I KNOW them apple products is over priced but I don't keep up with latest computer hardware.

What's some good suggestions for a laptop around $500? I won't be gaming. Most demanding things would be music software and photoshop type things lol

Usually hackinstoshes have stability issues and require a lot of troubleshooting to get running on par with a native mac.

Also real Macbooks have a much higher build quality. Real aluminum, high quality glass and assembly. Multi touch gestures.

Yea yours is cheaper and prolly more powerful. But every time someone's built one that I know or read about there were a multitude of functionality issues. You have to use specific components to get everything to work right, and it almost never runs as 'snappy' as a native mac.

You will undoubtedly have to do some research to get the functionality on the same level.

I've seen crash issues, video issues, application issues, wifi issues, display issues etc etc.

Not raining on your parade, because it's a cool side project to do.

But achieving 100% functionality is quite a headache usually. Def cheaper and more powerful though. You mine as well just keep it on Windows or Linux though if that's what you're going for.

If you wanna use Photoshop or Premier, or Logic Pro you are bound to run into a multitude of problems from drivers, to crashes, to software functions randomly not working.

No functionality issues here. shyt its easier to troubleshoot this "mac" than a system running Linux. i've seen people have problems with their real mac that never get solved. And this is not a hackintosh by the way.

I did that hackintosh shyt with my dell xps 17. Right when Yosemite came out. I wanted to test the iPhone stuff on it. It was cool but I don't even use that partition any more. I went back to the Windows partition. Smh

No it worked. and after the novelty wore off I stopped using it. lol

only thing I couldn't get to work was the hand off stuff because you needed Bluetooth 4.0

I got every thing else working, even wifi (had to buy another wifi card for my laptop but it was only 10 bucks and easy to swap out)
