hackintosh laptop

[Etonic]

So my sister wnats to get a mac because shes like the ui and whatever better, but she doesnt want to fork out the $1300, so i told her about a hackintosh i've never done one and dont know anythig about it, the only experience messing wih os's is pirating windows 7, so im just wondering where to start, if its stable that she can run it normally without any issues and if a certain laptop around the $600-$700 CDN range would be best

No.

Will it do it? Yeah, sure. If she clicks update on something she shouldn't? rip in pieces. Don't do a hackintosh for someone else unless you've done it for yourself and are confident with it.

If you're not willing to cough up money when it stops working or ready to be support for everything, not doing it is the better option.
