Hackintosh laptops are sometimes referred to as Hackbooks. Apple's for macOS only permits the software's use on computers that are 'Apple-branded.'

However, because modern Macintosh computers use, there are few limitations keeping the software from running on other types of Intel-based PCs. Notably, companies such as have attempted to release products using macOS on non-Apple machines, though many Hackintosh systems are designed solely by macOS enthusiasts of various hacking forums and communities. While the methods Apple uses to prevent macOS from being installed on non-Apple hardware are protected from commercial circumvention in the by the (DMCA), specific changes to the law regarding the concept of have placed circumvention methods like these into a.

( September 2015) Mac OS X v10.4 'Tiger' [ ] On June 6, 2005, Apple announced their plans to switch to processors at their and released a Developer Transition Kit to selected developers at a cost of $999 (equivalent to $1,280 in 2018). Efforts immediately began to attempt to run Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware, but developers quickly found themselves with an error message saying that the PC hardware configurations were not supported.

Apple released on January 10, 2006 Mac OS X 10.4.4 with the first generation of Intel-based Macs, the iMac and the MacBook Pro. These machines used (EFI) platform firmware instead of the older style found on most x86 motherboards at the time. On February 14, 2006, an initial 'hack' of Mac OS X v10.4.4 was released on the Internet by a programmer with the pseudonym crg92. Within hours Apple released the 10.4.5 update, which was patched again by the same author within two weeks.

On April 3, 2006 Apple released their 10.4.6 update and again patches were released within two weeks that allowed users to install most of this update on non-Apple computers, although this did not include the updated kernel in 10.4.6. In June, the hackers released the 10.4.7 Mac OS X update for non-Apple computers using the 10.4.4 kernel.

Up to the release of the 10.4.8 update, all OSx86 patches used the 10.4.4 kernel with the rest of the operating system at version 10.4.8. However, the newer frameworks relied on the newer kernels and this led to users of 10.4.8 encountering many problems. Apple also started making more use of instructions on their hardware making it even more difficult for users with CPUs supporting only SSE2 (such as older ) to get a fully compatible system running.

To solve this problem, hackers from the community released kernels where those instructions were emulated with equivalents, although this produced a performance penalty. Throughout the years, many 'distros' were released for download over the Internet. These distros were copies of the Mac OS X installer disc modified to include additional components necessary to make the OS run on the non-Apple hardware.

A prominent member of the community, JaS, released many distros of Mac OS X Tiger containing patched kernels. Some other popular distros are iATKOS, Kalyway, iPC, iDeneb, and Niresh. Distros have fallen out of favour as the OSx86 community grew, as new bootloaders were developed that made it possible to use actual copies of the OS X Installer. Mac OS X v10.5 'Leopard' [ ].
