Hi,

I have 10.7.5 installed on my W530. Here's what I know about its compatibility.

-ethernet, keyboard, trackpad, trackpoint, and battery meter work with the proper kexts
-audio mostly works with VodooHDA (I have to manually switch output if I plug headphones in)
-HD 4000 should work, but I haven't gotten it working yet
-Wifi and discrete graphics don't work

I hope this helps

May I ask what kexts you are using? I would like to hackintosh my W530 for iOS dev.

This thread has a lot of information about getting OS X working on the W530.
