Hi,
I'm currently in desperate need of some expert help for my current situation. I need to create/build a mobile music production computer that allows me to run ProTools 12 and my Focusrite Clarrett Audio Interface via Thunderbolt 2. Here is what I currently have:
imac (27-inch, Mid 2011)
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Storage 1Tb HD
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Running version 10.11.6
Two years ago I was going to build a hackintosh, but ended up buying this imac. I've really enjoyed it, but need to adjust my setup to accommodate some lifestyle changes. I currently have no funds for this build, so my budget will be whatever I can sell the imac for. Its in nearly excellent condition, despite being a 2011 model.
Here are my questions:
What are my options?
Are there laptops that are suitable for this project?
I've also thought of a mac mini hackintosh with iPad/tablet setup? Although I really don't want to have to rely on 120v power source, which is why I am leaning towards a laptop setup.
Would a laptop and iPad/tablet combination be possible? I'd like to try and expand my screen size, especially after getting so use to a 27 inch imac.
Do you think I'll realistically be able to sell the imac and have enough to fund the hackintosh?
Hopefully this thread is is the right place. New Member.
Thanks,
Ryan
