What's a fella like me supposed to do?!?!?! (Score: 0)

I'm going to need a new computer within the next 12 to 18 months. Since I'm considering buying a MacBook, and they aren't cheap at all, I'd want this computer to be viable for many years to come. Now I've been hearing that Broadwell-based Mac laptops will likely be available late this year or early next year. Should a fella like me buy one of those, or should I wait until Skylake is available and used in MacBooks so that there's a greater likelihood of me getting a laptop that uses DDR4 RAM? I'm pretty sure I'll be able to wait. DDR4 sounds like absolutely sweetness to me, and if it will prolong the useful life of an expensive laptop purchase, then I would have no problem waiting!

"Since I'm considering buying a MacBook"

I think I see your problem. ;)

That, and the whole weird "fella" thing.

Seriously, spend $500 on a good hackintosh laptop now, and another $500 on a better hackintosh in 2 years. Problem solved, and you've saved several thousand dollars.

What about my time? When I buy a MacBook, I know I'll get a laptop that will mostly work with little effort on my part, and it will be relatively durable, even if it is expensive. I don't want to spent $500 on a non-Apple laptop and then waste $5000 of my time trying to get OS X to run on it, to only get it kind of working in the end, just so I can avoid buying a $2000 laptop. A fella like me just doesn't have time to waste on crap like that!
