Get a job?

Hackintosh
>>59617701
already got one
Stop wanting it or get a fucking job
refurb / second hand imacs are pretty good. provided you arent doing any gaming, a 2012 model will suffice and i see them here in aus for about 500-700$

Build hackintosh for 300 ameriburgers. Pentium + cheap mobo + 8 gb ram + ssd. Forget about gpu.
Even niggers can afford this.

not op, is it possible to do it in a virtual machine ?
>>59617957
Yes but animations lag sometimes.
You can do everything in VM, even download xcode and develop for iOS if you want to.

Buy a lower end "refurhb" model from their outlet. They come with full warranty and look new, every time. Don't listen to the asshats here who talk about them being overpriced—it's worth it.

Buy a jumper EZbook and hackintosh it. Normies won't tell the difference

If you really want MacOS then do it the proper way and get an actual Mac. Their hardware is specially tailored to the OS and ties everything together very nicely for the best experience. Hackintoshes will make you feel like a poorfag fraud and they never work snywhere near as well as a real Mac. Good luck OP
Well, one of the following:
-Refurbished older (and probably better) model of macbook pro for cheaper
-Used older macbook pro for even cheaper
-If you don't need a laptop, buy yourself a comfortable desktop for under 600 bucks that is completely compatible + a magic trackpad if you want the comfy gestures for like 40 bucks used since these things hardly ever break (don't buy the newer, more expensive one)
-If you need a laptop and you're poor as fuck, and you don't mind losing the amazing trackpad, I guess it's time for a compatible thinkpad which there are quite many for less than 300 buckaroos

Hackintosh a T420 or just don't use it at all because it's not as good as advertised.
FreeBSD if you want that Unix feel, Linux if you want hardware support and a variety of programs.

Install LFS, MacFaggot.

MacMini or MBA 13" are pretty cheap, especially if you buy refurbished. Although it's better not to be a jew and go all the way to rMBP from 2013 upwards.
Hackintosh is usually more trouble than it's worth it. In the time it takes to make it work, it's easier to make the money to buy the real deal. The only legitimate use for hackintosh is when you want to use OSX on more powerful hardware and don't want to give Applel money for outdated Trashcan Pro.

BUILD A FUCKING HACKINTOSH!
It literally takes 30 min to assemble all the pieces.

Anon never buy anything from Apple that is refurbed. Just save up for the next MBP. It'll have Kaby Lake processors and a 1050 gtx.

Get a regular laptop and install Elementary OS
