This post gets edited and updated as necessary, so info doesn't get lost in a long thread if it becomes one. This is my daily driver laptop, upgraded from an existing Ventura 13.6 install.
-----
Two major quirks are audio (HDMI audio output and auto-switching between speaker/headphones) and HDMI video output. Daily driver config is docked to the Ultraslim 2013 docking station with FHD DP output and occasionally with the Thunderbolt G4 hub.
HP Elitebook 840 G6 as a MacbookPro16,3
Opencore 0.9.8
Latest BIOS
16GB RAM
1TB NVMe HD
Intel AX200 WiFi/BT module
HP Ultraslim 2013 Docking Station (use Windows to update FW to v.2.33.004)
HP Thunderbolt Hub G4 HSN-IX01 (use Windows to update to latest firmware as of Sept 2023)
What works:
* Sleep and wake*
* FHD internal LCD display on Intel UHD 620
* Bluetooth
* WiFi (use itlwm with Heliport)
* On-board audio (cannot hotswap headphones and speakers but selectable in System Preferences)
* On-board 1G Ethernet
* On-board USB 2.0 and 3.0
* On-board USB Type-C Thunderbolt (Hackintool reports 10Gbps)
* On-board webcam (identifies as HP HD Camera)
* Thunderbolt hub DisplayPort (1080@60, I don't have anything 4k), USB 2.0, 3.0 and Type-C, Gig-E (unsure about TB display output).
* Thunderbolt hub top power button (hold down 2 sec, will ask if you want to sleep, restart or shutdown)
* Trackpad with buttons
* Trackpoint pointer mouse
* Ultraslim dock hot plugging
* Ultraslim dock Ethernet
* Ultraslim dock USB 2.0 and 3.0
Quirky:
* Sometimes (1 in 10+?) times seems to freeze while sleeping and won't wake. Needs full power off/on to reset.
What doesn't:
* laptop HDMI output
* built-in mic (USB audio interfaces work fine: tested Shure X2u, MOTU M4)
* Ultraslim dock audio (in and out) (not working as of OC 0.9.0, not sure why)
* Thunderbolt hub DisplayPort audio (my Dell screen complains about not being PCM audio.)
* Airdrop
To do:
* Narrow down RTC write issues. (currently at excluding 35-38)

Windows 11 Boot Camp partition runs under VMWare Fusion albeit quite slow for some reason, and you won't be able to login using a PIN, so boot into Windows natively and disable the PIN login and rely on a /gasp/ password or something.
