I wanted a Mac so that I can run XCode to develop iOS devices. I have a 13 inch White Macbook with Snow Leopard but I do not want to upgrade to Mountain Lion (ML) yet. But the cheapest Macbook Air is about $600 (used), which has Core 2 Duo. I even thought about buying a new PC and make it to Hackintosh. It's also about the same cost and more trouble to configure and it's not perfect. So I decided to go with the VMWare rouote. The laptops I have are powerful enough to run Mac VM on top of Windows 7 hosts. Download VMWare image from http://www.souldevteam.net/blog/downloads/ Ref http://www.sysprobs.com/easily-run-mac-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-retail-on-pc-with-vmware-image Download XCode from Apple Dev Site. Xcode from AppStore on ML did not work. I installed XCode and now I have a iOS development machine. The performance is not great but it works.
