The guys over at Micro PC Talk have had Mac OS X running on the VAIO UX series [Portal page] for some time now, but a recent video by MPCT forum user perrin21 shows a UX390 running the latest version of Apple’s OS X pristinely. Perrin21 added a few nice mods to his UX390 [Portal page], including a draft-N WiFi card to connect to his/her Airport Extreme, and an Mtron SSD. Everything else on the unit is stock. The video demonstrates the general responsiveness of the OS on the unit and a fully functional, and calibrated, touchscreen. There is some web browsing action, a demo of Boxee, and Front Row, all appearing to work beautifully on the UX390. Not bad for someone who wants OS X in their pocket, am I right? Catch the video below:

Cool stuff!
The UX line has always interested me. I hope they keep the design series alive and introduce another model in the UX form factor.
Having, as I do, a Hackintosh Netbook – I guess the next step would be a UMMac
I have the MSI wind running OSX with 802.11N and 1GB ram , i ordered the touchscreen conversion from Japan but when fitting it, it was cracked very slightly and is non functional. Im waiting for the replacement to arrive.
sorry make that 2gb ram lol
Please, how does one order a 2gb ram?
I thought the ram was soldered on the motherboard.
Oh, das ist doch gar nicht erlaubt http://tinyurl.com/pndku9 Max OS X auf’m Sony Vaio UX390 ! Elende Hackerbrut ;-) Flutscht richtig gut.

Does it run PowerPoint 2004 for presentations via VGA-out port?
Hi all, thanks for posting my video. Glad you liked it. Ive been overwhelmed by the response and traffic. VGA out from dock works great. Like a mac mini into an external monitor. when its docked it just re-diverts the image to the external display.
take a look at my Touch Screen OSX HTPC project. I feel its even more impressive than the UX.
