:-(
I'm not sure I can wait so long because my wife's 8-9 yo Macbook is
really getting to the end of its days, and I was going to pass my old
MBP on to her before she goes on a long cruise in early October...
Oh well.... :-(

Hi Rob,
Hang on for a bit longer as we're expecting the new 15" MacBook Pro to
be announced in October, alongside an upcoming iPad.
Cheers,

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?
