[SOLVED] Is OS X as effieient on a Hackintosh as on a Mac

[loshosorus]

I am buying a laptop and I would to put Mac OS X on it because of its efficiency and just because of the way it looks.

i tried this on my lenovo with mavericks i didnt have much luck, i got it to mostly install but couldnt get it to boot correctly.

virtually it worked ok but still had its glitches

osx is based on linux

I would do some research first to make sure your laptop will work correctly or it will drive you nuts. i gave up after a few days of trying to get it to work.

Actually its Unix(They are different) Anyways do you think its the drivers or something else. Also try using a virtural machine it might work better.

I doubt it will be as efficient and yes that is because of the drivers. Beyond that... no comment.

Where do you intend to obtain a copy of OS X from? You can only buy very old versions (which probably wouldn't run on modern hardware) and only Mac owners are entitled to obtain more recent versions.

Mostly, yes. I have a HP Probook and the installation was flawless. I had to buy a new wireless card but everything else worked fine (Hardware wise). Facetime and Imessages can be a pain but overall it's worth it.

If you want an easy, low headache hackintosh then I'd suggest a HP Probook.
