Let's see why people like this Mac thing so much...

Pointless running OSX in a VM. Half the experience is in using the hardware. Windows on Mac hardware is great.

@drRoss The hardware is good, but it's nothing special (on the dekstop). You can build a better PC for half the price.
The software seems to be the thing that sets them apart and I just want to see if it's really that much better.

@franga2000 I will have to agree with @drRoss here. You will not get native hardware access via VM. Everything will lag and it will be horrible. At the end, you will end up not enjoying it.

Virtualbox would be bad as a first experience for even Linux imo, but for Mac it's particularly bad. There's no integration, no proper video drivers, and the compositor will be pretty broken. It's basically only useful for people needing to use macOS to build their software.

I know the performance will be terrible, but I don't really care. I just want to know more about the system and what it can do. There's nothing that could convince me to switch anyway.

there is no lag on vmware macos. everything work fine (except macos ux and ui itself, very terrible os). i use it on windows and i7.

@franga2000 I'm not talking about the spec, I'm talking about the way the hardware feels.

Honestly, I've never been satisfied by the feel of any other laptop but my MacBook Pro.

The touchpad is great, the keyboard is lovely. It's all part of the OSX experience.

@drRoss I know, I can see the appeal of their laptops, but their desktops aren't all that special. In general, there's not much more to desktop computers than the specs.

I like that you're running kde.

@drRoss There are many custom pc or hackintoshes that outperforms mac pc or imac. The only good thing in apple laptops is the battery and trackpad.

I installed hackintosh once on my HP pro book... Trust me windows ran smoother inside parallels vmp than when installed directly.

@mohammed I'm not talking about the processor or RAM. I'm talking about the chassis.
