Or does anybody know a notebook with similar specs? I think I will get a Samsung NC10, it looks really great and has good specs. Or does anybody know a notebook with similar specs?

In theory everything should go fine with the updated DSDT. I'm going to backup/clone my system before I try anything ;-) I'm just too chuffed with the state of my NC10 at the moment. I managed to get brightness control working. I followed the instructions on this thread: http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com/forum/t-91753/brightness-control "Hagglebeef" gives the right instructions on how to patch AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer to make it loose control over the LCD backlight. When the patch is done, you can set a register (legacy backlight control) of the Intel GMA950 graphics controller to manually set the backlight level via the command line. The backlight state is restored after waking up from sleep so no problem there as opposed by the description on the thread. I can send you my patched kext if you'd like. It's not pretty but it works very well - and battery life prediction just crossed the 6 hour mark with a fully charged battery! :-) Have you tried the 10.5.6 update yet?

It’s not pretty but it works very well – and battery life prediction just crossed the 6 hour mark with a fully charged battery! :-)

I've installed it alongside with efi_boot 6.1. I've read that netkas (http://netkas.org) has released PCEFI v9, another bootloader which supports hibernate as well. I might be tempted to try that at some point. For now I'm very happy how things are with my NC10. The only downsides are the sound output/input (I currently use a bluetooth headset for skype, works great!) and the keyboard. I've managed to make it a bit less annoying by remapping the # key where it is on the real keyboard. Let me know if you're interested - I can send you the layout. You said in one of your earlier comments that you found a working AppleDecrypt.kext - is that working as expected? I'd be still very keen on trying any kext combinations you come up with since you started to install OS X. Any chance you might be willing to share your current setup? By the way, I'm sure you know about this but Superhai's GenericCPUPowerManagement is a great way to control you Atom's frequency switching. (http://www.superhai.com/darwin.html) Hi Stuart,
