Not an Apple user here, but I needed to run a software that will only run on Mac OS.
But I'll use it prob only 1 hour/month. Doesn't look like it justify the cost of buying a Mac just to run it.

I have the license for the software, just not the infra to support it. Any idea how I could get my hands on one for short term? Cyber cafe, Virtual Mac or maybe rental?
I'm not planning on a Hackintosh or anything.

You can think about surveying Lazada and purchase a refurbished Mac Mini unit.

Thanks for the suggestions.

So far, I'm leaning towards Macincloud. Virtual Mac rental.
They charge by the hour, so should be cheaper for what I'm doing.

This works well, currently running Sierra and Xcode to push Kodi to my iPhone and iPad Pro using a personal developer account. Have to resign package every 7 days.
