I know its a pc in a keyboard case but can you order it to run osx. Reason ask cause im a mac convert and honestly i havent ran back to windows in a minute for doing production, we only track to windows. So yeah just wanted to know can they rig it with osx thats all, if not then ill just stick to carrying my macbook around, P.E.A.C.E.!

not unless they announce something new at namm no, apple doesn't outsource its hardware or let others manufacture it so its pc only now.

YouTube - My Neko 64 Modified by me into Mac not IBM

Saw this the other day. This guy claims he converted his neko to a mac, but its hard to tell by just looking at the screen. These are cool for ultra rich producers, but A laptop and novation remote would be a WAY cheaper substitute.

its nothing more than a piece of very cool art. the whole point of the neko is the integration of the hardware with software (the midi knobs) and low latency, custom music drivers and simplified xp interface for faster performance than an off the shelf dell pc or something. when you go mac none of that stuff carries over as you're using mac os.
