Acer Aspire E5-573-5653 Compatibility?

[xXDUNNKILLED1Xx]

My sister just bought this laptop for college, and i got to looking at the specs and i thought, wouldn't this be a perfect candidate for a hackintosh? (besides the wifi card)

CPU:Intel core i5-5257U 2.7 GHz (Broadwell)
Graphics: Intel integrated iris graphics 6100
1TB HDD 5400RPM
8 GB DDR3L RAM

I can't tell what the wifi card is but I'm sure it isn't mac compatible since almost 0% of stock laptops have a mac compatible card, but everything else makes it look like a great hackintosh and its only $450 right now on new egg which i don't think is bad for what it has in it, especially since iris 6100 graphics are pretty rare in windows computers....

but anyway let me know what y'all think, because i don't want to buy this laptop if it's not going to work with mac. Thanks in advanced!

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

Pay attention the Broadwell info in the FAQ. It is important.

Hi, does she still have the computer? Mine died, exactly at the two-year mark, which is typical of acer, and I never made a recovery disk. Do she happen to have one for this computer? All my patient files are trapped within and I can’t access anything without the recovery disk!

So what I’m asking is....HEELLPPP!!
Thanks
