Thats the exact model I am using (QHD version) and what my guide is based on. There shouldn't be any specific issues, other than the required replacement of the WiFi NGFF module.

Whoa Awesome! Thanks for you quick reply! I was asking because I've seen several questions from people having problems here with 8th gen i7 and replies to them questioning whether or not the processor was the problem. I know about the wifi card and have read through tutorial with the best of my newb ability. I'm excited to get started. Thank you!

Hey why I have your attention, is there any reason why I couldnt make this a dual boot windows/mac os machine as well.
 
Hello dudes. I have watched for long time but can not find any example of hackintosh with xps 9370/9570. So sorry I have to ask my questions here:

1. Is the 8 gen cpu compatible with hackintosh as well as 6/7 gen?
2. I found out that 9370 can not replace the wifi card, what about the new 9360 with 8 gen cpu?
3. Does the tutorial in this thread work with new 9360 (8 gen)?

Clover EFI will pick up Windows automatically. I have an external USB 3.1 SSD with Windows To Go on it.
Very handy to quickly boot up Windows when I want to.

  1. Yes, KabyLake i7-8550U works fine
  2. i7-8550U Dell XPS 9360 has a replaceable WiFi card.
  3. Yes, as mentioned before its the machine I build my github repo on

Yep. There was a project which started a few years ago, sadly never progressed beyond proof of concept.

However this materialised very recently:

and the repo:

That is awesome dude. For the 9370, I believe it will need a port of the following for the consumer model (Killer 1435) while the enterprise model can use the Intel driver (hopefully).

From what I read online the Killer 1435 WiFi card is so bad that people literally want to throw their Dell XPS 9370 out of the window. So not sure if its actually worth developing a driver for...
