It's working! High end Hackintosh. Dual boot MacOS Big Sur 11.5.2 for daily use, Windows for gaming.

CPU: i7 10875H 2,3 GHz 8-Core

GPU: RTX3080

RAM:32 GB 2933 MHz DDR4

Laptop Make and Model: Razer Blade Advanced 2021

Screen: 15" 240Hz QHD

Audio Codec: Realtek 298

Ethernet Card: None

Wifi/BT Card: Replaced Intel card with Broadcom BCM94360NG

Storage: Added second SSD for MacOS: Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2

BIOS revision: Razer BIOS 1.03 (no mods)

WORKING:

• Screen works out of the box. Use HiDPI to get scalinghttps://github.com/xzhih/one-key-hidpi
• Audio was an absolute pain to get working, but in the end I think I just missed the correct layout-id from the wiki. Took me about three weeks of troubleshooting until today it finally started working. AppleALC Layout-id 47
• Keyboard: working, used KarabinerElements for CapsLock light. Backlight dimming works, but not able to control the RGB lighting colors. (it'll cycle through the spectrum slowly). Tried osx-razer-led and Razer MacOS but neither recognise the keyboard.
• Trackpad: working with full gestures. Stole most kexts for this. Palm rejection is not nearly as good as on an OEM Macbook.
• Wifi/BT works out of the box with the Broadcom replacement.
• iServices working: iMessage, Facetime, TimeMachine, Apple ID login, Keychain, etc
• CPU Power Management works, unable to Undervolt due to BIOS lock.
• Battery readout (battery life around 3-4 hours on light use)
• Opencore GUI UEFI menu + Boot chime

NOT WORKING:

• Features not working: Handoff, App Store login
• dGPU for obvious reasons
• HDMI out (wired directly to dGPU)
• Keyboard RGB color control

NOT TESTED:

• Thunderbolt
• SD Card reader (I'll take any advice for this)

Used Dortania's Guide for initial setup. Had trouble fixing the trackpad and gestures, so I did steal some kexts and merged config.plist to make mine work.

MacOS response is fast and smooth, like any MacBook you can buy.I love having faster hardware and gaming options while still being able to use MacOS for daily stuff!
