I didn't see anyone using this laptop, similar models but not this particular one so I decided I'd make a thread about it. Long story short, I had a Samsung RV520 that I caught hell with until the hard drive finally died. I replaced it with a spare I had laying around, loaded Windows 7 back onto it, and then sold it. I now have the Toshiba Satellite L755 model which has booted Lion on the first try with no errors. As I've only had this laptop for less than 2 hours I haven't toyed around with it much (let it charge lol). As I get things working I will update this thread for anyone who is in the market for a reasonably cheap laptop to hackintosh and if I get around to it I'll look into making a DSDT to upload if anyone is interested.
*Off topic* Also, for anyone interested, I loaded Lion onto my dad's Dell Studio 1735. The only thing that doesn't work as of this moment is his HDMI, graphics, and on board sound. It does freeze after using safari for about 30 minutes to an hour, so I'm working on how to fix that and the other issues mentioned. If I get everything working I'll make a separate thread for that stating how to get everything working.

Will update periodically

Working:
Audio
Graphics/Display
Webcam
Multitouch (2 finger only, as far as I know)
Battery
Usb ports including 3.0
Not working:
Networking (I'm buying a usb adapter for this until I swap the internal card)
Sleep (works half way. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)
