[SUCCESS] - Acer Aspire 5745G

[doggie015]

As the title suggests; I have OSX 10.9 running on an Acer Aspire 5745G. No need for kexts or DSDT (DSDT-free Multibeast quick start install for bootloader). The graphics card (nVidia GeForce GT 330M) is the same as is used in the Mid 2010 15 inch MBP (Except for the fact that it has 1GB of graphics memory instead of 512MB), all networking works out of the box including Bluetooth, the Intel i7 (1st gen) is from the same model (Turbo to 2.8 GHz). The only things that don't work are the internal keyboard and trackpad but since I am using it as a desktop replacement on a stand I use a USB keyboard and mouse anyway! The onboard audio does not work but since I use headphones that connect via a USB sound card it is also not an issue.
