And the fact is, as technical as I can get here, there are certain things that may not work. When I went through this process, I became close friends with my terminal. Now, I’m sharing my insights here.Ī word of warning before we go any further: This is a project for the technically inclined.
#Hackintosh build same as 2018 mac pro driver#
I’ve been using a Hackintosh laptop as a daily driver for a year. I put in the time, offered the occasional helping hand on the forums, did a bit of research on the culture of Hackintosh, and gained a great appreciation for the process. As frustrated by the keyboard and the price as by the fact that nothing was upgradeable on the current generation of MacBook Pros, I went on this journey myself a year ago-and made it out on the other side much more knowledgeable about why MacOS is a great, quite flexible operating system, often (and unfortunately) placed in a not-so-perfect machine. I can speak from experience here because I did all the hard work myself already. That said, if you can get past those, you can put together a fairly stable machine that can handle much of what Apple’s own offerings can-without the incredibly high price to boot.
Often, they’re custom-built desktop machines, but laptops with the right specifications work as well.) (For the unfamiliar, a Hackintosh is a generally Intel-based machine‚ not made by Apple, that runs MacOS. For whatever reason, laptops are looking mighty attractive for Hackintoshing these days, despite the knotty qualms some people have with it.
