And your Hackintosh will crash, make noise and draw too much power. To an increasingly large segment of the market, these cons far outweigh the possibility of a RAM upgrade.
- adamors 12y agoThat depends on whether you buy specific hardware for a Hackintosh or try to force it on some existing parts you have laying around in the house. Building a Hackintosh has been hassle free for a good while now. I've been running mine since Lion (2011).
- Adirael 12y agoIt's not that bad as it was a few years ago. I updated mine today to Yosemite and it was painful but bearable. I bought my hardware with osx86 in mind, it doesn't give me much trouble. No crashes. Noise and power consumption are dependent on what hardware you pick. I was waiting for the new Minis but seeing them I think I'll just keep my i3, RAM, SDD and get a smaller form factor motherboard and keep using the hackintosh.
- eropple 12y agoI've built multiple Hackintoshes. They don't crash if you've been smart about part purchases. One of my last two was passively cooled, and I don't care anymore about noise because the machine itself can live in a closet (cable drops outside). And sure, my last Hackintosh drew a lot of power. It was also an i7-875K running at 3.5GHz, which I couldn't get in anything except a $3K Mac Pro at the time. (Total BOM for that machine, which is still in use albeit as a Windows PC: $800.) But anyway, I don't care about the "increasingly large segment of the market". I care about me. So I don't know why you're fluttering about.
