If you need OSX for some reason (Making iPhone apps etc or just preferring it for devving) I cannot recommend a Hackintosh enough. I've got one dual booted to windows and OSX and compile time in XCode, framerate etc is so much quicker than my colleagues several grand macbook pros.

Is it a desktop or a laptop?

What about support for hardware and software? I did a quick search through hackintosh websites and it seems that there's a lot you have to deal with or renounce to have a hackintosh computer

A lot of Adobe software seems to have issues on Hackintosh and for me that's a deal breaker.

Having one yourself, do you have specific resources you can point me towards? Unlike Ben I'm not interested in having a desktop, I want a laptop.
