Hey so I’m trying to figure out if it’s plausible to create a hackintosh located on a 128gb USB that boots to a HP Spectre x360.

I was looking at this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-high-sierra-on-hp-spectre-x360-8th-gen-coffee-lake.251330/

And looking through it I’m not sure if it’s necessary I use the SSD provided with the computer or not. My specs are a bit different as well:

CPU:

• Intel i7-6500U @ 2.50GHZ • 2 Cores • 4 logical processors • TDP: 15W • integrates graphics: Intel HD graphics 520

Motherboard

• HP 81A1 (same as guide so I don’t think it’s an issue)

Really just wondering if I follow the guide but just install Mac OS on the USB drive if it will boot and run.

I want to build a portable rig for music making. For this I’m in search of a Hackintosh build that is small, stable and can survive a sudden power loss (without issues of damaging or corrupting anything).

When it comes to specs, I would love 16gb+ RAM, fast Disk I/O and a relatively fast CPU (top of the line not needed).

Would a NUC with a UPS be a solution to this? If so, does anyone have any experience with something like this? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone I currently have a gaming tower built and would like to dual boot MacOS High Sierra and Windows 10. My current specs are here. I would like to know if all or most of my hardware will work. Thank you in advance.

I'm looking at the model of computer listed above to purchase but I'd like to know if there are any hackintosh options available for this piece. I'm very new to hackintosh so I'm trying to learn here. Any help is appreciated. Here are the specs per the HP website

​

  • One M.2 socket 3 key M, 2280 type for SSD

If i buy a new hard-drive and use that exclusively for mac os will I be able to keep booting into my windows 10 drive?

Basically just need a small laptop that can run macOS with the most compatibility. Primarily for web dev and maybe using Logic Pro X. Looking at used MacBook Pros on eBay all the way back to 2012 and what they sell for compared to what you get is laughable. Figure I'd get more bang for my buck buying a used PC and using it instead.

Looking for a recommendation with some of the following specifications:

• ~13" would be ideal
• Quad-core CPU
• 16GB RAM (or at least upgrade-able to that)
• Upgrade-able SSD
• TB3 would be ideal since I have some audio gear that is TB3

Can you still dual-boot/Boot Camp windows on it?
