Original Question:
I just got a ThinkPad T470. I've always been interested in hackintosh but never paid any attention to the details or steps because I never had compatible hardware. I just got this laptop and wondering where do I get started? I have the following doubts.
- Do I need a macbook to get started?
- If I fail during the process, can I just quit and install linux again?
-
This laptop, right now only has 8GB RAM and a 1366x768 screen. Is it worth hackintoshing it? I have no plans to upgrade the parts right now.
Any guides will help. Thanks in advance.
