Outspoken
I've seen people selling used PC (Intel) netbooks that are "hacked" to run the Mac OS X. Ca I simply buy an Asus, etc netbook and just install the Mac OS?
Answer
It's a bit more complicated than that. But more or less, yes.
I've done a couple hackintoshes before. It generally takes lots of patience and a good bit of technical expertise (or at least troubleshooting ability). But if you're game, and you're willing to spend 10-20 hours tweaking settings, reinstalling, failing, and trying again, then check out:

It's an excellent resource with lots of how-to guides. If you're willing to buy a netbook for this express purpose, then look there first and see if there are any netbooks that are particularly osx friendly. Laptops are generally easier than desktops because they have a defined set of hardware so, chances are, someone has already figured out the appropriate settings and posted them. So you may have a lot more luck than I did.
However, even so, there's often little quirks. For instance, on my Dell Inspiron 600m, I had no wired internet and no hardware graphics acceleration (so things were a bit clunky). Though everything else worked pretty well (including WiFi). So I was able to use it for iPhone development for a while. But I gave up and bought a MacBook Pro later on because it was a huge pain to stay updated. So maybe things are a bit easier now.
Good luck!

I'm a everyday computer user, and I want a MacBook pro, is it a good laptop?

I'm not a gamer, but I don't mind playing simple games once in awhile and I surf the Internet watch videos on YouTube, and I like making music for fun so guitar band would be cool. Is a Mac a good choice?
Answer
As long as you're not a gamer and don't mind spending 3 times the money on a MacBook, it's a great choice.
I personally wouldn't buy one, because they are extremely overpriced for their hardware. I'm a gamer too, that's not why I wouldn't buy one, I just couldn't stomach paying a huge overpriced fee for something I know could be bought retail for thousands of dollars less.
The Operating System is absolutely beautiful though. I don't care what anyone tells you, as someone who works and lives completely in the worlds of computers with a list of certs a mile long and a Bach. in Computer Science.... the Mac OS is just amazing. Their utilization of that overpriced hardware is a work of art and their simplistic user interface designed for people who really don't know much about computers, while still built on a Unix core allowing power users access to the types of things we need and want, is just astounding.
When/if they finally make a Mac OS that will run on non-proprietary hardware, they may not kill Windows but, they will definitely take more than a considerable chunk out of their market percentage. (Hackintosh doesn't count)
