Need a PC / Laptop which runs Mac OS X 10.8 smoothly

[manuvaidya]

hi guys, i am about to upgrade my laptop which i bought 7 years ago.
after using so many microsoft OSes from xp till windows 8, i feel i want more .... in terms of feel,stability & performance.
i came across few forum where they either assemble parts which runs mac os x smoothly or try to have some kexts / patches installed & run Mac OS smoothly..

all i want to know is, which laptop runs mac os x out of the box. if not, atleast with minimal help from patches, it should run mac os x.

i know this is not the right section to ask for these kind of help... but i am sure there are many people in this forum who are using mac os on ther windows PC. i want to know/learn from them which is the best bet get mac os x running on laptop or pc without buying macbook ????

help me buy components if i cant get laptop running mac os x because of the incompatible hardware components which comes built in...

i need to know which CPU/MOBO/GPU is best to run MAC OS X which i can buy here in inda...

pls throw some light in this regard or guide me with correct links or information pls...

waiting for ur reply....

A laptop which is closest to Macbook in terms of hardware would be easy to configure for MacOSX. Same logic goes for desktop also, closest to iMac. Have a look at Hackintosh thread.

Some members might jumpin stating that this is illegal.. but you are just asking which combination might be compatible.. which is fine. going for intel based config is a safer and logical bet.

Intel is the best choice. Paired with a Gigabyte motherboard. A 6xxx AMD GPU or an NVidia 6xx GPU (older models will work too).

I'm currently running Mac ML in a VM on my build (in sig). My primary OS is Win8.

yep, hence i didnt ask about how to install mac os x or where to download it... most of us know where to get it for sure.

my question is, which hardware components would be suffecient for software compatibility out of the box & should suffice for my routine use like movie watching/internet/some video conversions etc... no hard core video editing or movie making or any such professional works...

just an ordinary guy who would like to replace my windows 8 laptop & i want to totally shift to Mac OS X for all of my PC related works such a s above...
at no point of time in the future once i build mac os x , i should feel that this config could have been better or this is the drawback of mac os x on intel or non-mac..like this.
i dont want to experience such situations once i move on to hackintosh pc...

hence i am asking for some expert's advice before i make a final decision on purchase of hardware components...
pls help me on choosing particular brand or component in each category like CPU/MOBO/GPU/Sound card/WiFi/Bluetooth/Hard drive... etc
one more thing i dont want to build a top notch hackintosh... but a decent one. i am little budget constraint at present.
need to get best component & should be future proof with the least money i can pay for it...

thanks in advance & thank you for all those who helped me...

yes, i had a look at that site before coming to this forum & create a new thread...
there all the components are available in US & we dont exactly know for how much we can get those products & what would be the final cost of building such low end to high end hackintosh builds....

hence i request you pls update on the best components for dialy use hackintosh which should perform well on audio video processing & should look appealing visually... & the rest like browsing & other basic stuff if it supports thats ok for me...

awaiting your reply on this specifically pls...
one more question, why r u running Mac ML on VMware ? yours CPU is Intel right ? u can use it as secondary OS only no ?
which is ur second OS ? i mean which version & which build r u using ? like iATKOS L1 /L2 or iDeneb or Kallyway etc....
