Hey everyone, My desktop with my two \"macs\" LENOVO M70Q :: Mac Mini 2018I made the first one in 2022, running Monterey. I chose the Mac mini because of the really similar form factor. It is currently mounted behind my screen with vesa brackets, feels really cool! Today, after some upgrades, it runs Sonoma 14.4 and everything works really nicely!
WORKING : Pretty much everything, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, Display Port, AirDrop, continuity, handoff, iMessage, FaceTime (with an iPhone as webcam/mic) ISSUES I HAD : iMessage/FaceTime were not working until I got an iPhone, it created me an iMessage key linked to my iCloud account. I also got some sleep/lag issues until I make a proper USB map. I mostly used Dortania's guide and google, reddit, etc. Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15IRH :: MacBook Pro 2019 16"This one has a MacBook 16,4 SMBIOS because this model of MacBook use an actual i7-9750h. It can dual-boot on Windows 11 or MacOS Sonoma 14.5, using rEFInd :
WORKING : Pretty much everything too, WiFi, Bluetooth, AirDrop, continuity, handoff, iMessage, FaceTime, webcam, backlight, keyboard media keys, touchpad gestures, battery indicator, sleep when lid is closed NOT WORKING : the Nvidia GPU and it's HDMI, and the audio jack sounds choppy (but fine on windows) but i use wireless eadphones so I don't really care. The speaker sound is also weaker than on Windows. ISSUES I HAD : I almost gave up when I was trying to make the trackpad move, for 2 weeks it wasn't working at all, then it was stuttering and unusable. It was a lot of time, tries, and researches over Internet. I also used Dortania's guide, and this GitHub helped me a lot. Lenovo IdeaPad L340 = MacBook Pro 16\" Both Macs are synced to my iCloud account so I can get my messages, calls, calendars, notes on every device ; I can unlock them with an Apple Watch, use an iPad as secondary display / graphic tablet ; use the MacMini as secondary display via WiFI, access each others' disks through network, etc I took me some time but I'm proud of this installation. Don't hesitate if you have questions. [link] [comments] |
