Ask HN: What is there any Hackintosh of-the-self laptop?

2 points by sahin-boydas ↗ HN
I am mac user since I am 6 years old and I really feel good if I use latest.

I am really done with Macbook for simple reasons.

1) Why do I need to wait 2-3 years and get 1-2 year old hardware for 2500 USD av.

2) I want everything to be usb-c fine. I really got it but world or us are not ready for it.

3) Why in the world one of best operation company cannot deliver an iphone with usb-c or can't have iphone slot in macbook pro. This is a joke!

4) I want Mac subscription or upgradable mac.

5) I have macbook, apple watch, iphone 7, how in the world is it difficult to have 1 charger (smart enough to detect the device and charge) and simple usb-c for all of it instead of 4 doggles/cables/adaptors ====

For all these reasons, I am asking. Is there any of-the-self laptop Hackintosh ?

(I will use for educational purposes so please don't remind me about EULA)

The EULA applies to educational purposes too. Education is one of the main markets of Apple.

I'd suggest to install Darwin and GNUstep, or better, Linux and GNUstep on a PC laptop.

Off the shelf hackintoshes don't exist afaik. You might be able to get a bespoke one from someone though, if you check relevant forums and post there.
