Get an old old old Mac pro from ages ago. Upgrade its motherboard. Then upgrade its RAM. Then upgrade its hard drive. Then upgrade its power supply. It will still be an "Apple-branded computer" because of its case. It will just have received a bunch of upgrades. Big "haha" to them.

(Or if you're actually a corporation just buy a Mac.)




That sounds like a waste of time and money.


Definitely not a waste of money. Apple charges $1200+ for a soldered-in 4TB SSD that I can buy for $400 and upgrade in the future.

IMO their price gouging is ethically much worse than someone making a hackintosh and using it to enrich the MacOS software ecosystem.


Shortcut: Build a hackintosh, then stick it in an Apple case. Profit.
