1. Toshiba C55-A5302
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/toshiba...689021, 1689182_&cp=1&lp=2#tab=specifications
It has 6 GB Ram, Intel Pentium at 2.4Ghz, 500GB HDD and Intel HD Graphics (1st Gen).

2. HP 17-e016dx

4GB Ram, 750GB HDD, amd a8 with AMD Radeon HD 8550G

So basically im wondering which on of those would i have better success making into a hackintosh and im thinking the toshiba one will because of the intel specs also they both have a RJ-45 wireless card and that is the card also in the macbook pro. Any help is appreciated and welcomed thanks!

Neither is a good candidate. #1 is Intel Pentium, but the site does not say which Pentium. I think if it was Ivy Bridge Pentium, there would be some hope (as it would be HD2500 graphics), but even that is questionable. And any other Pentium is no-go.

#2 is AMD and AMD is not supported.

Look for a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge with HD3000/HD4000 instead.
