I’ve been rocking my hackintosh for almost 4 years now. It’s still holding together, but battery life and performance (with battery) are not great, also intel support will be gone soon.
I have to say that I’m not big fan of Liquid Glass redesign, so if I’m getting a new Mac, it’ll be an M4 15” MBA with 512GB and will keep it on Sequoia.
My other option is to move over to Linux (probably Debian), but I’m not confident I’ll be able to find something compelling for a reasonable price with great performance and battery life (mostly because RAM and storage shortage)
Any thoughts on that? On one hand, it’s probably a bad idea to buy a new Mac just to keep it forever on sequoia but I also feel like my laptop will hold me back any time soon.
For a little bit more context: I’m a computer engineering college student, I do programming in different languages, I make heavy use of virtual machines and I like Apple iWork for office related workloads. I have an M1 Mac mini, but I still need a mobile computer.
Yeah, that’ll probably be the case, I’m quite used to having third-party software to add things I need that apple hasn’t added.
Although, I’ll probably miss some features like the old System Preferences or the LaunchPad.
