Hello,

I would like to install Hackintosh Mojave but I am not sure about the computer to choose. Last year, I tried to install Hackintosh High Sierra with a laptop with 2 GPUs (integrated Intel HD + Nvidia GTX) but i could not disable GTX and the configuration to do for 2 GPUs is complicated.

Now, i would like to install Mojave on a new laptop (for about 200$) but I want to be sure all components are compatible.

I already selected 3 computers with minimum requirements (Intel CPU, minimum 6 GB RAM, no discrete GPU) :

Dell Latitude E6420 : https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/sho...s-dell/dell-latitude-e6420/spd/latitude-e6420

Jumper EZbook 3L : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077MDZK32/

ASUS Chromeboos C423 : https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS-Chromebook-C423/specifications/

These laptops cost about 200$ and seem to be appropriated for Hackintosh but I don't know the compatibility of each component (network cards, sound, touchpad,...).
Do you know if I can get all features with one of these models ?
Do you know a compatible laptop at about 200$ that i can use for Hackintosh Mojave ?

Thanks for your help.

None of those are likely to have supported integrated graphics.

Oh sh*t...
Thank you for your answer ! So, do you know a laptop for about 200$ I can use ?
What must I check for compatiblity of integrated graphics ? Some websites are not very clear about it ...

You might find a used Haswell (HD4600/4400) or Ivy Bridge laptop (HD4000) for that price with Core i3/i5.
 
I picked up a HP Probook 640 G1 i5 4300m with HD4600 graphics and Windows 10 Pro for $239 @ Micro---ter in the US. That equates to a $100 laptop because of the W10 pro drive. I switched the WiFi module added 4gb ram, pulled the CD drive and bought an adapter for Sata and now have a dual boot Windows 10 and Mojave Hackbook Pro. Total cost was around $310. Windows 10 Pro runs $130-$150 per license copy on average. So the Hackintosh side was under $200.

A great feature of this model is the ability to remove the battery and back/bottom cover plate without any screws. Instant access to change drives, wifi and ram.

Invest in a used HP Probook/Elitebook with Ivy Bridge/Haswell graphics.
