7) Build a Hackintosh

• jdhn 9y ago
  While I have a Hackintosh, I'm not sure I'd want to get one if it was my primary computer. Granted, I haven't had any problems with mine, but all it takes is an update from Apple to break or brick it. Native Macs don't have that issue.

    Its also a legal risk to do any kind of billable work on a hackintosh.

      It might be unethical, but the risk is zero. Apple isn't going to sue you. Running unlicensed Windows is a significantly bigger risk.

        The risk is pretty real, see my other thread. If you don't have a legal office declared for business activities to the regulators, then yeah it might be zero.

      If you have a real Mac/Macbook and a Hackintosh it would probably be hard to prove which was used for the work.

        Except if you happen to live in a country where goverment authorities are entitled to search your office for illegal software. Then good luck in court.
