Can I install Mac OS on a Windows 8.1 Intel Core i3 machine?

I have Windows 8.1 installed with Core i3 on a Lenovo G580 laptop. Is there a way that the I can partition and run a Mac OS on the same device? I'm getting fed up of Windows 8.1 and updates since the big upgrade to 8.1 which don't install.


Thanks


Steve
