just buy mac you poorfag

who here /real master race dual boot/ - 9front + os x

I think my hardware is too modern and highend for macOS to be compatible with it

>>59523621
yeah, you can

>>59523517
Because AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+

>>59523517
It doesn't just werk on a T420.

>no wi-fi
>no sound
Unacceptable.

Using it on desktop, pretty good.

Also using it on my X220, but I'm really considering something else. I love the shortcuts and all, but it just feels a bit sluggish.

>>59523788
Hey, it's the only and true pedo-/g/!

I want a hackintosh, but not sure of whether or not my hardware would be compatible, and not particularly bothered to check desu

>>59524138
Do you have an SSD in your X220?

I'm running Sierra on mine with a 256gb ssd and 8gb ram and it doesn't seem sluggish on my machine at all.

>>59523662
Fuck you and die shill. Keep giving $800 for good hardware that should retail for $400 you stupid fuck.

>>59523673
The only hardware that aren't compatible are AMD CPUs, but that would contradict your post.
There are still some Autists that made MacOS Amd compatible, but it's pretty much shit.

>>59526110
Yeah, I think it might be a shitty SSD though. It's a Micron C400, it was included with the refurb X220 I bought.

>>59524124
>no wifi
Change the fucking adaptor
>no sound
Find the fucking kext.

>>59523517
Because MacOS is horrible shite.

>>59526074
If Intel it will work, if AMD it will work aswell just not as good. The main problem is GPU support, but nobody runs a Hackintosh for gaming and just ends up dual booting Widyagame OS 7/10

>>59523517
if you dont mind 1 crash every 3-4 weeks, along with a total annual fuckup when apple updates their OS then go ahead

>>59523621
>>59523621

100% of all relevant online content gets produced on macOS

>can you photoshop on mac?

lmao

>>59523621
You can pirate probably as much software as you can on Windows, problem is it has the same risks.

>>59526208
Apple never forces you to update, unlike Microsoft, when you run a Hackintosh you just wait until someone fixed the issues of the update. I'm never getting crashes but it really depends on what mainboard you use.

> Have Intel Z270 CPU
> Have Kaby Lake CPU
> Have GTX 1070

I pretty much fucked myself. Can I install OS X on my setup?

>>59526252
so how is it living with atleast 1 kernel panic a month while scouring and sweating over the tony mac forums every time there is a point update to check if anything has broke or not?

to people in general considering hackintosh, it is not worth it at all and you dont get the full macOS experience either.

>>59526281

dont you have an onboard gpu?

the GTX 10xx series chips arent supported yet afaik

>>59526281
Repleace the GTX with a RX 480 and you're fine
Hackintosh is easy with post 2014 mobos for some reason.
Kaby Lake offically is not supported, but aparentely is working great.

>>59526315
I guess you hat a bad experience with setting up a Hackintosh.
I own a 2013 Macbook Pro and a Desktop Hackintosh, I had more issues with the fucking Macbook, to this day the keyboard and Trackpad just stop working occasionaly and it crashed more often than my Hackintosh ever did.

>the full macOS experience

The whole "Apple experience" thing is just superficial shit that only affects normies, I don't feel any different on my Desktop and the average Asper/g/er won't care aswell.

>>59526506
Try using Filevault.

mac os dont support vga monitor :l

lol

the only good thing about this is that apple always delivers security updates late anyway

>>59528672
wew is it really that bad? was thinking about using it on my t420 but cba if it crashes so often

>>59528847
It's usually fine, but updates without being prepared for them means you're gonna go through some stupid shit. Feels like using a very riced Arch installation.

>>59523662
Drizzy not welcome here, RMS reacts only

>>59526164

I have a high end desktop and a couple of thinkpads (t61, x61t). A modern iteration of MacOS would be fruitless on any of them.

>>59528904

>muh apple users are tech illiterate meme

I support my iMac and Macbook with a home-built NAS and a Windows game console that used to be my primary computer. I built them both myself.

I know god damn well how to use Windows and Linux. I just don't feel like it anymore. I want to tinker, repair, and experiment on my own terms and my own time. I don't ever want to be forced to do it in order to get my work done. Macs are great for this; for getting out of your way when you want to get something done, for always being ready for you, and for almost never breaking down for trivial reasons.

I work in Apple retail, and nobody ever brings a Mac in for service that's less than three-ish years old. On the other end of the spectrum, people bring in Macs from 2009 that *just broke*. These're some crazy reliable computers, on average.

No issues, no KPs, everything working like on Real Mac. I update my system the same day the update releases. Even Hand-off and Continuity with Apple Wi-Fi card :)

If you know how to configure Hackintosh properly you can have 100% macOS experience without paying horrendous amount of money.

how do you guys download macOs in a PC?
did you pay for it?

>>59531494
>muh everything by apple and microsoft is a botnet meme

because the audio drivers don't work on my z270.

Hackintoshing is not worth it unless you build a specific computer for it

>>59526281
I spent hours trying to fuck with getting audio on my z270 , no luck. ethernet works, everythign works, except audio

>>59530931
what parts do you have?

>>59532848
see >>59529675

>>59532303
I think you need to use an existing Mac for creating the USB.

>>59533029
can you do that in the apple store?

>>59532848
i5-2500
MSI Z77A-G41 (although it wasn't the best choice)
AMD Radeon R7 250X
Mostly used parts to minimize the cost

>>59533029
You can always think about creating virtual machine with macOS.

>>59533112
You can, but you will still need to install and configure proper boot loader, in this case Clover EFI.

Based T420 it just werks.

>>59533029
You don't, you just need the MacOS installer and the only way to do this LEGALLY is to download it from Apple, which only works through the Appstore of a Mac. There are ways around that.

>>59532303
Pirated a VM of mountain lion off rutorrents and used a throwaway email to make an apple id to download el cap through the app store.

>>59533211
Keep in mind EULA which tells that you can't legally install osx on non-Apple pc. You can have serious problems in the USA. In Europe we have better things like respecting local law at higher level than apple's.

>>59533305
For now only Sierra is available

>>59533374
Then download Sierra.

>>59527971
what res screen? 1600x1200/1050 or w/e it is?
Can you replace a screen on a t420 and how easy is it?

Using OSX on a "pc" would not be as stable, completely defeating the purpose. More trouble than it's worth.

How's the battery life on a hackintosh?

>>59535081
I would say better, Most people I've seen have had better battery life and cooler temps just due to MacOS power management being better

>>59529073
I've never had an update break my hackintosh. Video driver's needed to be updated, but's that on nvidia deciding each security update gets a different driver.

>>59529228
Some people have gotten AMD cpus to work, but it's more effort.

according to some anon's test on /tpg/ I found in the archive it's better than linux. Beats Windows 7 only at idle. (This was probably for the T420)

Shitty backend for a website

Hello guys, i need your help.
I have this MacBook Pro "Core Duo" 2,17" from 2006 lying around that i wish i could "bring back from the dead". See, i'd like to install another OS on it, given the version of Mac OS it has it's so old and slow i can't even browse the internet like a normal person would. So i thought to myself "Hey, maybe you can install Windows on it", so i fire up Boot Camp Assistant, check "Download the Windows support software for this Mac" and Continue. After a while it tries to download the Support Software but it gives me an error: "Download could not continue: The Windows support software is not available."

Help me on this guys, i'm not really an expert in the Apple area.

>>59535502

just fucking put a linux distro on a usb stick and you are good to go lol

And yes, you can replace the screen for a 1080p panel from some 14inch alienware, it is supposedly a straightforward job. Thought about swapping it a few times myself but I just hook it up to an external when doing serious work.
