Every year I've been waiting for apple to finally release a good mbp. The specs for the new 16 inch mbp seems great on paper (but without any user-upgradeable parts like the 2012, but that ship has sailed), so I'm waiting to see if any major issue shows up before getting one (probably early next year).
The backup option if the 16 inch mbp turns out to be no good is building a kvm-based hackintosh with gpu pass-through. I could fully migrate to linux, but still need MacOS for iOS app development so this system might works for me.
- 72deluxe 7y agoI'd be interested in the KVM-based Hackintosh - got any reading material? I won an 8086k processor (thanks Intel) and the machine is not taxed heavily (other than C++ dev in Windows and gaming) so any options for multiplatform development are always interesting to me. Now to investigate the associated licencing issues!
- neurostimulant 7y agoI actually hasn't tried it yet, but people are posting their kvm hackintosh setup on github, like this one: https://github.com/yoonsikp/macos-kvm-pci-passthrough https://github.com/yoonsikp/macos-kvm-pci-passthrough People also reported great performance with hypervisors like esxi. I plan to try both methods and see which one works best for me.
