Hello fellow humans

 

Is it possible to make my MacBook Pro utilize the hardware in my pc? I know its possible to get external GPU's and stuff, but i don't shit money in my sleep. But I do have a sort of powerfull pc.

 

So what I need to know is, if its possible to use my pc as an external hardware set aside windows and such. Its for editing sound and video/ pictures, heavy editing

 

Macbook Pro specs:

2013

CPU: Intel i7 2.8 GHz

Ram: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

          Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

 

PC Spec:

CPU: i7 7700k Skylake 4.2 GHz

Ram: HyperX Fury 2400 MHz 32 GB

GPU 2x GeForce 1080 GTX 8 GB

 

haalllpppp

Does it have service hatches? One thing with Apple is (has been) that they don't really allow any major hardware changes. With other laptops you can usually switch main drive, possibly M.2 drive (maybe mPCIe cards), add RAM and stuff like that. But Apple has kept their compability by not allowing such. Not easy at least. I think they allow drive change on desktop models.

I don't think I can switch drives, but if there is some way I can have my Mac besides my pc, running macosx, and then untilize the hardware from the pc, as external power, as to what it lags it self when editing and having heavy workloads. One thing I could do, would be to install hackintosh(macosx) on the pc, and then crack all the programs I use for editing, but I don't wanna do that, since I need it for professional use, and I already paid for all the programs. But im really stuck, because I can't find anything or anyone who has done this, or at least, I don't know who to talk to, or who would know anything about it.

Using computer to assist another isn't a thing. Not in regular usage. You would need to have software which supports it.

 

I don’t comment on hackintosh as forum has 0 tolerance on that topic.
