Hello everyone,
Thanks for the opportunity to ask for your support and advice. I’m considering to build a Hackintosh, but I’ve some questions and I hope y’ll can help out.
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator and since a short while I’m trying to learn After Affects. My Macbook Pro (check specs below) works okay with adobe CC (illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop). But it having some issues with After Affects. It’s not running al that smooth, so I want a more stable Hactkintosh that works fine with after affects.
Macbook pro Specs:
- macbook pro retina
- 2,7 GHz ic i5
- 8 GB 1967 MHz DDR3
- Intel Iris graphics 6100 1536 MB
For your information.
- Mostly I work with vector graphics
- Sometimes I work with indesign files containing 80-100 pages and high-res photos
- Sometimes I work with big photoshop files. 500 mb - 1 gb
- I also work with audio (garageband, composing 5 min. songs)
- The animations and motion graphics, I’m planning to make, will be around 5 min .
- Right now, I work with two screens (DELL ULTRASHARP U2414H screen and the screen of my macbook)
- I’m planning to buy a 4k monitor to replace the macbook
- I have an official license of adobe creative suite. So it’s important that I can update and install my adobe software
Budget
Somewhere around 1000 - 1200 euro’s (without a monitor)
Summarized
I would like to build a Hackintosh that works perfect voor graphic design, illustration and motion design.
Example
I found this video. Does his setup fit me needs?
I hope you guys can help out what hardware will fit my needs. Thanks so much.
Best,
Nilou
