The following laptops use the same motherboard, and others may also be compatible. Check if your motherboard reads as 1977 in CPU-z or in your ACPI tables
HP Pavilion Models:

Your laptop should have a Intel 4xxx series processor. If it does not, some things may not work in this guide but you can try it anyways. 3xxx processors need some modifications.
All of these laptops will support all haswell i3 and i5 processors that are 37 watts, the best compatible processor is the i5-4340M
This screen (AUO B173HW01 V5) is amazing, it displays the entire sRGB color space at 1920x1080 (1080p). It is also anti-glare, and looks better than the old 17" MacBook Pro (2010) that I used to have. If you buy on ebay, make sure it's the exact model not a replacement/compatible/evasive wording. In fact, just ask if the exact model is an AUO B173HW01 V5
My zip folder includes drivers for the Dell 1550 and possibly other wifi cards. It also includes drivers for many bluetooth devices. Keep this in mind. You can buy a Dell 1550 wifi card and wifi/bluetooth will magically work after you follow this guide.
If you have a different processor than an i3-4000M, generate your own SSDT and replace ssdt-gen.aml with the one you generated
This file is located in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ and you will need to delete this file if you have a different processor and create a new one once you finish step 4.
How to generate your own SSDT for power management:

Dual boot is possible, just request help and I'll add it to the guide.
Step 1:
Download the attached zip file
Step 2:
Prepare a USB as usual using clover:

Step 3:
Mount the EFI, you can use this if you want:

Delete the EFI folder
Copy the EFI folder from the zip you downloaded
Step 4:
Install OSX and when everything is done, eject and remove your USB
Install clover with default settings to your system drive
Mount your EFI on the system drive (Make sure its not the flash drive EFI, thats why you unplug it)
Delete the EFI folder and copy mine over
Install kexts (from the SLE folder in my zip file) into /System/Library/Extensions with "Kext Wizard"
Many thanks to RehabMan for making this possible! Many of his kexts are used, and he helped me to get everything working!
