It's really astounding how well OS X works on notebooks. My brother has an old Thinkpad X220 (with IPS panel) which he converted into a Hackintosh. The only thing he needed to do is to replace the internal wifi module with another one (cost roughly $8). This was done in 15 minutes as the old Thinkpads are highly serviceable. He's pretty happy with the machine as a MBA replacement. (He's waiting for an update MBA model. That optimist.) I myself converted my gaming rig into a hackintosh some time ago. Now I got a beefy "Mac Pro" for a fraction of the original's price. Also I can upgrade and fix it myself. When my current 2013 MBP breaks I think I'm going to buy the small MacBook (the plain one) and do my heavy computation work on the Hackintosh.
