vladislav korotnev Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hello All, I'm looking for a laptop to buy for Hackintoshing, with a budget of $800. The primary use for it is Logic X, web surfing, Photoshop, sometimes occasional video editing. I have been looking through local catalogs to no avail, but most of the laptops out there carry AMD graphics nowadays which AFAIK don't work on OSX anymore? Maybe someone knows a good laptop under $800 that can run OSX and Logic well? Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I recommend you take a look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/search?q=flair%3A"success%21"&sort=hot&restrict_sr=on&t=year In some cases the users put the total price of their hacks, and you can get a idea.

vladislav korotnev Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Found a Dell N5110 locally, seems to suit my needs just fine, up to 10.11 too with a beefy 1TB HDD and 256Go SSD, exactly $600. Thanks for your help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hmmm, Intel HD 3000 it's not too good with macOS Sierra. Do a research about that. IMHO, I recommend you choose the Intel HD 4000 GPUs and up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somez Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 tluck has a pretty good guide on Lenovo T420 and also for T460 (HD 3000 and works well) for Sierra I highly recommend them, even though the T420 might be too old for you and the T460 might be too expensive. On another forum there is a very good guide for HP EliteBook 8470p (HD 4000) as well. My wife has that machine so I have experience with both and I can only recommend them. Just make sure you don't buy one with a Radeon or Nvidia discrete GPU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
