I have a 2013 macbook. But I think I will update to a hackintosh, and an ipad as my next two computers.
I never built a hackintosh, but saw some guides on youtube. Seems simple enough. I do occasional video editing in final cut, and programming.
The 2013 13 inch macbook, has been good so far.
But 98% of the time its connected to an external monitor and mouse and keyboard. The 13 inch macbook is still too big to use on an airplane seat. For the occasional travel, I think an ipad will work better for that and in bed.
The biggest gripes for me are with the macbook/os
1. It came with 128 GB, which I partitioned to use half with windows. I'm running out of space all the time.
2. It came with 2 usb ports and 2 lightning ports. I have never used a lighting port, but I'm always short a usb port. I use a dongle for external mouse and keyboard, so it takes up one usb port. But if I want to edit a movie, or files. I hook up an external drive and then I'm short a USB port. I wish there was a lightning 2 port to USB cable.
I use a USB hub, but it craps out eventually.
3. I dread updating, because recreating my python and windows programming environments would take a month.
4. I hate "Finder". It does weird things all the time. Takes 3 seconds to create a folder. Moving files requires a holding down a key. Windows explorer was much more snappier and useful.
5. My trash bin accumulates things which it won't let me delete.
I'm budgeting $750 hackintosh and $300 ipad. I think will give me more power and portability. Plush I'll still have my old macbook.
Maybe I'll budget $200 for a good mechanical keyboard and mouse this time.
