Its spelled "Hackintosh" and is a non-Apple PC that is hacked to be able to run Mac OS X.
I am assuming pear computers are hackintoshes. It's to the point that the apple logo is replaced with a pear.
I was spelling phonetically. Sorry. I am assuming pear computers are hackintoshes. It's to the point that the apple logo is replaced with a pear.

No they are not considered hackintoshes
Were you by chance watching the disney channel to see those pear computers?
No. I saw it online, I actually can't remember what I was doing to get the pear thing.No they are not considered hackintoshes

I don't believe it was walt who glamorized pear computing. That was always Nickelodeons territory, specifically iCarly:

always sort of seemed like an inside joke reference to the "dev team" with their pineapple.
It's a PC with a Hacked Version of OSX Installed, However, It's nothing like a Mac... Starting with the world "Reliability"
It's actually worse than having a PC with 7.

You're wrong, my i7-930 is very reliable. Where did you get that little tidbit of info and would you care to back it up with actual facts?
I'm using top grade components, better in some cases then apple's, the design and reliability of my hackintosh is superb.
I have 2 hackintoshs in my house, both of which are rock solid. If you are smart enough to buy hardware that is known to work it will be a breeze, but you cant expect to pull anything off the shelf and have it work.
Well there you go then!
So basically no laptop on the planet is capable of being a Hackb00k
A good deal of netbooks work great though. I recently picked up a Dell Vostro A90 (corporate version of the Dell Mini 9) and it works flawlessly, just had to install a microphone driver to get that working so I could video chat, everything else worked perfectly straight away. And the install was honestly easier than any linux install I've ever done. It makes for an excellent portable Mac as it is so light and small. Been using it for a while as my travel laptop, and has been as solid as any full blooded Mac I've owned.
I have real facts, i have a Core i7-920 System, It was pretty unreliable, just to get it working i had to install it 3 times and some minimal changes stopped it from working at all, I guess that if you are the kind of person that understands how all of that works it will work well for you, but 90% of the Mac buyers pay the premium for the Premium hardware and support
