Hackintosh laptop for Editing and VFX

30 December 2012 - 05:23 PM

Hello, I am new to the hackintosh world. I am a film studies student and I would like to build a hackintosh laptop basically for editing ( Final Cut Pro X and CS6 ) and some vfx - compositing (after effects , maya etc) . I have searched around the forums (here & elsewhere) but I haven't figured out if it a laptop is a hackintosh stable choise. I found several references for kernel panics or instability which could be a major problem for video editing which is heavy on resources. I have read here :

and ASUS G53JW - A1 seemed like a good choice. Fact is that a good GPU acceleration is need. I think nvidia is a good choice for both FCP and CS6.
So my questions are:

1) For about 1, 4000$ a hackintosh laptop is a good choise for the use mentioned?  Or maybe I should think of desktop instead ?
2) Has anybody build - used anything for similar purposes ?
3) Do u believe that the asus laptop is a good choise
4) The NVIDIA GTX 460M is a good acceleration choice for  both CS6 and FCP ?


Thank you for your time
