If you can’t afford or don’t want to buy a used Mac for this, I recently set up MacOS 26 on a Thinkpad t480s I had lying around. Turns out if you just google specific laptop model + hackintosh, you’ll easily find out if it’s a well supported model for hackintosh.

However whether or not this would work on a brand new Apple account or you’d just get banned for suspicious activity, I have no idea. My account is old and I have an iPhone, so it wasn’t as suspicious to them I think.
