Recently I did some upgrades to my computers; while doing this, I also changed my macOS system organization, and now I have two Hackintosh systems. Neither of the two aren't my first hack (that is now my main PC, that install was wiped last year); but rather my second and third hack respectively.
Second Hack specs:
- Manufacturer and Model: HP 14s-fq0015nl
- Motherboard: HP 87B7
- BIOS revision: AMI F.52
- CPU: AMD 3020e
- GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 3 (working with NootedRed)
- Storage: 128 GB Ventura SSD (and also 500GB Sonoma and Sequoia HDD plugged via USB)
- RAM: 8 GB
- Ethernet Card: None
- Wireless Card: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 (from my first hack)
- Audio Codec: ALC236
- macOS Version: Ventura 13.6.9 (22G830)
- Touchpad: Synaptics I2C
Issues:
- SD card reader not working
- No Continuity features
- Dead keyboard after sleep
Third Hack specs
- Manufacturer and Model: ASUS F554L (X555LA board)
- CPU: Intel Core i3-4030U
- GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4400
- Storage: 128 GB SSD (77.7 GB Big Sur, 50 GB 8.1, 200 MB EFI partition)
- RAM: 4 GB
- Ethernet Card: Realtek RTL8111
- Wireless Card: Qualcomm Atheros AR9565
- Audio Codec: ALC233 (detected and works, but speakers so low that it's like it doesn't work)
- macOS Version: Big Sur 11.7.10 (20G1427)
- Touchpad: ASUS PS/2 touchpad
Issues:
- Unable to change brightness unless I change screen resolution
- Trackpad being detected as mouse
- No Continuity features
- Very, very low audio
Both systems are actually very usable; the Hackintosh upgrade on the first laptop in particular was actually a game-changer compared to the Windows 11 Canary build I had installed on it until a couple days ago. On the AMD laptop, the internal disk is detected thanks to a patched SATA-unsupported.kext binary.
