Update 6/6/17: this machine is on 10.12.5 now, which required the addition of Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup.
Due to the problems with Skylake and Kaby Lake integrated graphics, it's still the best current hardware, I think. That's all about to change, soon!

Hey everyone, got a new laptop, a Lenovo S41-70. Should be very similar to other models, like Lenovo U41, or S41-75. And here's some hardware info:
Broadwell / HM97
HD 5500 w/ 14" panel @ 1920x1080
One 2.5" SATA drive (max 7mm height)
One M.2 slot for Wifi/BT
single SODIMM
The good news, so far, is that there is a way to get past the default DVMT-prealloc of 32 MB. I just followed this guide and then I could access BIOS advanced menus. I changed my DVMT-prealloc to 64MB in the "Advanced" page under System Agent -> Graphics. This got me a working installation of 10.10.5 (also had to enable Legacy support to fix screen garbling).
Now as for 10.11, I'm getting a kernel panic immediately, before any other kernel messages are displayed:
Even with the very latest Clover, which has updates to OsxAptioFixDrv for 10.11, as of r3263 (currently unreleased).
I followed this 10.11 beta Clover guide, using 2b., "manual way," config.plist for HD 5300/5500/6000 from RehabMan git, and for kexts only the FakeSMC dated 5/14/2015 from RehabMan plus VoodooPS2Controller (in Other folder).
Thanks for any thoughts.
edit: everything has been resolved now.
Screen garbling can also be fixed by setting Clover resolution to 1024x768.
To run 10.11 your config.plist needs memory info in the SMBIOS (due to the RAM connected to channel B), see page 2.
Complete list of additional (or modified, in the case of AppleHDA) kexts on El Capitan:
For 10.11.1, audio is v. 272.50.31 and is patched as per post #18.
