I've been on Mac since I purchased a Performa 6200 in 1996 to replace my Commodore 128. Since then I've bought 2 desktops and 5 laptops from Apple, as my entire family is Mac.
I was prepared to buy a new computer this year, but the new laptops that came out in the fall were only about 12% faster than my 2012 MacBook Pro. And run about $3100. My MacBook is still running great (typing on it right now), but wanted a dedicated computer for home recording. The laptop was out, I looked at iMacs briefly, then stumbled on Hackintosh.
For a third of what a maxed out iMac was running, I built my first Hackintosh. It took me about 3 days to build, 2 weeks to get it running smoothly software-wise, thanks to this site.
I have about 20 years of experience and thousands of dollars of software wrapped up in the Mac OS, but honestly, other than a laptop, I don't think I'll ever buy another Apple desktop. For three times the money, you get half the computer of a Hackintosh.
