The main point of a Mac and why you are "highly productive" in it is because "things just work" with a nice Unix environment. When you go the Hackintosh route, things will no longer just work. Your life would be easier just going with Ubuntu or buying a Mac Mini. This said, I still don't understand why Apple doesn't release a Mac Pro lite. A screenless laptop (Mac Mini) isn't good enough and a big screen with a laptop embedded doesn't cut it either. Personally I got a last gen Mac Pro on Ebay for a quarter of the price of a new Mac Pro. The problem is that now the upcoming MacOS update isn't compatible with it... I've also gone the Ubuntu route and I've found that it's really only good for development and some Steam games; not to mention that with every small official update from Canonical, I'm wondering what part of my UI will break next?
