oudyeh Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I wanted to buy a macbook pro but than I saw I can get a killer pc laptop at the same price or even lower... If I'm not buying a macbook pro I think I will get one of these options: HP Tx2z HP HDX 16t or 18t I've googled for them but there is no conclusion... which are the best for osx86? (and please don't answer MBP ) Do you recommend another laptop around 1500$ which is compatible? I have a Desktop PC computer that runs osx 10.5.7 so I have a background in hackintosh..

Khan_Man Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I don't know of any laptop that works perfectly. I've got a Vostro 1720 (p8600, 9600m GS). Works pretty well. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=171620 Khan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171711-looking-for-the-killer-laptop/#findComment-1182590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWaffle Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I don't see what makes these laptops "killer". Especially compared to a MBP. The TX2Z has: -An el cheapo AMD CPU (definitely not a good choice for building a hackintosh) -slower RAM -ATI GPU (also not the best for hackintosh) -is all around a rather cheap computer The HP HDX 16t has: -An Intel Core2Duo (much much better) -nVidia GPU -Much more HDD space -Still has slower RAM than MBP but has an impressive amount of it. HP HDX WINS!!!! But I'd still go with the MBP, as Apple has some of the best build quality and HP, well... certainly doesn't. Let's just say HP went from "By engineers, for engineers" to "By business men, to foolish consumers" And their support is just terrible. Not that you'd get much support while running OSX. Good luck.

Dyckyj Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 If you're interested in the hdx16 look here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=135562 but personally I would definitely get a macbook pro even if I had to go for a refurbished one: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/spec...mac/macbook_pro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171711-looking-for-the-killer-laptop/#findComment-1183517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
