ASUS ZenBook UX510UW-RB71 Compatibility?

[Shiggitay]

I'm trying to sell stuff off to try and get an ASUS ZenBook UX510UW-RB71, and I was wondering if anyone here has ever hackintoshed this particular laptop (or at least its series)? >>Please<< don't link me to the Clover install guide, with laptop specifics I'd need to do etc. I don't have the computer yet. I'm just wondering if this machine is hackintoshable, and since it's got dual GPUs (Intel HD and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 940m with 4 GB RAM) is it Optimus? Can the iGPU be disabled and can OS X function with ONLY the dGPU as its main source of graphical computational power?

Thanks,
Shiggitay

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

-_-;; I specifically asked that such links not be posted as I don't have the machine yet. A simple yes or no would have sufficed.

Unfortunately, such questions cannot be answered with a "simple yes or no"...

I would have also accepted it if you said that no one's attempted to hackintosh the machine I have in mind...

The FAQ covers that specific question.
You need to use search.

Hello Dear,

I have the same this Asus laptop and I couldn't install it.

Each time I try when I boat Mac os from flash it give me this massage:
"This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform. Reason: Mac xxxxxxx"

I guess it's all because of Nvidia discrete graphics card which should be disable because it doesn't support Mac OS,
But I don't know how to disable it to get it pass.

I tried many time but still no avail , although someone told me that it's possible to install it but still we're trying.
