Why on Earth would anyone do that.
- pjmlp 7y agoThe point is that Hackintosh is not the Apple experience, rather being cheapskates to buy Apple's hardware and Care plans. That being the case, better contribute to BSD and Linux OEMs.
- FireBeyond 7y agoAs someone who has spent, as best I can tell, $50,000+ on Apple gear at home over the last decade, tell me again why I'm a cheapskate because I take issue with the world's richest company charging me nearly five times market rates for memory? Oh, for the "Apple experience"? Please. The last two Apple experiences I had involved them wanting to charge me $900 to repair a charging circuit in an otherwise perfectly functioning MacBook, and another where they repeatedly denied me warranty service on a maxed out MBP which could repeatedly be made to crash, oftentimes multiple times a day (due to what Apple begrudgingly admitted nearly six months later was in fact a design issue). To be clear I'm perfectly happy with Apple hardware and software and realize that my experiences are outliers. But "because I'm a cheapskate" isn't really a valid argument here.
