Has anyone tried installing on the new Lenovo LaVie Z or Z360 Laptops?
http://shop.lenovo.c...s/lenovo/lavie/
It is lighter than the new macbook, has a better processor (Intel Core i7-5500U Processor - 2.40GHz 1600MHz 4MB), better graphiics (Intel HD Graphics 5500), same memory (8.0GB LPDDR3-1600 LPDDR3 1600 MHz) and either a 13.3" WQHD (2560 x 1440) LED anti-glare screen (LaVie Z) or 13.3" IPS Multi-touch 2560x1440 display (LaVie 360).
I have already preordered a Macbook, but would cancel my order and get one of these instead if you think I can get Yosemite running. I have built a few desktop hackintoshes (I am posting this from my Gigabyte Core i7 920 setup), but have never tried a laptop.
I am willing to try if someone can help walk me through how patch AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer binary file outlined in the Intel HD Graphics 5500 thread:

I am concerned I would have trouble utilizing the alternative step 2.2 in the above guide due to Lenovo's infamous locked bios.
