Understood.

The owner took forever to get back to me. It has both, Nvidia and Intel 4000.

Surprisingly... A Dell Inspiron 5720 just popped up locally for about $400!! Intel Quad-Core i7-3632QM 2.20GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.20GHz - 8GB DDR3 - 1TB (5400RPM) DVD+/-RW - NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 1GB dedicated video - 17.3" (1600x900) HD LED Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230...

Loving this conversation. I've made note of the models and I'm happy to do the work. Things on Amazon seem slightly overpriced. I haven't bought anything from Ebay in ages, but I see people here seem to trust (some) vendors there. I am traveling and use my hackintosh to do work for clients...

Thanks, Jbamford! I'll look into those. I'm a bit slow... I also noticed the laptops people have in their signatures. I'll check those as well. If anyone also knows good places to order cheap laptops online, please pass it on. :D

Thanks, Rehabman! I just started doing that. :)

Hi, Rehabman! In the past, if I recall correctly, the hardware in certain models used to be known. For example Acer [Name of Product] (Model #: IE: A484bf333w) Some people would recommend a model because they knew the hardware in it was compatible. Is this no longer the case? This is why I...

I just realized you can't edit the subject. It should be El Capitan...

Easiest post 2013 laptop under $500 to Hackintosh w/ El Capitan - Suggestions? Hello community! I wasn't sure if I should post this here, but this seemed like the most logical place. My Acer Aspire v5-572 just died recently. A screw came lose in the case while it was on and appeared to have...

Thanks. I'll give it a go tonight! This made me drool. Do you still dual boot to windows? And, if so, how did you install Windows 8 on your new drive? I was wondering how I could go about this... and assuming I'd have to download the Windows 8 installer, etc. But... Then I...

I'd like to know more about this. My 10.8.5 machine has given me no problems... but my Mavericks machine is acting weird. - improper/unsafe usb device ejection error msg (though this did not occur) - usb device still visible, but finder crashes and copying/file transfer ceases. CRASHED. Must...

Does this mean there is no way for the laptop to connect to a router at all? No solution of any kind (at this time)? I assume this is a kext issue? This cannot be resolved with hardware (usb device)? I just want to know. I have to tell someone their laptop cannot connect to the internet...

How do you set up APIPA address on the mac? I am not familiar with this...

I'd like to thank Mslily and Rehabman for making this effortless. This is an updated guide. I have copied the authors original guide, but changed a few steps from the 10.8.5 install guide from here (by the same author)...

once again... Another success. The same model with Mavericks. What I did not do: I didn't add the brightness control. It's not critical for me at this time. INSTALL ISSUES: - The guide needs to be updated. I will post an update based on changes made here for the 10.8.5 install right...
