i did purchase a Lenovo V330-15ikb a few days ago, i do plan to buy a NVME SSD for it as it came with 1TB HDD which i did replace with a Kingston v300 120GB SSD 2.5" that i had on my old Lenovo B570e.
I was wondering how is the current state of 8th gen CPUs and iGPUs
Here are the full list of specs:
8GB DDR4 Dual Channel ram memory
Intel 8th gen Core i5 8250U CPU
Intel UHD 620 Graphics & AMD Radeon 530
15.6" Full HD Display
It does have a ELAN Touchpad
a FingerPrint Reader
2xUSB3 Ports & 2 Thunderbolt Ports
VGA, HDMI, SD Card Reader & Optical Drive
Conexant CX20751/2 Audio Codec (Dolby Audio).
Intel Wireless Card which i will replace it with my DW1560 (didn't test yet if this laptop model does have whitelist)
My concerns/questions are:
I expect a lot of work required since it's manufacturing date is Dec 2017 and as far as i have checked i didn't see a Battery status patch on your laptop DSDT Patch repo.
So what i have to do from scratch is:
What is a unknown field for me are the listed above since i had no experience till now with them.
I might just install clover bootloader on a usb drive to just dump ACPI Tables and check them on my Lenovo B570e to have a look at what do i expect in terms of ACPI Patching and fix what i can without testing and leave the rest after installation.

My concerns/questions are:
- What is the current state of ELAN Touchpads support for macOS ?
- What about the thunderbolt Ports ?
- AMD Radeon 530 - switchable graphics, should propably be disabled with ACPI if im correct, just curious to ask if any of the latest macbooks have such identical card and if switchable graphics do work or not.
- Any known compatibility issues with Intel UHD 620 ?
- or with 8th gen CPUs (KabyLake R).
- Since NVME drives are more problematic, i decided to wait till i receive my NVME SSD so i can install windows on it and then install macOS on the 2.5" SSD, but just in case, is there any known NVME drive that is supported on macOS without the need for your kext ?

So what i have to do from scratch is:
- Patch Battery Status
- Patch Audio Codec
- USB Port Injector
- Disable Radeon GPU if it isn't suppported.
- Also propably some work with Keyboard Mapping.
