A developer manages to run macOS 27 on an ASUS laptop with a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor
It seems that it has become fashionable to move operating systems from one platform to another, unsupported projects carried out by the user community. We have already seen before how the hackintoshes tried to imitate a Mac Pro with PC components, to which the Apple operating system could be installed. Now the developer Miguel C has achieved with the project Snapintosh puts macOS 27 on a laptop with a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor.

The project has been underway for a few weeks now, and with this update we have achieved fix most graphics problemsalthough it still needs tuning for performance. The user is running the latest version of Apple’s operating system, known as Golden Gate, on a laptop ASUS Zenbook A16 which has the most powerful Qualcomm processor.
The developer tells us that he has made great progress since September, since in the beginning he managed to start with difficulty. The new screenshots show that the system now reaches the operating interface with the Liquid Glass layer, rendered with the hardware of this laptop designed for Windows, and with hardware acceleration using the GPU of this Snapdragon processor.
The project also targets other devices with Arm processors
It looks like this project can also run on older Qualcomm processors, like the original Snapdragon. In addition, the user has also commented that it can be brought to Android tablets. If you have wanted to use macOS and you only have a PC with Snapdragon or an Android Tablet, this may be the opportunity to install it on your device to enjoy the advantages of Apple’s operating system.
