Looking back on 7 months working with, it I don't regret it at all.
Putting all the hardware together was the easy part, making macOS work was tough, but I did it. After Apple showed us the future of professional hardware with the iMac Pro, I was fed up with the situation and I started to investigate the possibility of building my own Hackintosh. But hiding away all those cables was a chore. During the time of trash can Mac Pro, I worked on a 5K iMac, because I really liked the hi-resolution display.
Hackintosh build same as 2018 mac pro pro#
After going through all that, you weren't able to see the Mac Pro anymore, because it was littled in cables and your working place became really noisy from small fast spinning fans inside external enclosures.įast forward 5 years and Apple still doesn't have a solution that satisfies customers that have extensive need for customization and specialized workflows. You had to use the thunderbold ports for everything, display, external storage, dongles etc. The machine was not upgradeable and had limited internal storage. And it had Thunderbolt ports that in theory should have satisfied any need for extension. The new Mac Pro was fast and had a decent graphics card, at least at the time. In 2013 Apple told us, that we should move from an all integrated tower style Mac Pro to a smaller machine that instead of putting under a desk, we should show off on top of the desk.
