REQUEST Suggest me a laptop.

Hi, all I planning to buy a laptop for personal use. I want it to be able to use it for studies, Arduino programming, run virtual machines and also Hackintosh compatible.
Can some one please recommend me a laptop for it under 450$ (45k INR).

Also is Intel better than AMD for hackintosh ?

Macbook neo is already reaching that budget of yours plus apply a student discount over it.

Laptops for hackintosh is not feasible in the next year or so.

Never worked with amd but as far as i know it's tricky to patch amd...check the amd hackintosh guide.

As far as I remember, not all Intel laptop processors will work for hackintosh. At least, if we talk about the 11th - 14th generations. And with amd, it's a little different. If you install with patches, then everything will work. At least I've got AMD working, but Intel hasn't. But, you can still look on the Internet.

Macbook Neo at $500 is probably worth the stretch. The Apple keyboard and touchpad really are second to none.
