[Guide] Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro High Sierra 10.13.6

[iSon1kz]

Works amazingly on my Xiaomi mi Air 13. With some tweaks i even got the battery to last 4:00 which is longer than on windows (but not as long as on Ubuntu where got 6h).

Thx for all the great work

Thanks for the response. I am using the files from the https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro repository without any modifications.

You still failed to attach PR files.

Which model? 2016 17 or 18?

One generation before the space gray one. i5 Dualcore with 150MX

Care to share the files and the tweaks? Wanna try it on the 2016 version

I am using Mac OS X Mojave , with the battery CPUHelper config from Github. Also made some changes to the Cloverconfig and installed Volta with which you set the max CPU TDP.

I also undervolted the CPU by -125 mV, Cache -50mV and the iGPU by -90mV

Update:
With Chrome open and 16 running tabs, i get around 3:50. Changed to the Performance CPU Helper.
I have to say that i am very very happy, with the performance of this hackintosh. If only bluetooth would be easier to enable

This Adapter Card is available anymore https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E-to-M-K...-2280-support-WiFi-module-52059-/152953251086 what alternative can you suggest me ?

I found this but not sure it's compatible https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M-2-NGFF...cf1bbb2:g:wjQAAOSwoVZb4KPQ:rk:3:pf:0#shpCntId

Does someone know why there is such a huge difference between max w. usage and the cpu w use?

I get, that there is stuff like the Display. keyboard, usb dongles, etc. but most of the time the total wattage is 7 w above the cpu W.

EDIT:
Trying more to improve battery, got to 5:30

Does anyone know Russian?
I've found this procedure to enable Optimus with whatevergreen.kext.

No, that won't work, it's the wrong m.2 key. I will have a search around, see what's available.

@Greenns this one might work, but I can't guarantee it. It's hard to be 100% sure. But the description sounds ok, like it should work:

And it is just impossible to pass usb bluetooth thorugh the adapter since the xiaomi pciE has no USB connection, right?
