Hey guys, i had my Hackintosh Laptop ready and working a while now and i decided to share this with you in case someone is looking for a affordable Hackintosh Laptop that works great and my model even has a nvidia 920mx so if you decide to go for dual boot you even have a nice budget laptop for some games.

Here are the basics first. Screenshot1

Model: Lenovo 100-15IBD 80QQ00T2GE

Using the MacBook Pro Retina 13'' SMBios for full CPU support

CPU: i3-5005u (Mac shows it as i7 but thats just cosmetics, cpu is propper clocked and bus ratio working)

RAM: 8gb

HD: 128gb SSD

Network: LAN working (Realtek 8111 - kext needed)

WLAN: changed the WiFi Card to an Atheros AR5BHB92 so WiFi works OOTB. No Whitelisted Bios needed.

USB2.0 and 3.0 working OOTB

GPU: Intel 5500 working NOT out of the Box. Patch needed see screenshot>

This Laptop Model has either a 920m or 920mx inside depending on what model you pick. However since Mac / Hackintosh does not support Optimus you cannot use the descrete GPU - it will be recognized but not functional- unless you use it regually in Windows (Dualboot)

Sound: 100% working with newest Voodoo

Webcam: works OOTB

iCloud and iMessage working 100% since i used a Custom SMBIOS / SerialNumber which you can create your own with Clover Configurator.

Alright, as im not a pro i will not give a detailed installation Guide however a quick basic guide which should help with most of it and there are different methods out there anyways.

For my installation i used PandorasBox on a regular Mac to create my Installation Medium for Sierra on a USB Stick.

To avoid Kernel Panics and GPU errors you have to boot with nv_disable and disable InjectIntel for the Installation and the Post Boot into mac until you have Clover installed and you can Patch the IntelBDW. As i knew i wanted DualBoot for Windows too i made sure that whilst installing i had created a 2nd Partition for Windows whilst Installing Sierra.

When Sierra Install is finished, boot via your USB Stick to your Laptop HD, install Clover Configurator, and set everything up to your liking, also make sure Clover is installed on the EFI Partition and not on your MacHD. Configure the Intel GPU , restart and you should be good to go with Booting without the USB Stick. Now you can configure all the optional stuff if you want iCloud and iMessage to work etc. Also you can now install Windows 10 on your 2nd Partition.

Windows WILL override your EFI Partition, go get your Mac Bootloader back, all you have to do is Boot with your USB Stick into your Mac Partition, and remove the "Microsoft" folder from your EFI Partition. You now have Mac and Windows on your bootloader and ready to use both!

See screenshot here>> Screen1 Screen2

Keep in mind that Windows updates can again override your EFI, so make sure you have a USB Stick ready to boot into mac and delete the folder again.

I guess that pretty much sums it up, the Laptop has put me back about 350€ and the WiFi card i got from ebay for about 10€ basically 360€ for a "fully" working Mac and a budget style gaming Windows Laptop thanks to the 920mx GPU - i would highly recommend this Laptop to anyone who is looking into getting a DualBoot machine!

edit: i tried to format the text a bit, but im horrible, so im sorry in advance
