The installation process itself is a breeze, compared to other laptops: simply install OS X Mavericks normally with Unibeast, and then run the ProBook Installer (a specialized app for ProBooks that will install all of the necessary kexts and make any necessary DSDT edits to your laptop automatically).

When you install Mac OS X on a 4540s, you're walking on well-trodden ground.

As in previous generations, the VGA port, camera, and brightness levels on the ProBook are also still 'finicky'- your mileage may vary.īeyond its basic compatibility with Mac OS X, the main benefit of buying a ProBook 4540s is the sheer ease of setup. The external microphone doesn't work either, but that's a relatively minor issue. A few features still don't work in OS X Mavericks, including WiFi (unlike in previous generations, you'll have to replace the WiFi card in your ProBook) and Bluetooth (since Bluetooth depends on the WiFi card). That being said, not everything is perfect with the 4540s. If you're looking to set up your first-ever Hackintosh, and you really want it to be a laptop for some reason, then choose the 4540s. The amount of development that has gone into making Mac OS X work on this laptop is unprecedented- virtually every single feature of this laptop works in Mac OS X, including sound, graphics, power management, sleep mode, the HDMI port, HDMI audio, the battery meter, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, ethernet, and multi-touch gestures on the trackpad. Hackintosh Ability: As usual, the HP Probook takes the gold medal for Hackintosh compatibility. The battery life for the 4540s on Mac OS X is about 3-4 hours, which isn't great, but it's not a dealbreaker, either. A few models include discrete graphics cards, but you won't be able to use them- Mac OS X only works with the integrated graphics on most laptops. Overall, it's a very diverse selection no matter what you're looking for, the ProBook 4540s line will probably have the right laptop for you. There are multiple models that use different 3rd-generation Intel processors, varying from the lowest-end Core i3 to the highest-end Core i7. At 2.4 kilograms and 3.4 centimeters of thickness, the 4540s isn't the lightest or prettiest laptop in the bunch, but it's reliable enough for everyday use. What You Get: The HP ProBook 4540s is a standard sized laptop with a 15.6-inch screen at 1366x768 resolution, and a pretty great keyboard.

LATEST UPDATE (June 10, 2014): Added Dell Latitude laptops to the list. While it's still true that no normal laptop will ever run Mac OS X as well as a real Macbook, these days, some laptops can get pretty darn close.

On a positive note, the laptops on this year's list tend to work much better with Mac OS X than laptops from previous lists. Laptop Hackintoshing has gone very far since we last touched upon it- these days, advanced DSDT patching has essentially become the norm, and more laptop-specific kexts and drivers are available for users than ever before. Unfortunately, the number of laptops using Mac OS X-compatible WiFi cards in the last few years has shrank dramatically, to the point that it's no longer practical for us to maintain the 'no hardware replacements' rule.

Unlike in previous iterations of the list, all of the laptops in this year's list will require at least one hardware replacement- the WiFi card. With this in mind, we are proud to introduce our long overdue list of Hackintosh-compatible laptops for 20.Īll of the laptops on this list can run OS X Mavericks, and use 3rd-generation Intel processors ('Ivy Bridge' generation). As mentioned in our Hackintosh compatibility guide, most laptops aren't good Hackintoshes, because the compact design of laptops makes it very difficult to replace non-compatible parts. It's very difficult to find a laptop that can easily be turned into Hackintosh.
