Hi,
first of all, I would like to thank all of you, who made my hackintosh possible!
I recently purchased this model here for 540 Euro (German website):
http://www.cyberport.de/hp-probook-...d-matt-ohne-betriebssystem-1C23-9ZR_1695.html
I replaced the Wifi card with a Broadcom BCM94352HMB and added a 256GB m.2 SSD. Yes, this notebook has an additional m.2 port (22x40)!
After following the instructions on the top of this forum I can report that Yosemite is working almost flawlessly. I used the recently added 4x0 G2 option in the installer and applied the 'IOBluetoothFamily - Continuity & Handoff' patch to make handoff work. The camera works out of the box, as well as speakers and mic. There is no whitelist in the bios and only one screwdriver is required to service the HDD, RAM, WIFI and m.2!
Remaining issues:
Things not yet tested:
For less than 700 Euro you get a very fine and fast hackintosh!

Remaining issues:
- switching between internal speakers and headset does not work while the laptop is on, if you plug the headset in before start or wake up, it will be detected
- some graphics glitches during startup (login window) and at the menu line (just the font sometimes looks weird)
- the fan is running almost constantly at >3000rpm with CPU temperature sensors in the 40s, probably because the temperature thresholds are set too low, I would love to be able to adjust that (btw, under Ubuntu 14.04. on the same machine I experienced the same behaviour)
Things not yet tested:
- HDMI out (both video and audio)
