Hi Everyone!
Ok, I love Apple products, and unfortunately for the price point of their laptops, I simply am unable to justify buying Apple hardware. Yes, I have the latest iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch 5, but for $2000+ for a laptop???
So I have been watching videos on Youtube from Snazzy Labs and other 'hackintosh' builders, and I thought well if they can do it....so I started with Vanilla and....
Wrong!
They make it look really easy - getting the software, creating the boot USB drive using OpenCore, all simple. THEN comes the customization with kernels, kexts, tinkering with the bootloader, all stuff that is so far out of my league.
I would like to ask the forums if I posted my system specs, can you can tell me if it is even possible with my laptop?
I would like to know if it is even worth my time to try on this system...
Thank You In Advance For Any Help You Can Provide!
