This laptop is quite
hackintosheable. I purchased it without an OS, and it's pretty affordable. A great MBP alternative!
Specs:
- Intel Core i5 10210U (HD630) - Comet Lake
- 8 GB LPDDR3
- Intel (Optane?) 512 GB SSD NVMe
- 14" FHD
- Ports: HDMI 1.4b, USB-C, USB 3, USB 2, SD, jack.
- Backlight keyboard
- Intel WiFi AX200 9462 2nd
What works: I think it's quicker to say what doesn't and what's untested. Yes WiFi works thanks to the itlwm project.
What doesn't work:
- Speakers, although HDMI and jack earphones/headphones work.
- Battery status. This is the major problem out there.
Untested/Unsure: SD (maybe won't work as usual), USB-C (at least it gives power).
Battery issue:
I tried my best to make a DSDT patch, a SSDT patch, etc... no luck so far. But now I know something:
Seriously, I got not only BAT0 but BAT1 and BAT2.
In fact, I tried to fuse them in a BATC following VirtualSMC's instructions
(Docs) for dual battery. Still have problems.
And I get this on startup:
2020-08-05 08:13:02.909437+0200 localhost kernel[0]: (Lilu) SMCBatteryManager bmgr: @ failed to find batteries or adapters!
2020-08-05 08:13:02.909446+0200 localhost kernel[0]: (Lilu) SMCBatteryManager smcbus: @ BatteryManager probe failure
It's pretty obvious the main problem is that the battery is not detected.
Any clue on this?
