I'm not really sure how good this is as a hackintosh laptop but even if you just run Win10 on it this is a spectacular deal. It's not intended to be a Windows gaming laptop but more for getting work done. Even includes the option of using a stylus pen to draw on the screen. It has the Intel UHD 620 graphics which you would be using with macOS Mojave or Catalina. The Nvidia card won't work with either of those. At less than half the cost of a new 16" MBP it looks like a deal to consider for a new laptop. Nearly $1,000 off retail price.

It even looks much like a MBP. Look at the keyboard and silver colored chassis.

It also has many ports the MBP doesn't have anymore:

1. 3:1 SD Card Reader | 2. USB 3.1 Gen 1 | 3. Noble Lock | 4. Power | 5. USB 3.1 Type-C | 6. HDMI 2.0 | 7. USB 3.1 Gen 1 | 8. Universal Audio Jack

It does have an M.2 Wifi/BT card. It is an Intel based wifi AC card. It should be replaceable with a Broadcom M.2 card.

that is a great price for 4k and 32gb ram. I have this EXACT laptop as my everyday driver for macOS, I haven't changed anything except wifi card (dw1830). The SAMSUNG SSD PM871b M.2 2280 512G works great and is very reliable. i was thinking of upgrading to nvme ssd, but I haven't had any issues with this laptop at all so I haven't changed anything.and the build quality is sleek and designed well. Id recommend this laptop as hackintosh

Have you gotten the touchscreen features to work with macOS ?

Have you gotten the touchscreen features to work with macOS ?

sorry for late reply, been doing shopping. yes I have 100 percent working system in Mojave. audio, video, GPU acceleration, touchscreen, 4k resolution. full trackpad gestures. bluetooth, iMessage, unlock with Apple Watch, App Store etc. only thing I changed was wifi card to dw1830. and as I recall, my dell 7573 came with 16gb ram installed, I added another 16gb Samsung memory stick. I think its a great buy. this laptop beats the 2017 15 inch Touch Bar with 3.1 i7 in Geekbench scores. 2017 15 inch with 3.1ghz i7 still sells for around $1,600 used

Does the HDMI out work?

Does the HDMI out work?

yes. with 4k resolution as well. depending on which smbios you use, you may have to lock the screen before hdmi would work.

The $1,099 price for a new one was really an incredible deal that is no longer available from this seller. Did anyone get one at that ultra low sale price ?

I actually bought mine used about 9 months ago for $250. guy drained battery badly and didn't want to replace it. even at the price of $1099, thats still a steal for 4k, i7 32gb ram and Nvidia gpu
