don't know if your specific environment is equipped to do what you want.

I've been capturing high definition video, importing to Macs, editing and playing back standard and high definition video for about five years... using Sony and Canon camcorders...
