Install OS X via vmware first so you can setup the install USB to make it a bit easier. You can also get used to it a bit ;)

I will post how to setup and install once you have it installed on vmware.

I looked at specs on line that laptop could potentially run OSX without issues. Then again, im not sure what bluetooth it has and network card. Some on laptops are picky. I agree with Shane though, get virtualbox or Vm up and working, and put OSX on it to test drive before you jump.

i think Lion 10.7.x or Mountain Lion 10.8.x would be ideal to work with.

Mountain Lion should run no problem at all. If the wireless wont work you can pick up a Atheros AR5B91 cheap on eBay that works right away as apple use them. Bluetooth I will need the device and vendor ID and I could try make a kext for it unless a DSDT would work then Giin is the guy for that :)
