Hi, i'd like to try mac on my notebook but i'm a newbie. Could i've problems with my hardware?

 

Notebook specs:

 

CPU: Intel® Core i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2501 Mhz, 2 core, 4 Threads

RAM: 2x4GB Samsung DDR3 1600Mhz

GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 4600 + Nvidia 740M (I suppose only 4600 will works)

 

WiFi: Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter

 

Network Card: RealTek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC

Audio Adapter: Intel Lynx Point PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [C2]

 

 

I saw nvidia optimus doesn't work but it's ok, internal intel gpu it's fine, i will play on windows if needed.

 

If possible, what's the easiest way to install it?

 

Thanks.

This guide is for an HP Envy 17 that is very similar to your model.  Most of it should work for you but beware, these guys get very technical if you read the whole thing.  Their results, however, are not that hard to apply.

BTW, gygabyte666 was never able to get his subwoofer working with AppleHDA.  I was able to get mine working using VoodooHDA.  He said my setup did not work on his laptop.
