Wonkey - I'm ready to reboot my Hackintosh efforts after
failing somewhat miserably trying to make things work with a D34010WYK back in March. This time I'm around I'm trying to buy the best hardware for the job before getting underway. Been reading a lot here, wanted to get your most current opinion about hardware that's readily available today.
My personal preferences:
- Path of least resistance with least amount of fiddling is highly valued.
- I'd prefer to be on a Broadwell NUC.
- Wifi is not that important to me, but GigE definitely is.
In Post #8 here, you did a really nice job of comparing the
NUC models vs. Apple hardware. Based on this, it seemed like the NUC5i5RYK and NUC5i5RYH were closest to the current MacBook Airs (same CPU and Graphics).
If I'm not mistaken, other posts I've read on the forums here indicate you prefer the "
MYHE" models, because of the ability to put in a compatible third party wifi card. But unless I'm mistaken, at present, all of the current MYHE have HD5500 Graphics, which no Apple hardware does today (and likely won't). I'm leaning towards NUC5i5RYK or NUC5i5RYH but before I buy anything I'd really love your opinion. I promise to post all of my results and contribute.
Thanks again for all of your effort and support!
P.S.: In case you were wondering, my D34010WYK is now a perfectly happy dual boot Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 preview box that lives in a conference room. It really is a great little piece of hardware, much faster than I ever expected it to be.
