Ethernet doesn't work. I have tried it in both Monterey and Sonoma and couldn't get it to work for some reason.

HDMI port doesn't output audio for some reason. It's too much work to get it working so I am not bothered.

Audio, Wifi and Bluetooth might work for you but it didn't work for me because my Laptop's antenna wire got cut off after the hinge broke. Audio got affected by this too somehow so it's introducing interference. Wifi and Bluetooth do work but their range is severely hampered due to it.

Instead, I am using a cheap TP-Link USB Wifi card which is slow but at least gets wifi working in the mean time.

The laptop supports touch screen and SD card reader but I didn't install the kexts for them because I didn't have any particular use for either of them. Both seem to be supported.

The laptop has a discrete GPU which is the GK208M variant of the GT 740M but seems like its not supported. Only the GK107M version is supported by MacOS so I disabled it with '-wegnoegpu'
