 Everybody right here in this video. I'd really like your opinion on something Do you think it's a better idea to go with a brand new? 2019 iMac that was just released last week for 4k video editing or to build a hackintosh So in this video, we're gonna go through some of the specs What it would cost for similar machines and what it would cost to build on myself And then I'd like to get your feedback if you've built a hackintosh in the past or if you're thinking of building one I'd like to hear about what you think in the comments section below Let's have a look at some of the specs of the new iMac and we'll compare it to what it would cost to build a hackintosh All right, so here we are with a new iMac So you can get them now with an 8 core 9th gen Intel 5 gigahertz, but if you want to add RAM it's gonna cost you a lot of money now I know you can add RAM yourself after that's probably the cheaper version I just want to click on this in case you're not somebody that wants to add RAM yourself Just to see what it would cost now you can get all of these components to build a hackintosh. So you can see down here It's about three thousand seven hundred ninety nine dollars So I went ahead and I looked at some parts So we would need a case in order to build a hackintosh. We'd need a motherboard We'd need the Intel i9 the same processor. Here's the same graphics card You can see they're a lot more affordable You can see the RAM instead of paying a thousand bucks to Apple you could always just upgrade your RAM yourself But if you're going to build a hackintosh, you can see the RAM is only 358 So you can see that Mac is charging a premium for some of these things you can see there's an SSD a very fast SSD and then you've got your water cooler and then your power supply now This is more designed for photographers and videographers So it's a little bit more color accurate than what you would get with the iMac display So I've done the math of gone ahead and to get all these components to run a hackintosh It's probably going to cost you about three thousand dollars So not a huge savings between this one here where you see the bigger jump is if you go with the iMac Pro And then you want to start specking this out So you really see this price comparison more so pairing it to say an iMac Pro So let me know what you think do you think it's a better idea to go the hackintosh route? I mean some of the benefits are you can upgrade your video card You can upgrade your processor you can upgrade all the components you can service it yourself if you had a problem and Some of the downside is you have to figure out how to install the Mac software and how to keep that up to date and how to get Everything working, so it's a bit of a downside There's a bit of a savings obviously especially the higher you go the more you want to speck out an iMac Pro And also there's the heat considerations, too If you think about how small the iMac enclosure is you don't really have that airflow your processor is going to run Really hot so those are some considerations But if you like ease of use then you use or the iMac and it shows up and everything's gonna work So let me know what you think have you built a hackintosh in the past was it worth it? Would you do it again in the future or would you just buy an iMac? Let me know in the comments section below Should I buy a new iMac speck it out or should I build my own and if I do decide to build my own? I think I'll do a video about it and I'll walk you through step by step How I first do the build and then how I do the software part of it, too So that'll be interesting. Let me know what you want to see in the comment section below anyway Thanks for watching this video. Let me know what you think and I'll see you in the next one
