Suggestions for cheap (mostly) compatible laptop

[softFluffyKittens]

I'm looking forward to buying a new laptop since I travel a decent amount, and I don't want to buy a really costly laptop either. I don't intend on spending more than US $450 - $500 on it. I just need the laptop's graphics to work decently as the build I'm currently using cannot support QE/CI (Intel HD 2000), but I don't need it to run GTA 5 at 60fps at max or anything. Just smooth performance with normal UI elements instead of screen artifacts and tearing. I also do not need Wi-Fi to work as most of my networking is done through USB dongles (4G provides pretty good speeds) and I don't need Bluetooth since I don't use it much.

Also, RAM is not an issue since I plan on upgrading it to 8 or 16 gigs after purchasing although better memory models are obviously appreciated.

I did some searching and came up with some candidates that I need help deciding if I can use them as a Hackintosh.
1. HP 15-ac119TU: i3-5005u, Intel HD 5500, 4GB RAM
2. Asus A555LA-XX2068D: i3-5010u, Intel HD 5500, 4 GB RAM
3. HP 250 G3: i3-4005U, Intel HD 4000, 4 GB RAM
4. Dell Inspiron 15 3558: Intel Core i3 5200U, Intel HD 5500, 4GB RAM
5. Dell Vostro 3456: i3-4005U, Intel HD 4400, 4GB RAM

All these laptops seem really nice for a reasonable price, but I don't know if they'll be able to boot OS X or macOS. If one could clarify these doubts or suggest some laptops within the $500 range, I'll really appreciate it.

The HP250 has a reasonably well tested guide...
