As a temporary measure, until I get a compatible laptop, could I run OSX in vmware or virtualbox or would I have the same graphics problems?

I dont Know if this is your area of expertise, but is it possible to replace the intel GPU with a compatible one?

Well that's a bummer.

Starting with iBoot Haswell and Snow Leopard I have made a bootable usb with unibeast and Yosemite from the app store but install keeps freezing on apple screen. In verbose mode it hangs at :- Failed to load kext com.apple.driver. AppleACPIEC Couldn't alloc class "AppleACPIEC". I,ve tried...

I thought it might make my OS a bit more reliable. It freezes on startup sometimes and the fan doesn't always switch on when the laptop gets hot.
