Lot of people know me for my hackintosh youtube channel and builds but fact is I was always
Mac user and I always owned more Macs than Hacks.
In my video called “Apple forced me to build a Hackintosh” I said: “I’m on Hackintosh
because I still believe in Apple and patiently waiting for my wonder machine with a sticker
on it “Made By Apple”.
So go on Apple, release for us finally some reasonably priced modular computers we all
want so much.
Thank you very much!
Count with me Apple!
Sincerely yours, Morgonaut - for my whole life - Apple Evangelist.”
So, finally after quite 8 years of waiting Apple really released modular Mac Pro even
though the word “reasonable priced” may be taken by most people without correct understanding.
I have fulfilled my promises and as you can see I really bought the 2019 Apple Mac Pro.
Of course, I had to and I will explain it right now.
To own for example a PowerMac was always extraordinary feeling.
I would not say PowerMac users was some privileged group of people, but fact is that PowerMacs
were in every better music or video production house, in hands of artists.
So why I didn’t bought desktop Mac since 2012?
One reason - lack of power and expandebility.
But the most important reason for me personally was something else.
The new Apple computers were missing something in contrast to those PowerMacs.
I personally called it a “good old PowerMacintosh spirit”.
Something was simply missing there.
I didn’t have the same amazing feeling out of it.
Now with the 2019 Mac Pro I can feel it again, some inexplicable vibration.
I started to help people with hackintosh builds by one single reason.
Apple simply was not able to offer for us, professional users really as good computer
as was the PowerMac G3, G4, G5 or the original cheesegrater, especially from years 2009 to
2012.
For most Apple users the price is not the concern, but for that price they really want
stable and powerful computer on which they can rely.
Apple users had no other option than to stay on aging hardware which was simply not able
to keep up with higher and higher demands of operating systems and apps or move to completely
another platform.
But to move from the best is not a pleasant journey.
So to have the ability to stay in the known Apple ecosystem and just build a Hackintosh
was very tempting idea.
So my idea was to help to Apple users overcome the period of time until Apple will release
again new amazing Mac Pro with up to date components and standards and help them to
build a perfect Hackintosh.
But unfortunately most of Hackintosh users are not any Apple users for a decade or two
or more as me.
By my opinion most of them are just for their whole life Windows users who just want to
try macOS or from jealousy take all advantages of macOS but not to invest too much to it.
Those people will most likely never buy any Mac.
And I don’t like it.
I would like them to try macOS, try Hackintosh, save some money on it, enjoy it, maybe make
some money with it and then - buy a regular Mac.
And thanks God I can really see quite lot of former Windows users switching.
So from this point of view I’d like to give you my suggestion if to build a Hackintosh
is the best way for you or if you should buy the new 2019 Mac Pro.
Or just something lower spec like iMac.
With the coming of the new 2019 Mac Pro whole situation dramatically changed.
And even more polarized people.
People say - It’s overpriced, it’s expensive crap, but in fact as I will show you in one
of my next videos, it’s not overpriced, but underpriced.
If you would try to buy equally specced workstation from Dell, HP or Lenovo you would have to
pay even more in most cases and you will not get as many features, and I’m not even talking
about the design.
Other people say my 16-core Ryzen 3950X or my 32 core 3970 Threadripper can eat the Mac
Pro for breakfast.
Bla bla, etc.
Sure if, you think you will be more happy with Threadripper, go for it, Mac Pro, or
better any Apple computer as a whole is not for you.
I would also find a use case for this AMD ZEN 2 32-core monster, but I would never put
Windows on it.
Most probably I would build a virtualization server of it and it would shine.
Hackintosh can be as stable as any real Mac, it just have to be well prepared, well configured
and built from precisely chosen components.
Advantage of Hackintosh besides it’s lower price I can see mainly in low repair costs.
You don’t need to fear so much.
If for example your power supply in Hackintosh will burn, you can go to first PC parts shop
and buy a new one.
If something die in your Mac after one or two years of warranty or Apple care, you are
out of luck, repair would cost quite the same as a new Mac.
Sure yes, it’s true you can for half or even third of a price of real Mac build a
Hackintosh with even higher performance.
You can build now low spec Hackintosh and if you choose your components wisely, you
can during years upgrade it more and more to higher end GPUs or more powerful CPUs.
Or easily add high speed PCIe SSDs or more disks.
Anything you want.
You cannot do it with Macs, with exception of the new 2019 Mac Pro.
So if all of the above said resonates with you, than freely build a perfect Hackintosh
and be happy.
But as I said on the beginning.
To own a PowerMac and work on it was always something special.
I don’t need to explain to smart Apple users why they should buy the new 2019 Mac Pro,
they know it already.
But still.
You can’t get anything other like that, it’s exceptional.
And even if you would buy the cheapest configuration now, you can expand it later even up to the
highest end CPUs and GPUs, or you can add the amazing Apple Afterburner card which you
cannot use on Hackintosh.
Do you need 2,3,4 GPUs setup and plenty of Thunderbolt 3 ports?
Again, only 2019 Mac Pro can offer it to you.
No other desktop workstation has so much expandebility options than the Mac Pro.
And it’s silent!!!!!
On Air!
Without any fancy water cooling.
And of course no other desktop computer would look so good on your desk :) but you should
not buy it just for that.
PC users with tons of RGB circuss lights would not agree with me now, but I don’t care :)
It’s a state of mind, soul and heart to be pure good old Mac user who can feel
and enjoy the above said “good old PowerMacintosh spirit” in the new 2019 Mac Pro.
You have to experience the feeling personally to be able understand it.
Hackintosh does not have any soul, it’s just a bunch of metal and plastic.
So does not matter if you are that Windows user who just wanna try macOS out of curiosity,
or that most likely older guy who loves Macs for his entire life, there’s no need to
fight against each other.
I feel lot of anger in hackintosh community, lot of hate.
There’s nothing like that in Macintosh world.
Buy what you want, what you like, build what you want, build a Hackintosh or buy a
Mac, simply enjoy it.
Life is too short to not enjoy every moment, each second.
So despite I bought the new 2019 Mac Pro nothing has changed in my help to other platforms
users or Hackintosh users.
I will still provide my personal help to all of you if you would ask for it.
I will still build hackintoshes for fun and to help you.
