Sure, I understand. You're completely new to VMs and Hackintosh. Let me help you get started.
It seems you're looking for universities that require Macs specifically, not just for creative fields. Logic Pro and Final Cut are mainly for creative professionals, so schools focused on arts or design likely offer Adobe CC or campus Macs. For software like Davanci Resolve, Resolve, or Fruity Loops, alternatives exist without needing a Mac. A hacked system might also cause performance issues, so consider using native alternatives.
I really dislike the mac interface. It feels terrible and doesn’t support many Windows commands. A hackintosh seems like a better choice. At university they have macs running those programs and even provide licenses for Adobe, but I want to use it on my own machine instead of theirs. I just want everything in one place, you know?
Well, you're right that you can't run Windows commands on a Mac. Personally, MacOS is much better in my opinion. Its micro kernel and UNIX/BSD foundation give it an edge over Windows, which has improved but still lags behind. On laptops, MacOS offers a smoother experience overall. For desktops, I don’t really mind which operating system is installed.
It's clear you're observing differences between systems. Windows and Macs each have their own strengths, but switching to a Mac feels challenging for you. Prices also vary—your Dell XPS offers better value for higher specs than the MacBook Pro, with an i7 16GB RAM for £1100 versus Macs around £1800. That’s quite a gap!
It makes sense after all. I owned a MacBook Pro back in 2008 for a decade, and over the last couple of years I've tried many premium Windows laptops. Now I'm back here using a MacBook Pro for a good reason. Apple offers some mediocre product options, but they also have a few that really stand out.
