    Best Mac to develop iOS apps

    What is the best Mac to develop iOS apps? I'm leaning to buy the cheapest Mac Mini because it is the cheapest Mac. Virtual Machine and hackintosh is just pain in the ass.

    At last may sumagot na din dito sa thread ko na 'to!

    Pero advisable ba bumili ng mga Macs ngayon? And what Mac ang binili mo?

    followed a guide i found online. of course this involves piracy, as i only use this for ios devt and will not spend a dime for fancy
    you need an 8gig flash drive btw, just google: "<gpu model> hackintosh" and find a similar build to yours then follow the instructions
    you really cant avoid bumps, so be prepared for troubleshooting devices that wont work, eve if you carefully followed each step

    as a general tip for installing hackintosh, buy hardware used on Macs. or at least buy mainstream models.

    How about your Mac OS X copy? Most of the tutorials I read used an original copy of Mac OS X Lion. And I'm not sure if a copy downloaded via torrent can be used for it.
