Flickr user Mickphoto has put up a couple of extensive photosets showing how he hacked an MSI Wind to turn it into an Apple “netbook” he calls the MacBook Nano.
Many have expressed a desire for a small, super-portable Apple notebook and Mickphoto’s creation has a certain je ne sais quoi that’s sure to get the notice of Apple enthusiasts – if not the Apple legal department – and keep the netbook conversation going.
Click on a few shots in the gallery below and visit Mickphoto’s Flickr pages for more. Is this Apple evangelism, a labor of love, or is it over-the-top? Let us know your thoughts about the MacBook Nano in comments.

The black ones good. The white one sucks
I like them. I would love to see a low priced small ultraportable. I cant justify spending all that money on an air, but would like something portable and light also.
they’re pretty slick. if apple made one, i’d get one.
Hopefully, this Macinhack and a number of others on the web will inspire Apple to bring out their own model. The size would be perfect for someone wanting something lighter than the standard laptop.
Have to admit, that’s pretty swanky. :)
I like the white one. The black always seemed to me a more “pc-like” notebook.
I think if I HAD to buy a pc, I’d install Mac OS X in it, even with the update problems.. anything’s better than Windows.
(When I say “if I had to buy a pc” I mean if I had to use only this tipe of computers at work, or if I desperately needed a tiny tiny tiny netbook to travel with. However, I’d do my best to buy a mac, with no complains.)
To me it IS a labor of love! It’s like dressing your kid as a jedi in his second birthday because you are a fan of star wars..
Last comment: my personal opinion on a possible Macbook Nano is: there won’t be a macbook nano. It will be a smaller version of the macbook air, costing more-or-less like a macbook, but with a 9 inch display and a processor slower than my grandma.
It’s like the iPod: in 2001, it costed 500 bucks, and it held only 1000 songs. Today, the nano holds 2000 songs and costs 150 bucks, but there’s the classic that holds a lot more and costs a lot more and the shuffle that holds almost nothing and costs almost nothing.
Want.
Cool. I might make one myself.
