The price of a Lion upgrade is pretty much immaterial, as the relevant price of OS X is really bundled into the price of the hardware. You cannot buy a Lion DVD

The price of a Lion upgrade is pretty much immaterial, as the relevant price of OS X is really bundled into the price of the hardware. You cannot buy a Lion DVD and install it on a non-Mac PC.
- w1ntermute 15y agoOf course, that doesn't mean that running Lion on a PC is out of the question: http://lifehacker.com/5823837/how-do-i-upgrade-my-hackintosh-to-mac-os-x-lion http://lifehacker.com/5823837/how-do-i-upgrade-my-hackintosh...
- bad_user 15y agoIt is if you care about staying withing legal bounds and thus respecting their EULA. Also, OS X is not designed to run on any hardware, like Windows or Linux -- basically you have to ensure that you get the same configuration that Macs have, or you're sure to run into trouble. This means that if you already have a desktop or a laptop, you most definitely won't be able to run OS X on it, at least without pain; instead you're far better off buying new hardware and you're even better off going for an original Mac instead, or just not using OS X altogether. I mean, yeah, I know some people are happy with their hackintoshes, but it has been a poor experience for me and I just reverted to my reliable Ubuntu / Windows combo.
