Yes I'm at the crossroads but I want to be able to have a laptop to take as well and the new mac line up is just not for me. Thats great info that the Hackintosh computers are still kicking because I had mostly ruled that out after not hearing much about them over the past few years. Mind sharing your build? :D

My build:

  - Intel 7700k
  - Geforce 1080
  - Asus ROG Strix Z270E
  - Samsung Evo 960 NVMe
The process is much easier than it was years ago - especially if you can find a few people that got it working with the same motherboard.

1) Make a standard install USB

2) Run Clover Configurator on the USB with standard settings + tweaks based on your GPU and motherboard (you can find suggestions on /r/hackintosh and the TonyMac forums)

3) Install and boot

4) Tweak the Clover configuration on the EFI partition to fix any random remaining issues you find like USB or audio.
