![]() I completely reinstalled my Hackintosh only once in those 2 years and that was from Yosemite to El Cap. I am not doing that, I am just saying it would be a choice. I am running mine since 2 years now and am on the newest Mac OS version, most of the time the App Store updates work flawlessly (even though it's not recommended), alternatively you could just go for a small SSD, put everything else on another SSD and/or HDD and you can reinstall the SSD with the newest version which shouldn't take longer than 15-30 minutes. While I agree with you that years ago (>3) a Hackintosh wouldn't be a wise choice to go for a productive environment, a LOT has changed. But if you want to spend your time on other things, and want your computer to just work, I would definitely not recommend it. In general, if you're the kind of a person that enjoys tinkering and troubleshooting, and have plenty of free time, then go for it. Then if you get to a situation when you have to ask a question, you sit and pray for someone to answer, because if they don't you're stuck.Įventually, I bought an iMac, and couldn't be happier. Troubleshooting issues is a nightmare - there's no support, and you have to spend tons of time browsing through threads looking for someone with a similar problem. And there are some things that just never work as intended - like the sleep mode that I was never able to figure out. Things that you would expect to work out of the box with a normal Mac do anything but - there's effort required to make anything perform as expected. Updating the OS is a nightmare, resulting in me staying with 10.7 while everyone was on 10.9. However, it was a gigantic pain in the ass to maintain and I wouldn't recommend it. I spent ~ $800 on parts, and an equivalent (top of the line) Mac would've cost about $4K, so the money savings were great. There is an option you have to disable in bios for it to boot something like chameleon….I've used a Hackintosh as a main development machine for a few years. Both are very quiet until you try to game on them. I tried an i5 haswell nuc first (on sale closeout of course) found it so fun and fast with an ssd and 8gb of ram that i returned it got the considerably faster gigabyte instead. Like you i have built quite a few midsize atx hackintoshes, i have three going at the moment so i consider myself pretty experienced I recently bought a haswell gigabyte GB-BXi7-4770R, not an intel nuc obviously, its a real screamer with the desktop cpu and the iris hd pro 5200 grfx. ![]()
