I recently grabbed an ideapad as a back up laptop for when my Early 2009 MacBook's LCD backlight fails and I have to buy a new one. "why not just buy an LCD instead?" - the A1181 LCD/top cover market is really bad, and having time to wait for a good deal actually makes a 200$ thinkpad worth it.
I thought I'd play around with it for a bit (and steal the 120GB SSD out of it hue hue hue) and realized that Windows 10 still sucks, I don't have a product key for 7 or 8, and that I'd just rather have a spare OSX machine instead.
Sadly, with an "AMD A9" sticker staring at me from the palm rest I am hesitant to even bother.
Here are the specs:
AMD A9-9425 Radeon R5
AMD Radeon R5 Graphics4GB of DDR4 and a 7200 RPM 1TB Seagate I'm gonna toss in it.And of course, being a laptop, I will DEFINITELY need kexts for power management (last I checked)
So it begs the question, is this even worth attempting? I haven't seen anything on AMD A9 CPU's, just A8.
