AirmanPika Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'm kinda partial to "{censored} Child of the Orient" but thats both a little long and a little...uh...its not really oriental.

Tiger K Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 IMO, "Intel Mac" is what you buy from Apple, "MacIntel" is what you build youself... I refer to my machine as "MacIntel", "Hackintosh", and (my own creation) "PowerHack P4" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12531-macintel-or-mactel/page/2/#findComment-81408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think Rogue Amoeba software got it right-- ICBMs. As in, Intel Chip Based Macintosh. http://rogueamoeba.com/universal/ [No affiliation with 'em (not even a customer), just giving credit where it's due.] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12531-macintel-or-mactel/page/2/#findComment-84332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bond Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Macintel does it for me...just seems to roll off the tounge a bit easier than Mactel. I use that and "Hackintosh" to tell the difference now.

Metrogirl Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 It's *Intel Mac* for me. I like names to be precise and descriptive. Depending on the emphasis, "Macintel" sounds like a Scottish gentleman, a character from a kiddy story or something you buy at that burger place.

cmoski Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Haha, I hate to go against most replies here, but I'll always call it the Mactel project. Although it suggest Intel, it's a little less strong of a connection to Intel, but more of an assoication with the x86 platform as a whole. OSX can run on AMD chips, too .

muxion Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 hmm, Mactel seems like Mattel or a phone thingy Macintel is pretty descriptive, an intel box that has been "mac'ed", gets my vote. a universal mac = Umac? more than 1 are Umax?? ICBM refers to both kinds, Apple-made and home-made. iClone? intelipod? PowerClone? PowerMaxxuss? Hackintel? I prefer Hackintosh, which I will call mine when I finish night school at Bofors U. I have the parts below, 40 Gb of files, but no running OSX86 as yet. I *really* enjoy this forum and appreciate all the people who give so much (the faculty!) Thanks all!!!

ozzie123 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Isn't Apple refers to their Intel Mac line as Mactel? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12531-macintel-or-mactel/page/2/#findComment-90695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manston Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 To the purist it has to be MACBETH, as it is a bit of a tragedy...

acidnine Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Since there is also talks with AMD, I don't think that Intel should be part of the name at all, I believe something along the lines of MacPC or if you are so interested in classifying them... inMac aMac Mac G6 (Intel and AMD Based) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12531-macintel-or-mactel/page/2/#findComment-197435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
