And why convert a netbook or cheap laptop? Wouldn't it struggle with only 1GB? Though Mac haven't got anything like a 10.1" netbook.... and I suppose you can add extra memory cheaply as I did with my little macbook.

from a number of people for whom the "hackintosh" process did not go
nearly as smoothly as it's being portrayed here. I can see the point if
you need to do minor testing on a Mac and want to just boot existing
hardware rather than have additional hardware, but it seems like a bad
idea for anything mission-critical.
I've never heard a report of anybody actually knocking on any doors;
though of course trying to get support from Apple would be a serious
mistake!
Of course, the fact that Apple doesn't like the idea is one of the only
things that makes it at all attractive to me! (non-fan of Apple here :-)
).
