Hi to all,
I'm Razorbacktrack and I'm from Italy.

Yesterday I bought an asus laptop with these characteristics :

Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ
Display 15,6'' / Full HD
HDD 750GB / 8192MB DDR3
GeForce GT 750M 4GB DDR3
Can I install mavericks on it? if yes,what tutorial I must follow?
I must install mavericks before w8 to have the dual boot option?
Thanks :)

You will want to read this: http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/106791-laptop-compatibility.html

Dual boot guide is here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html
 
I can be wrong, But I don t understand if My laptop is compatible or Not :(
 
I read the thread and I know what are the characteristics of my pc (now I also checked the chipset,that is an HM86 Express Chipset),but I don't know what tutorial I need to follow

And hopefully you understand the part about "switched" graphics not being supported (assuming yours is switched/Optimus).

Since yours is Haswell, you will likely run into the instant reboot problem due to locked MSRs and CPU power management being built into the Mavs kernel. So definitely follow the link at the bottom of the post, as I've built my own kernel to avoid it (just built from Apple's sources).

Did you set your ig-platform-id correctly to enable HD4600?

Also:
Please provide complete details in your profile.

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + screen resolution
 
I've completed my profile :) it's enough?

I've tested my laptop with cpuz, here some more info:
Mainboard Model N550JV (0x00000188 - 0x00525EC0)
Display adapter 0
Display name \\.\DISPLAY1
Name Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

Can you please help me on how to set ig-platform-id correctly to enable HD4600?
