This is exactly or at least very close to what I'm looking for.

I guess what I'm really looking to know is, if I buy a 2,000$ laptop off a website like, and seek to replace the windows OS with Mac OS, am I making a decision that could cause stability issues? Or should I just spend my 2,000$ on a Macbook if I really want to use Mac OS X?

The OS is really all I'm looking for, is this a wise decision? Or could messing with the Bios in this way potentially cause some problems. However, based on the budget I have for this particular laptop (~2000$) I would much rather spend it on a windows based PC and get better componants than spend the same on a Macbook Pro. As well as to experiment with the Mac OS, after all this time without having ever used the OS, I'm very eager to try it out.

First off, I'd like to know if the process involved in installing Mac OS X on a windows based laptop (replacing the windows OS not necessarily dual booting) is an advisable decision.įor school next year, I would like to have a laptop with Mac OS so that I can use certain software (mainly Final Cut Pro).
