    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

    Easiest post 2013 laptop under $500 to Hackintosh w/ Yosemite - Suggestions?

    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...

    Installation guide for Acer V5-572p-6858

    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...
