I am a "mature" filmmaking student and as most of us 80s/90s kids, I default to PC environments. However, I have noticed that most editing positions listed in the media industry work exclusively on OSX and FCPX.
I am familiar with Macs, as it's what's they use at Uni, but they are slower than my machine (even the coffe maker-looking Mac Pros) and Premiere feels sluggier than on PC.
I have been looking to buy a Mac Mini or Macbook and get more familiar with FinalCutPro X as I feel I would be at a disadvantageous position if I were to apply. HOWEVER I am looking to buy an ultrabook and hackintosh instead. How fucked am I?

Generalisation. I'm an 80s kid, and I default to Macs.
Your uni's machines may be slower, but there is no appreciable difference when given similar hardware. My rMBP is a superb machine, and I'd recommend them to anyone.
You would be much better off getting a new/used Mac than fucking around with Hackintosh.

For what it is worth, I am a 90s kid who grew up on DOS and Windows, and I default to Macs as well. They are such nice machines. Perfect for development work.
