JahStories Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The problem on laptop for usage as an hackintosh is to find a model which have a working dedicated GPU... Most modern laptops uses optimus and that's not supported... Btw if you are not into gaming you can take a look at the xiaomi mi notebook air! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Many news model with Skylake/Kabylake and pascal GPU work with NVIDIA Check http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322814-brightness-control-and-sleep-not-working-on-pascal-gpu-nvidia-web-driver/ "Asus ROG GL502VS, i7-6700hq, no Integrated Graphics (Actually HD 530 if Optimus active), GTX 1070" the new era is comming? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmusico Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 So, the main problem should be the gpu, but is possible to disable the dedicated gpu and use intel hd? the main objetive will be for music production (Use with logic Pro X) and maybe some home video edition with final cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 it's amazing!

JahStories Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I bought it on gearbest, quick shipping and no import dutys.... The Rog is a beast, but it's really really expansive... Nice to know btw! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It's true, the price is very high. Need wait, many processors without Integrated Graphics is out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
