The number one reason I have a hackintosh is storage. I have about 16TB worth of drives on my main tower. It cost me $1700.

@@obamalore Yeah, now that hackintosh software installs seem to be more complex, I'm seriously thinking of getting a Mac mini later this year and setting up a NAS.
@@willugoupordown no but with max you do not need all that storage you atmosf only need like 1.5tb for all of the stuff your doing and if you need more buy more
Well, I see your point, but if you are using machine for professional work that argument is not valid. For example, If you are working as a programmer and will take your hourly rate into account you will lose the saved money on day one while you are building that PC and doing all the configuration. M1 Mac Mini is not so expensive, but it is a beast for programmers. Also, with Apple Mac you have less risks that you will lost time in future what can happen if your Hackintos will need reinstall after unsecufful update. If you are hobbuist with plenty of free time and very limited budget, Gackintosh still can make sense
@@BanqZaCkno amount of built in storage will be enough for video editors. You will need an external solution. If the macbook came with 10tb, you will still run out of storage as a professional video editor. You will also need a backup 10tb external drive somewhere otherwise the business will be at risk. A nas solution might be best where a drive failure doesn’t result in the loss of data and so we don’t need twice the storage (half for using, half for backup). The storage also doesn’t need to be fast since you won’t be editing on them. If you like, you can use one external super fast drive to copy the files you’re actively working on (if they exceed say 500gb in size). Otherwise, can use local drive on the laptop for the active project.
Sure, but if you earning money using Mac it make sense to do not spend time on Hackintosh and get a mac. As a developer you should get back that in vestment in 1-2 weeks. M1 mini is enough for work and it is very powerful machine that will last for a while.
Some words: I am still using hack-in-tosh, and if apple discontinues intel macs, I will make an arm hackintosh and tell nobody about it and say I have an real mac
No, you won’t. Arm and Apple silicon aren’t the same. While yes Apple silicon proccesers are arm, they feature instruction sets and cores not found on other arm proccesers and to reverse engineer it would be almost impossible to do.
Youre taking into consideration what people need it for. For music and audio people, the gpu overpower is completely waste of money. The hackintosh still provides better value and upgradeability. This may obvs change but i just changed from a i7-7700k to i9-13900 with 128gig of ram. using an old amd 580rx running 4 screens. Wouldve spent $3000k or more i went down the mac studio route.

It's not that cheap here 😅, it's crazy how it becomes so cheaper in US Edit : here it cost from $800 the basic model and you can go up also people who needs a lot of storage it's not worthy to buy Mac Mini
I used hackintosh with my Apple ID for about 9 months and didn't have any problems. Sure Apple can spot if you are using Hackintosh, but I didn't heard that anyone had problems with that so for. I switched to M series MacBooks and didn't use Hackintosh since then.
Why should I have dual boot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As I said in the video, I'm using M1 Pro for gaming and streaming and M1 Pro is my video editing and programming machine.
@@MrBrunomalo1 hm, ok I assumed you are commenting my case and answer. Sure, if you are on tight budget and need windows and macOS, you can go for hackintosh. I used hackintosh because Intel MacBooks overheated and was less powerful than desktops, now it is not a case anymore. If mac is a tool to earn money it make sense to invest in M series MacBook or Mac Mini
well if macos m1 mini cost more than 600-700 eur, i'd disagree with you, but now its as "cheap" as one "minimum powerful" hackintosh, the only reason i'm reluctant to buy it is that, the compatibility issue, but a small homelab with cheap mini pc perhaps the answer, thank you for the answer!
"There is no reason to use hackintosh"... yeah, there is: cost. I am a Linux user, but sometimes I need proprietary applications for work that don't run on said Linux. I just dualboot Ventura and Linux on my laptop and tada, Macbook for 400$. I don't like using MacOS, it's just not my cup of tea, but it's still more comfy than using Windows
Sure, if macOS is secondary and you mostly working in Win or Linux environment, Hackintosh still make sense to have. For iOS developers, that dosen't make sense anymore.
Well I mean there are faster x86 chipsets out there than M1, if you dont mind running an expensive threadripper setup, or some crazy multi cpu server setups. I can see a hackintosh on one of these systems being viable if you need obscene anounts of memory and a really strong cpu. I mean, if you dont mind coughing up $10k just for the cpu you can get a Threadripper Pro 7995WX and have a cpu thats a little over 400% faster than an M1 ultra in multithreaded loads, and about 20% faster at sequential workloads, while being able to have 20 times the memory, modularity, upgradability, and much greater connectivity. Practical? If youre coughing up that much money you're almost certainly a business, and youre probably using linux or windows server, so probably not, but hackintosh for peak performance isnt dead, just very expensive
And it’s days are counted making it worse Since Apple is switching to arm macs now once 2020 intel macs are stopped being supported the hackintosh wont be receiving any major Mac OS updates
Yeah, but why I should cheaper tool for work if I can buy better? If you are talking about tools for work and buying machine for 2-3 years to feed yourself and family, saving a bit is not making much sense. And yes, even $1..2K is not much comparing with money you should earn in 2...3 years.
