I got out of the Apple cult back in the 80s for the same reasons and they haven't changed on either the desktop or phone fronts. My intro to Beato was the video prior to that Hackintosh video, where he slams Mac Mac Buyers Guide from MacRumors.the best on the ‘net: Lots of solid facts and informed opinions: The forums as Macrumors are great as well. Try the Gearslutz forum, thats where the DAW recording ppl live: If you want real in-depth answers TGP is not always the best place. Spend the money you saved not buying Apple’s RAM on a 7200rpm 2-4TB external USB3 drive.Īvoid Fusion drives at all cost. You can easily upgrade the RAM up to 128GB so I’d get minimum 8GB and then buy the rest from OWC and install myself. If I was in the market for a new Mac I’d buy a maxed out 27” iMac w/ a 1 TB SSD boot drive. You have to take apart the whole box to make it happen which is a PITA. They are great if you have no plans to upgrade and just want a stable build with powerful PC parts.Īs it stands now the Mini is a good buy *but* the problem is that while the RAM is upgradable it’s not as easy to do as in years past. I’ve built a few Hackintosh boxes in the past 5 yrs for other people.
