When starting with Hackintoshing the best place to start your build would undoubtedly be Dortania. Everything there has been well documented, each and every quirk has been throughly explained and still if you are facing issues, I would recommend to re-read the entire documentation or search for relevant terms. If you still don't get it, then you can always head over to these discord servers for further help and clarification -
Although Hackintoshing is legal as long as the builds are not commercialized, apple does frown upon such devices as they are not authorized by apple. So, there is a chance you might face issues with your apple ID if you do something stupid.
That being said, there are many other reasons why one would want to install macOSX on a non-apple device.
- Budget Issues
- Gaming (Using the same device for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux)
- Developing apps for iOS and Mac or making existing applications cross-compatible
- Just for Aesthetics (Gotta be honest, Mac OS does look good)
Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that generally hackintoshes are far from perfect. One might still get kernel panics, hardware failure, dips in performance, etc. However Open core is still in development and is being constantly being worked upon and for most cases it works just great despite being in a BETA stage.
Especially on this device stuff such as bluetooth and wifi would not work with the WLAN that the manufacturer ships it with. You will not get the desired battery life in macOS either because it drains at a much more faster rate.
