Laptop works under Mountain Lion 10.8.5 :
CPU: intel I5-3337U 1.8G (Turbo boost to 2.7GHz) ---Fully works including power management, speed steps, and sleep
RAM: 4GB (I have updated to 8GB) ---Fully works
HDD: 500GB ---Original GPT partition, fully works
Screen: 15.6" 1080P IPS with multitouch --- ELAN touch screen, no touch driver for ML, works at 1080p
Keyboard: backlit keyboard ---- Hardware switch so work no problem under ML (Fn + F9)
Trackpad: synaptics ---Fully works with hardware switch to turn off (Fn + F7)
Webcam: Fully works natively
Bluetooth: native support in ML
Ethernet: works with attached kext
Laptop parts not work:
WLAN: not working --- Replaced with Broadcom BCM94322HM8L, works as native airport
(Bluetooth will be removed with the old card)
Realtek card reader ---not working
(Attention: If you replace the WLAN card in this laptop, please first go into BIOS to disable "SECURE BOOT" and choose "EFI" to boot into Windows 8. This new WLAN card will be recognized automatically and ready to use. If you don't disable "SECURE BOOT", the WLAN will be recognized but will be not turn on!!! After you make sure it works in Win8, restart and you can ENABLE "Secure Boot" again. You will then be good to go in Both Mac OSX and Win8)

Here is the installation guide for Mountain Lion 10.8.5:
***Under windows 8, use disk management to shrink hard drive partition C. Save at least 20GB up to whole available spaces for Mac OS X****
You might need to run Command "CHKDSK c: /F" before you can really shrink the hard drive
After you shrink the disk in Windows 8, you will see something like this:
There are 5 partitions.
1. Healthy recovery (400mb)
2. Healthy EFI recovery (300mb)
3. Windows C partition (xxx GB --- your decision here)
4. Unused partition of (all the empty space, recommend 50-100GB. But you can make it more)
5. Another healthy recovery partition thats about 12 GB
In Windows 8, create another partition for the unused space (either FAT32 or NTFS, doesn't matter) and name it "MACOSX"
***Prepare USB installation drive as guided in tonymacx86.com***
http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
***Copy Multibeast 5.5.2, ProBook Installer 6.1.6.pkg into one folder of the USB installation drive***
***Click F2 during computer bootup to enter BIOS and change boot from EFI to legacy***
***Insert USB installation drive and start installation with kernel flag "-f dart=0"****
During installation, use DISK UTILITY to reformat "MACOSX" partition as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"
***After installation completed, reboot system with same USB installation drive but select the just installed Mountain Lion system on hard drive***
to be safer, use "-v -x" instead
***Create OS account and login, NO QE/CI at this movement***
***Now doing the most important job as below***
Copy the MultiBeast and ProBook installer pkg onto desktop from USB drive.
Run MultiBeast and select:
1) UserDSDT or DSDT-free installation
2) Patched AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement (OS X 10.8.5)
3) Chimera 2.2.1 r2248 (Important for native HD4000 support!)
4) USB 3.0 -Universal
5) FakeSMC V5.3.820
6) FakeSMC v5.3.820 Plugins
7) Power Management Hibernate Mode (Laptop)
Without restart, install from HP Probook Installer (6.1.6):
1) Kext Wizard
2) MaciASL
3) System definitions (i3/i5 ivy bridge)
4) SSDT generator
Without restart, edit /Extra/org.Chameleon.Boot.plist, add kernel flag:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>dart=0</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>RestartFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>
(Make sure GraphicsEnabler is set to Yes, if not, add it too)
Without restart, install Synaptics trackpad to /S/L/E as guided below
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller
Without restart, install the attached Mieze's RealtekRTL8111.kext for ethernet partial support
Without restart, install VoodooHDA.kext for audio support
***Now reboot the system again with the USB installation drive to fix the hard drive boot up problem***
http://www.tonymacx86.com/25-boot0-error-official-guide.html (Guide)
dd if=/Volumes/USB/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s5 (Important! select your own ML partition, most likely 5)
*** unplug USB installation drive and boot up into Mac OS X***
***prepare dsdt.aml to include Brightness control***
http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt/107723-how-create-your-own-dsdt-using-maciasl.html
# Brightness control fix

***Install RehabMan's ACPIBetteryManager kext to /S/L/E****
Full sleep supported
***If want to boot to Windows 8, change BIOS to EFI boot first, otherwise, leave to Legacy boot for Mac OS X***
***If you have exact model as I have, you can just use the attached SSDT and DSDT to save your work***
Thanks RehabMan for the remarkable correction!!!

Here is the brief upgrade guide to Maverick 10.9:
Upgrade to 10.9 is never been easier than this. Just follow the guide in Tonymacx86.com home page. After upgrade, you don't even need to install multibeast again. here is the steps:
1) Right after upgrade with the guide in home page, boot with the 10.9 installation USB but select the new installation hdd to boot (might need dart=0 flag, I forgot, but it won't hurt to add it)
2) Fix power management by install the "AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext" in attachment to /S/L/E
3) Fix trackpad/keyboard by install RehabMan's voodooPS2 controller (also attached)
4) restart the system and you are in the new 10.9 now.
