Hey zacmks,
I have the Aero 15x 4k, i7-8750H, Nvidia GTX 1070, 512GB Toshiba.
Thanks to your post, I got motivated to try Hackintosh my Aero 15x.
After working on it for two weeks on it, I am pretty happy with it.
Everything works fine: Sleep/Restart/Shutdown, WLAN, BT, Sound, Touchpad, CPU PM.
The only thing I can't get better is my battery runtime. No matter what I try, I can't get it over 4-5h.
First I tried to get everything work. Then I tried optimising my CPU PM. Seems to work pretty good. On Idle I have something around 1.3-1.7W. While browsing or writing this text in Safari I am at 2.1W Package Power.
I also replaced my m2 NVME with a 1TB Crucial SATA SSD I had laying around.
Yesterday I also tried removing all internal SSDs and installed Mojave on external 3.5" HDD with its own power source.
Didn't affect the battery runtime.
Brightness is reduced as well (60-70%). Bluetooth is turned off. Tried also shutting down all programs. Normally I only have iStat Running.
But no matter what I do, don't get over 4-5h. On Windows 10 I had battery runtimes around 8h.
How is your battery runtime and do you have some tips for me?
Attached is my EFI. Running on Mojave 10.14.5.
I am pretty happy with it. I am also in contact with Headkaze, the founder of Hackintool. He has the same laptop as me.
Best,
Chris
