Hackintosh - Yes or No?
>>53345099
Yes, that looks like a hackintosh.
/thread
Yes, but unless you're going all out by buying specific hardware I wouldn't do it. OS X is finicky on certain setups.
you should quit, smoking is a shit habit -love, mom
>>53345107
Haha, you are funny anon.
>>53345099
Hackintosh is a great alternative to an actual over priced mac
I made one with an i7 2770k processor, and 64 gb ram. (4x16gb)
It's an absolute monster
>>53345130
This is very true, it's a real bastard to set up on non compliant system
>>53345099
who is this semen demon?

Good luck getting working drivers.
Too much trouble. Dual boot linux and windows on an SSD. You can boot into windows in seconds if you need any mainstream program, and you have a fully capable, customizable and powerful unix-like system when you need it.
>>53345399
>drivers
you mean kexts??
>>53345130
this.. if you dont carefully pick your hardware, it probably wont be a smooth experience
>>53345099
Why not just get a Mac?
>>53345444
So you don't have to over pay for low spec hardware or sign over the virginity of your first born to pay for med spec hardware.
>>53345099
Why do you want OS X?
The whole reason OS X is better than linux is not having to fuck about with configurations. A hackintosh defeats the point. Just get a macbook air as a secondary computer and run a Windows/Linux dual-boot on your main.
>>53345135
my mom smokes
>>53345099
That's a weird looking Thinkpad. Where's the trackpoint?
If you're not doing media production work (film, music, graphic design, etc.), which OS X is best at, then you're honestly probably better off with Linux.
>>53345576
>implying fucking around with configurations isnt fun.
the real reason OS X is better than linux is abundant software choices
how would i go about installing osx on my t420?
I'm using Elementary OS on it for now.
>>53345137
You should smoke, quitting is a bad habit - mom lover
>>53345638
like adobe and lifestyle apps amirite?

its very easy to do it only wifi isn't working
but you can add wifi USB dongle
only retard didn't know how to install hackintosh

>using the smiley with a carat nose
>>53345099
no unless you are retarded
if you want to run mac os (not sure why you would) get an actual mac
the ONLY reason to want MAC or Hackintosh is if you NEED the some exclusive software (Final Cut Pro, for example) - surely you don't want it for gayrage band, ilife or anything else.
What's the name of that simple loader software to install OS X?
poor poor poor
too poor for the real thing
kill yourself poorfag
>>53347466
nice haiku
Yes if you use intel and some gigabyte motherboard. In many cases this combo gets the best results (with the possibility of using the Ozmosis boot loader).
In my case I got an asus motherboard so it's not that pleasant.
If you play games you may also find it's not the best thing you can get. But if you play games you always have to use Windows anyways. Linux is pretty much as green.
I have my share of problems: sleep mode not working with modern AMD cards, some of my music being applied a filter so it turns into garbage (maybe some DRM bullshit? it doesn't happen on windows) and not knowing whether or not my computer is even working the way it's supposed to.

Does the ion get proper 3d acceleration in OS X?

Sweden yes
>>53350215
i don't know yet, haven't messed around with it too much. as soon as i finished installing everything i disassembled the laptop and am currently painting it white B^)
it did show up as a 9400m with 256mb vram tho
Hackintosh yes.
>>53346205
>>53346402
No. You just have to install the t420 bios that eliminates the wifi whitelist so you can install the mac compatible card.
About to buy a MBP
Do I need to get this MagSafe 2 Power Adapter?
Surely it comes with a charger right?
>>53350650
It does come with a charger.
The regular Macbook Pro should have a Magsafe 1 though.
>>53350689
Chickened out, gonna wait until new MBP announced
>>53345099
what Computer is that? Thinkpad? model?

Running El Captian in VMWare. I don't need graphics acceleration for Xcode and CPU performance overhead is pretty small, 5% slower than Native.

>I made one with an i7 2770k processor, and 64 gb ram. (4x16gb)
Two words. Oom Possible
1 - The i7 2770 is not a thing.
2 - Both the i7 2700 and 4770 are limited to 32GB RAM, partially due to an issue with the memory controller.
>>53352365
I have and 4770 :)
It's great if you're a developer especially for the Apple environment.
Just be prepared to deal with lesser performance as a result of using OS X(games, input latency, etc, etc, so many things.) OS X under the hood is ridiculously unoptimized.

>Running El Captian in VMWare.
Yosemite was disgustingly laggy in vmware, how's Cap?
>>53345403
which linux distro is good? i wanted to do hackintosh but its annoying finding the os that might not be messed with in a bad way.
>>53354286
Pretty slow too, not much slower than my rMBP13 though. 2560x1440 res.
Should I go the hackingtosh route
It'll either be a desktop with i7 4770, 32 gbs, gigabyte mobo, and gtx 970.
Or
Best 15 inch macbook pro with the gfx card.
Really need it for video and photography production/ hobby and Internet usage
I hate Windows. Its always bugging and I've used OSX for 5 years now and prefer the low hassle of running it.
Setup with a 28inch 4k monitor will be $2k vs. the $2500 macbook pro
Been putting it off for a year now but will probably need it this year. Been using a 2010 macbook pro.
>>53345099
I dual boot yosemite with linux mint on my i5 3570k desktop. I just use it to run negative scanners and Lightroom at the moment

Pardon, but I'd simply like to interject for one second. What you're alluding to as Linux, is in actuality, GNU/Linux, or as I just the other day began to call it, GNU with Linux. Linux is not an OS unto itself, but actually another free component of a fully operational GNU setup made useful by the GNU core libraries, terminal tools and vital setup components completing a full OS as defined by POSIX.
There are a substantial number possesors operate a changed version of the GNU setup everyday, without knowing it. Through a strange turn of events, the version of GNU that is being broadly installed today is often called "Linux", and a substantial number of its possesors have no knowledge that it is really the GNU setup, created by the GNU Project.
There truly is a Linux, and this population are indeed using it, but it is simply a part of the setup they use. Linux is the core: the part of the setup that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The core is an essential part of an OS, but relies on the rest of the system to work; it is only operational in the structure of a whole OS. Linux is normally installed in combination with the GNU OS: the whole setup is really GNU with the addition of Linux, or GNU/Linux. All the supposed "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
>>53345489
My MBP cost me $65, plus the cost of a RAM upgrade (about $30) and a spare disk (free)
>>53347351
>he doesnt know people have opinions
Ι'd јust like tο interјect fοr a mοment. What yοu're referring tο as GNU, is in fact, GΝU/Linux, οr as Ι've recently taken tο calling it, GΝU plus Linux. GNU is nοt an οperating system untο itself, but rather anοther free cοmpοnent οf a fully functiοning GΝU+Linux system made useful by the Linux kernel cοmprising a full OS as defined by ΡOSΙX.
Many cοmputer users run a mοdified versiοn οf the GΝU+Linux system every day, withοut realizing it. Τhrοugh a peculiar turn οf events, the versiοn οf GΝU+Linux which is widely used tοday is οften called "GNU", and many οf its users are nοt aware that it is basically the Linux kernel, develοped by Linus Torvaldez.
Τhere really is a GNU, and these peοple are using it, but it is јust a part οf the system they use. GNU is the userspace: the prοgrams in the system that fail to comply to POSIX. Τhe userspace is an essential part οf an οperating system, but useless by itself; it can οnly functiοn in the cοntext οf a cοmplete οperating system. GNU is nοrmally used in cοmbinatiοn with the Linux kernel: the whοle system is basically Linux with GNU added, οr GΝU+Linux. All the sο-called "GNU" distributiοns are really distributiοns οf GΝU+Linux.
