Thanks, Ronni for the advice.
It is time to replace my old Macbook Pro (15" 1Tb), and (last time I
looked) the new MB Pro was only available in 13" and 500Gb. This
comprised less functionality than my current 4yo model.
I was considering if I could leverage other hardware to provide a 15"
1Tb solution, but this seems problematic.
I also now see that Apple provides a 15" 1Tb model, but it's /bloody/
expensive.
I guess I could go with the 13" 500Gb model and use it with and external
flash drive and screen, but that's sort of clumsy.
How have others handled this problem?
Any feedback welcome...

Hello Rob,
I certainly would not recommend it, or give advice on Hackintoshing.
" Apple designed Mac OS X so that only Macs can run it. If you attempt
to stick a Mac OS X installation disc into any computer that isn't
made by Apple, it simply won't work. Unlike the Windows or Linux
operating systems, Mac OS X normally requires a very specific set of
hardware to run.
Hackintoshing is the process of overcoming these limitations, by
installing extra software with Mac OS X that adds support to a wider
range of hardware
Having compatible hardware in a Hackintosh (a PC running Mac OS X
<http://www.macbreaker.com/p/what-is-hackintoshing.html>) makes the
difference between success and failure. If you're interested in
installing Mac OS X on your PC, it's important to know what hardware
is compatible and what isn't. Hackintosh compatibility varies,
depending on whether your computer was self-built or prebuilt, and
whether it's a desktop PC or a laptop."
Regards,
Ronni

Greetings
I'm looking at upgrading my hardware.
Is it still the case that you can install OSX on non-mac intel based
hardware?
