gypsywitch Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've made a hackintosh before with a netbook years ago, but I'm trying to get this new Toshiba ultrabook to run OSX. Which version would actually run on it? I've tried booting from the 10.8 disc, but it freezes on the apple logo screen and does nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get rid of Windows 8.1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1111 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 What is the full specs and what is your Installer ? Your CPU is this one Intel® Cor i5-4200U ? if yes ; its Haswell cpu, you need 10.8.5 or later OS X 10.9 for this cpu . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, will installing Mac OS X on a x86 use resources better, or is it just for kicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
