You may of caught a video we did recently

talking about a very unusual Nuc, but this is

your getting a thunderbolt port there's a lot to like.

Anyway so the plan is very simple this NUC is actually

pretty Hackintoshable this is a quad-core Core i5

now with these Nucs they don't come completely

ready to go out of the box, so we have everything

we need except for the RAM as well as the SSD

it's really simple, where it's gonna' be a little

- So with this particular model the Wi-Fi card

and Bluetooth card are not compatible with Mac OS.

it's actually soldered to the motherboard.

most of the time you can get like 80% data

but usually your going to need like dongles

or usually especially when it comes to Wi-Fi

that's supported by MAC OS, but just to give a little

bit of a context here right, compared to a Mac mini

so if we got the Core-i3 version which is quad-core

is which what we have in here and then 512 Gigs SSD

the Mac mini would cost $1400 straight from Apple,

you know the brand of RAM and SSD you went with.

- The important thing is we can actually hook up

for, a third the price, I mean we don't have a monitor but

unless things have changed you do need a Mac

- Yeah, so you have to have an existing Mac

which, have here then you'll prep it with something

called UniBeast which will create a bootable USB drive

- [Austin] Which is right here already have it installed

- You're definitely losing some things when you're

going with the Hackintosh but just considering

that this is smaller than a Mac mini it should be

roughly equivalent, and we're talking about something

I'm just really curious to see how it all works.

First of all, shout-out to Quin, SnazzyQ.

- Well yeah obviously we had to be superior

do a better version, otherwise it's stealing.

So if I fire this up it should start to boot right?

- Yeah it will boot into the Nucs splash screen first

and then it should go into the clover boot screen,

- Damn that's the thing man, I love doing Hackintosh stuff

I mean it's cool and I think it's one of those things

where it's maybe not like a badge of honor for a nerd

like oh I built a computer I made a Hackintosh but

it's one of those things where you have to have

some patience you have to kinda' sorta' learn

how to do it and be ready to tinker on things right

So looks like we are into the language setup

it literally took like 20 minutes to boot.

- [Matt] Reboot and select proper media boot device.

format it as Mac OS extended as apposed to Apple file.
