Hi Guys! I'm new here so if this isn't in the right section than my bad lol 😅 Basically, I've been given this laptop by a friend as they no longer need it. I'm not exactly in need of another laptop... But, this actually a pretty nice machine! With a decent full HD 1080P LG panel, nice keyboard and trackpad. It actually runs as a pretty fast machine for a laptop just bordering on mid-range! Given these few things, I think it could make a pretty decent Hackintosh project. It's rocking: - An Intel Pentium N6000 Silver CPU (Jasperlake). - 4GB LPDDR4 RAM. - (Not many people have been able to find this info but w/ some digging) Intel UHD Icelake G1 Graphics or its production name "32EU". - Realtek ALC 256 Audio. - Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter. I can't find a single darn article about Jasperlake & Hackintoshing on Google. I saw somebody say the Pentium graphics aren't supported but it has to be, being an Icelake-based platform. Although, I used the Icelake EFI file and it wouldn't even boot. I got a completely black screen. I've done a couple of Hackintosh projects before using the OpenCore guide and The Olarila method. Both were simple and easy to follow. With a couple of articles, I was up in a matter of hours. This being a sort of "unsupported" machine (as it's Pentium-based W/ Unsupported Graphics) it is a little more difficult to source the correct info for it. But I think it just may be possible! The specs are actually perfectly fine for MacOS BigSur which is my target OS. Mojave and Catilina are also options too. It's basically a little more snappy than a 2013 MacBook Air. Anyone think it's possible?! I'm willing to put the time needed into this as a fun little weekend gag so that shouldn't be an issue. Looking forward to hearing your response! Thanks, MegatronsKneecap.
