Last year i7, 32gb ram.
You install via USB.
I seem to have to update my video card driver after an OS X update, but it takes less than 3 minutes.
I built it figuring worse-case scenario, I can slap Linux or Windows on it, and it will still be good hardware.
I spent more on the monitor than the system build.
If you do, I recommend purchasing the PCI-E adapter for the Apple Broadcom BCM94360CD card to have native wifi+bluetooth.
Very stable.
- pritambaral 10y agoAny indication anywhere of the software noticing it's not running on official Apple hardware?
- mountaineer22 10y agoNot yet. Here is an overview of the bootloader used, Clover. https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Technical-Background https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Technical-Background
- op00to 10y agoApple can totally see what hardware is installed. FakeSMC, IIRC, uses a spoofed serial number for the hardware which can easily be detected. I assume sending hardware profiles are a part of using iCloud or other Apple services. It isn't a stretch for them to see what you're up to.
- izacus 10y ago1. iMessage App uses hardware serial and usually doesn't work on Hackintoshes without copying a serial from another working Mac. 2. DRM protected iTunes movies (the ones that don't work if you don't have a DRM capable monitor attached) won't play. Those are the only two issues with Hackintoshes that can't be fixed by buying right hardware.
- erikbye 10y agoiMessage works just fine here, on two hackintosh systems, all I had to do was generate a unique serial, I did certainly not copy one from another Mac.
