There's progress with the BCM cards in Sonoma with the latest OCLP. I have Intel 9560NGW in my Dell 7400, and it's working well both WiFi and BT. Location services are also available.

@pastrychef Is there any noticable difference in everyday's tasks like browsing, OS animations, etc. since you install the RX 560 or it's only noticable when gaming ? I am still thinking to get one RX 560 for my HP Mini G4 with 8500T. It works pretty well with Ventura but sometimes I feel it's...

There's nothing to upgrade to right now. That's a top notch system. In case of replacing 13700K with 13900K, the old CPU goes to ebay. My concern is - if you spend thousands of dollars for the best PC available now, and it is outdated in 2 years....we are in trouble. Doesn't matter if the...

Hacks could be a non-sense in a couple of years. On the other hand it's funny how many people have their Ryzen builds working flawlessly despite MacOS was never designed to work with AMD. So... who knows :) I use both MacOS for music production and Windows for gaming for the last 13 years. Every...

@pastrychef I see your point and for the most part I agree with you. If you can throw ~3000$ every 2-3 years for the latest and greatest that's amazing! Since Apple M1 and Intel 12th gen game was changed, and for specific tasks there will be pros and cons for the both sides. Being able to...

I agree. The problem with Mac Pro 2019 was again price/performance. With a base price of 6000$ for an 8c/16t CPU with 256 GB SSD and RX580X was already a bad deal for a workstation. Surely you can find it now for less than half the price in ebay. Also we have to mention the huge jump in...

From all said I think the only reason is just the performance compared to the workstations from Intel/AMD + discrete GPUs and tons of upgrades options. Apple chips are pretty impressive in performance to power consumption, but making the machine not upgradable at all will set a dead path for the...

40% decline sounds like a nightmare but 16GB ram for 400$ and 500GB SSD for 200$ will cover it :)

Same here! Plus updated to the latest BIOS version. Works flawlessly :)

I have both and they work flawlessly under MacOS Monterey.

It's pointless to compare Windows and Mac in this manner. Every system has it's pros and cons. Every user has it's own needs and requirements. I am using Windows and Mac for more than 15 years and honestly I don't have problems at all using any as a daily driver. I like to game on my PC...

Mac Pro will be discounted only when they have a good answer to a high end Intel/AMD workstations. As for the moment they don't. Good for us we can still build hacks. My prediction is 3 more years for Intel support.

We set the "dreaming" tone :) I would like to see an upgradable storage on both desktops and laptops in addition to @trs96's and @wstrohm's wishes :)

@brousseau6933 That's amazing! Do you have your sleep/wake working after switching to GT710 ? Are you using Logic Pro ?

Amazing! I am about to hack my Maximus VIII Gene with Ventura, that's a promissing step :) Thank you! Do you have the BCM94360NG card ?

@pastrychef You have a strong point here. I agree! Apple needs to step more into gaming. I do use my Hack's for music production and Windows for gaming. Both systems can be used for a daily drivers. Windows 11 is working pretty well lately, my laptop has a greater battery life compared to last 3...

Surely that's very personal. Hackintoshing is a process of learning, building, many errors and after long way headbanging eventually good results. It's a passion. The most fun I have with hackintosh is still my Z77 PC :) It's old, slow and stinky, but the process of getting something to work...

MacPro is definitely dead. I don't believe they will put it back on the table anytime soon. That M2 mini looks sweet, despite the good price to performance I still lean more to the hackintosh side...It's so hard to left that field of freedom and customization options that I get used to for...

@trs96 Always pragmatical! Cheers my friend! :thumbup:

Apple is more likely to solder your wallet to their system instead of allowing you to change anything... :) I believe hackintoshing is way more reasonable still, at least for the next 3-4 years.
