JahStories Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The problem on laptop for usage as an hackintosh is to find a model which have a working dedicated GPU... Most modern laptops uses optimus and that's not supported... Btw if you are not into gaming you can take a look at the xiaomi mi notebook air! 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323984-best-2017-laptops-for-hackintoshing/#findComment-2431493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

srmusico Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 So, the main problem should be the gpu, but is possible to disable the dedicated gpu and use intel hd? the main objetive will be for music production (Use with logic Pro X) and maybe some home video edition with final cut. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323984-best-2017-laptops-for-hackintoshing/#findComment-2431506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaLd0n Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It's true, the price is very high. Need wait, many processors without Integrated Graphics is out. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323984-best-2017-laptops-for-hackintoshing/#findComment-2431964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
