I have this laptop working to the point that it's useable for my needs.
It's not my usual stopping point, I prefer all features working.
Since it's not my main system, and serves as a utility computer, it's fine.
It's a very functional laptop, offering some features Apple no longer has such as DVD Drive.
Apple closing users out of their computer's insides is driving me more to Hackintosh.
I have owned many Macs but it's becoming harder to justify the lack of flexibility.
My ProBook is i7, it runs quiet, cool, and is fast for what it is.
I have attached all the usual files requested for those that might want to make it more functional.
Just about everything is working, so I will only list what isn't or has issues.
I use Clover and have included all my installed files.
I have also included Linux dump files, lots of useful stuff.
Also my DSDT has been edited, some may say I should have this and that.
The DSDT is what works, anything else is not necessary.
Initailly I tried RehabMan's HotPatch.
I didn't like what seems like a shotgun approach.
Besides I want to know what is installed and for what purpose.
So I did a manual install, narrowing down to essential files that work.
The only thing I might like to fix is native audio,
And a reboot issue when running on DC power.
Other than that it's not a big concern.
Overall Rehabman saved me a lot of time, many Thanks.
