Hello.
Please forgive me lack of details. I'm looking for a new laptop for my daughter, not expensive (up to £400), something she could use longer than a year, with hackintosh as a side project in mind, so she could use Win/MacOSX/Linux systems and learn different apps.
My first choice is 15" HP Pavilion http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...165sa-15-6-laptop-neon-pink-10030263-pdt.html or blue version. I'm quite sure, that colour means more than CPU and RAM for 11 years old girl, so I can pick any config as long as laptop looks nice and isn't too heavy.
My second choice is this one: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...15-r150sa-15-6-laptop-black-10034877-pdt.html
I wonder if any of these may be transformed to hackintosh. I tried to find some troubleshooting for these models but without success. It doesn't mean they will work out of the box. I'm quite new in hackintosh realm and it remind me walking in a dense fog, so I'll be grateful for any directions. I think it's better to ask before purchase than looking for solutions after installation failure. Is there any list of successful builds on modern laptops? I googled but only found a very old netbooks compatibility list. What's yours experience? Should I go for HP or maybe Lenovo or Acer?
If these two above are not compatible with mavericks/yosemite, maybe some other laptop from this price range would be good? http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...1-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-criteria.html
maybe this one? (my third choice) http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...ible-touchscreen-laptop-red-10022728-pdt.html
Sorry that I can't be more specific.
Thanks
PS: and sorry for my english too.
