I have macOS stably working on an Acer E5, a Surface Pro 2017, and my desktop. Two 10.14 devices and 1 10.13 desktop. I Hackintosh because of my love for the OS, but these 3 devices all deliver outstanding prices for the combined cost of less than the iMac.
I considered selling my SP2017 for a MBA with similar Geekbench scores - but why would I? Windows can act as my iPad side and I can do productive work in macOS. For the same cost as the iPad Pro.
This begs the question: for Apple fans and Superusers, Hackintosh is the best way forward. Maybe the only way. A for-sure great way if you have a stable system. The macOS patform is years ahead of Windows, but the Apple hardware years behind. So, is our relationship with Apple sustainable?
How secure are we in our relationship with Apple to use an OS we love on hardware we love?
Are things like native AMD GPU support a slide under the table to Hackintoshers?
Do they plan on keeping letting us exist to feed their ecosystem? How sure is that?
How much do we mean to Apple?
If Hackintoshing was easier - it'd be almost mainstream. So with Apple's in-house macOS homogenity being threatened by expensive, lacking hardware - where does that leave us? Is this a push for Apple to open their OS, or lock it down even more?
Where do you all think the future of Hackintoshing lies?
Happily typed from Mojave on my Surface Pro. :)
