HP Mini 311 Hackintosh Guide 10.6.8

I just finished installing OS X 10.6.8 on my Mini 311-1037NR . Below are some of my observations-

1. Using the tutorial found here, I have a usable system.
2. Having to use Snow Leopard again kinda sucks. I’m using Lion on my Macbook Pro.
3. Purchases in the App Store are no longer compatible with 10.6. iWork and iLife require a 64-bit processor or 10.7 (Lion). 
4. Trim is not supported in Snow Leopard so using my SSD is probably not a good idea.
5. Still some issues with sleep and there is no audio over HDMI. Both are known issues. Don’t expect a fix ever because development has stopped for this laptop.

If you don't currently have a Mac you can still make a bootable Snow Leapord USB Stick using Windows and Transmac! *Make sure your prepare your usb stick with diskpart. The instructions are halfway down this page.


Update 10/14/13-
The Hackintosh Mini 311 is still running great. Only issues to report are with iWork not reading MS Office documents and reduced battery life. The reduced battery life stinks. I went from a max of 5 hours with Windows 7 to just 2.5 hours with Snow Leopard. There is also an issue with crunchy audio over Bluetooth but it's not a deal killer since I typically use my iPhone for that.
