Fujitsu Ah532 Lifebook - can it be a good cheap hackintosh notebook?

[diper07]

Lemme first tell you that I am newbie in Hackintosh stuff.

It's the cheapest i3 -3rd generation laptop available in india. it costs only 437$ or 26900 INR. Here are the specs of this notebook. I have never used this laptop I am planning to buy it. I have googled about it a lot but couldnt find the indepth configuration of it.
What I have so far discovered about this laptop is.


Processor :

Processor Name - Core i3 (3rd Generation)Variant - 3110M
Chipset - Intel HM76
Brand - Intel
Clock Speed - 2.4 GHz
Cache Memory - 3MB

Audio codec :

Realtek ALC269 VC2 HD

Graphic Processor :

Integrated Mobile Intel HD 4000 Graphics

RAM :

4GBDDR3, 1600 MHz, PC3-12800

WLan :

Intel® Centrino® Wireless N2230 (IEEE 802.11b/g/n)


Lan :

10/100/1000 MBit/s Realtek RTL 8111F


Touchpad :

Alps

USB 3.0 ports :

Alps

Webcam :

Sonix

Media Slot (SD card slot) :

Realtek


So what do you say?
Can it run Mountain lion?

Will touchpad, webcam, usb 3 ports, media slot work? I know Wlan wont work.

I have read on some forums that Fujitsu notebooks keyboard and touchpad doesn't work on Mac os x. is it true?

does Mac Os x installing also requires certain feature in BIOS? can the bios of this laptop support installing Mac os x?


Thanks!

Basically, it is a Sandy Bridge laptop with 6-series chipset. It should work.

Notes:
- WiFi will not work
- Realtek ethernet should work
- usb3 may work with GenericUSBXHCI
- SL/Lion/ML/Mavericks are all possible
- ALPS touchpad may be supported by bpedman branch of my ps2 drivers
- ALC269 is very common, you should be able to find a patched AppleHDA

But you will never know until you try...
