I didn't think I'd be doing another Hackintosh so late in the game, but here I am.

Specs:

  • Asus VivoBook S533FA-DB71-CA
  • CPU: i7-10510U
  • GPU: UHD 620
  • SSD: Intel 512GB 660p
  • RAM: 8GB (soldered, not upgradeable)
  • Audio Codec: ALC256
  • Ethernet: none
  • Wifi/BT Card: Intel AX201
  • Touchpad: ELAN1300
  • BIOS revision: 304

What's working:

  • Booting quickly to macOS Sonoma 14.5
  • Graphics acceleration
  • Wifi and Bluetooth
  • Keyboard and trackpad
  • All USB ports
  • Audio
  • Webcam
  • microSD card reader
  • Display brightness
  • Sleep and wake
  • Battery readout and charging

What’s not working (so far):

  • Unsure if sleep is actually working, SSDT customization still needs to be done
  • HDMI output (tried framebuffer-con patches which failed, possibly need a different SMBIOS)
  • Fingerprint reader (will never work)

Untested:

  • iCloud services, but I've never failed setting these up before
  • Handoff / Continuity, but I have don't ever plan on using these features
  • The second m.2 slot for an NVMe drive, but I don't anticipate problems

Other notes:

  • The laptop has a poor TN display panel that will be upgraded to IPS.
  • The build quality on this laptop is quite good with most of it being made of aluminum and the trackpad covered with glass.
  • The speakers are mediocre at best and the webcam is just plain awful.
  • I wish it charged with USB-C.
  • I'd like to dual boot with Windows 11 later on using the second m.2 slot.
  • The battery has degraded below 50% of it's rated life and I will replace it.
