Mavericks should work. You may need to remove the nvidia kexts (NVDA*, Geforce*).

You might want to read here, so you know what to expect: http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/106791-laptop-compatibility.html

Also, it might be a good idea to search around for existing guides/experiences with the same/similar laptop, as you might might useful information.

Might be people on that thread who can assist you, Ive followed the guide on my friends and it works very well, It probably the most detailed guide for the n5110, also some have now modded bios to enable UEFI / Clover install.

Do I need UEFI Clover?

Actually I want Win7/MACOS multiboot setup.
Why we need UEFI at all? Any benefits?

Benefit of Clover UEFI is you can use pure-GPT drive and boot Win7 in UEFI mode...

i.e. multiboot imposible without UEFI?
Can't understand this yet....

Ok. Pure GPT is the benifit. Any drawbacks?

Multiboot without UEFI is fine.

GPT allows you to have more partitions on a HDD, quicker boot times (SSD improves boot times more than anything)

Bare in mind, UEFI mod for your laptop is possibly still experimental, its a bit of a hack, so may be unstable, it may not, but only those who have done it in that link I gave you could confirm that side of it.

Id stick with the guide in that link using chameleon personally, windows 7/8 will still work fine as a dual boot.

Once Yosemite is released, and that guides updated, they may include the UEFI / Clover install as a proper guide with more support.
