I am planing to save a lot of money to purchase a new computer to replace my deceased Mac mini. I have a laptop but this laptop is not too powerful to run smoothly virtual machine of Hackintosh or Windows 10.

  • I will use Linux as the main desktop and plan to install Hackintosh on 2nd external /internalSSD;
  • On Linux, I want to play heavy IDEs, as JetBeans apps, and Android Studio, and Atom, Emacs, Neovim and VSCode;
  • On Linux, I want to run smooth a virtual machine of Hackintosh or of Windows 10;
  • I want to play Affinity Designer, Glyphs Pro and Sketch on the virtual machine of Hackintosh and to play Affinity Designer on virtual machine of Windows 10;

  • 3rd external/internal HDD – 1TB – for backup of both Linux and Hackintosh
