avin7000 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Been 4 years, I am using a Hackintosh laptop. It has become old and may die anytime. Now I am wondering whether to buy a new MBP or go with Hackintosh route again. I am pretty sure many of you have been in my shoes. So tell me, what did you do?

Allan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Surely I would buy a MacBook. Of course preferably a MBP Retina. Stability is incomparable. What I have to think about is price. In Brazil the Apple devices is a very unfair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Brazil the Apple devices is a very unfair price. Even in India also. The prices are really unfair. But problem is there are no cheaper laptops which have good screens/config, like you get in USA. You either get a cheaper laptop which comes with mediocre screen and okayish config Or you spend you a lot to get a good gaming laptop, which comes with graphics card and all. Now if you are not a gamer (like me), you won't have any choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The situation is sad for both of us then. But if you will buy a Laptop for Hackintosh, i recommend Lenovo or Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specific model in Leonvo which has a really good screen? Problem is my laptop (Dell XPS) has RGBLED screen and every other screen just looks meh. Dell has discontinued such screens.

Allan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I use Lenovo G480, is very simple model. The specs is: i5-3210M | 8GB 1600MHz | HD 4000 | Audio - Cx20590 | Wifi - AR9285 | Network - Atheros AR8162 Everything works OOB (yes OOB), the only thing that doesn't work is the card reader. But for me is not a big deal. I plan to buy an SSD in the future, so everything will be fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codinger Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Nice! If one day I had the same opportunity as you, I'd buy a MacBook for me too. But if you go to school you have no money and you stick with a 2010 laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
