You cannot beat an HP ProBook 4x40s for compatibility and ease of installation. But almost any average Intel laptop meets your needs.
 
That laptop isn't available in Australia (or near where I am anyway)
Is that ASUS F550LD-XO225H F550 Hackintoshable and I know that the Wifi Card will have to be replaced and which Wifi Card do you reccommend
Another thing which parts of the ASUS will be compatible and is there any special steps I need to do to get it working and are there any dsdt's or kexts I need to install??


Thanks

For the most part, you won't know all the details until you have the laptop and start working with it.

Install PS2 drivers for your ELAN trackpad.

According to specs you provided, probably not.

and also could you provide me with a link for the trackpad drivers
Click to expand...

Google can help you find things. I don't have any ELAN trackpad hardware, so don't keep track of the location of an appropriate driver.

and does everything work and Which multibeast options do I select

No idea. You have to discover/troubleshoot/fix issues one at a time.
