Can the Acer Aspire E5-575G-53VG work?

[peter111313]

I am currently a film student in college and I use Final Cut Pro X. I already have this laptop and a mac mini, but it would be nice to be able to have a portable mac for obvious reasons. I know that this laptop has an Nvidia graphics card in it, but it also has integrated graphics. Is it possible to make this into a hackintosh? If so can I use the extra hard drive slot in this laptop to store mac os. Here is the link to the laptop with the specs on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DT4A2R4/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 . I'll also post the specs here:

• 6th Generation Intel Core i5-6200U Processor (Up to 2.8GHz)
• 15.6-inch Full HD Display, NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
• 8GB DDR4 Memory, 256GB SSD

Thanks.

Impossible to predict the future.
But the FAQ/guide is where you should start.

Thank you,

1. What does not work ?

2. Did you replace the wifi card with a Broadcom OS X friendly one ?

3. Do you use Intel graphics or dedicated for nvidia GeForce 940MX card?

Hello @MikeHoward and @peter111313. Any of you could install MacOs on the Acer E5-575G-53VG without problems? Any advice in particular?
