And if you remember, we have already showed you how to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard or installing Mac OS X Lion on a custom-built computer using the tonymacx86 methods. Recently, one of the members of the tonymacx86 community, named ‘BlueKing’ discovered that the HP ProBook (especially the 4530S) is one of the most compatible laptops for. ![]() Form the specs on the picture, you CAN install Msc OS, but I would not recommend you to do that. I had hackintosh on my Thinkpad X1, and it does not work very well, here are some issues I have occurred. • Mouse track on the touch-pad feels really wired. • Mouse tracking on the screen feel a little bit lag. • Bluetooth does not work out of box, there is a way to fix, but I don't use it anyways, so I didn't fix. • Facetime does not recognize the camera. • And overall performance is not smooth. • Warmer than the running Win10. Those are not very big problems for me, since I only need to use xcode, and want to have a unix like work environment, but I ended up reinstall win10 back. I consulted one of my lawyer friend about using a hackintosh for work, what he said, It is definitely illegal, and even through you purchased a Mac OS Disc and install on a non-apple product; however, Apple is not going to sue you or ban you because you hackintosh your laptop, but if they wanted to, they can. P.S I think if your Apple fan, you should consider to purchase their product, and I ended up buying a Macbook Pro 13, it worked pretty well. Thanks for the A2A. What you are thinking of doing is typically referred to as creating a 'hackintosh.' It usually results in you having a non-Apple branded computer that will sort of run OS X and no longer run anything else (including Windows 10). If you are interested in being able to dual boot. Just get a Mac. You can boot directly into either OS X or Windows using a feature that comes on every Mac called Boot Camp. You can also opt to buy a Virtual Machine program such as Parallels or Fusion which will allow you to run Windows in its own window at the same time you are running OS X. There’s nothing more satisfying than building a hackintosh, i.e. Installing Mac OS X on a non-Apple machine. Although it isn’t as easy as it sounds, but the end result is worth the effort. Building a PC with specific components and installing Mac OS X on it can save you thousands of dollars you might spend on a real Mac. And now, it’s time to step into the portable world. Today we will show how you can turn an HP ProBook (or any compatible Sandy Bridge laptop) into a 95% MacBook Pro! Why should (or shouldn’t) you do it? Let’s clarify whether or not it should be done. Firstly, we all know Apple makes awesome laptops. The design, build quality, and the aesthetics (not to mention, the glowing Apple) would make you crave for one. Secondly, all these Apple laptops are bundled with Mac OS X, which (for some people) is the most user-friendly and annoyance-free operating system. Digital artists, musicians, video editors, they all prefer Mac for a reason. So the verdict is, if hardware design is what you really look for, you should get a real Mac, and we are not at all stopping you from doing so. But if you’re only concerned with the OS (and saving a few bucks in your pocket), you may consider giving this a shot. But remember, it may not perform as good as a real Mac does. The results vary, so hope for the best, and proceed with caution. Why HP ProBook? If you’re familiar with hackintoshing, you might know that the hackintoshing methods devised by tonymacx86 are the most ‘legal’ ones (since they do not involve piracy, while most other methods are based on piracy). And if you remember, we have already showed you how to or on a custom-built computer using the tonymacx86 methods. Recently, one of the members of the tonymacx86 community, named ‘BlueKing’ discovered that the HP ProBook (especially the 4530S) is one of the most compatible laptops for running Mac OS X Lion or Snow Leopard (not to mention it resembles a MacBook Pro as well). As you might’ve read in the, it’s all about the motherboard, and the HP ProBook seems to have a hackintoshable motherboard. Apart from that, it has to be a Sandy Bridge processor. The reason is simple, Sandy Bridge processors have built-in graphics support, which means you can get full graphics acceleration (QE/CI) in Mac OS X by slightly tricking it, and you won’t need a dedicated graphics card. So if you are an existing ProBook owner, see if your machine is compatible or not. Finally, there’s one more thing that you need to check. If you want to use Wi-Fi in OS X, your laptop should have an ‘Atheros’ Wi-Fi module. But if you’ve just purchased a ProBook and don’t have the required card (you might have a Broadcom or Ra-link instead), you can buy the Atheros card from eBay for pretty cheap. Be sure to order the right one, HP branded card, part number 593127-001 (just search on eBay for HP Atheros 593127 and you’ll get it). Then just take the old one out, and replace it with the new one. Now that you’ve got all the required items, we’re ready to go. If you have any other Sandy Bridge (core i3 or above) laptop, you can try this method anyway, just be sure to search the for your particular laptop to see if someone else has already tried hackintoshing it. You can also install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on your ProBook or any other laptop (instead of Lion) as described in the method. The following procedure is a detailed explanation of the by BlueKing (for snow leopard installation, you may also refer to ).
