Hackintoshes are fun projects, I've made a few of them. Where they fall apart, though, is updates. If you're prepared to stay on the same OS X version or want to take the risk of something breaking, I highly recommend this kind of project.<p>If you're looking for something that will smoothly update like the Mac mini does (set it and forget it) then Hackintosh is really not for you. I recommend a used Mac mini, which you can get for a good price on craigslist.
I have been running hacktinoshes as my daily drivers since 2011. Certainly there are trade offs, but I am surprised I don't see more love for them here on HN given Apple's recent lackluster hardware offerings.
If only there was a good-looking laptop...<p>I'm considering buying the MacBook Pro (without their retarded touchbar), but it costs over 1900EUR.<p>I would really love it if I could reliably run macOS on cheaper hardware.
