Cerberus73 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Right guys I'm off to NY in the next couple of weeks right around black friday. i live in the uk, so am going to take advantage of the cheaper hardware when I'm over. and buy a new laptop or 2 in 1, to replace my now elderly acer 5742. I need the following specs, 6th or 5th gen i5/core M 8gb ram, and full HD screen at a minimum (photoshop and illustrator are my living) a working trackpad (I see a lot of laptops have issues here) and swappable or compatible wi-fi.. i don't mind switching a card out or inserting a new one into a m.2 slot, but don't want a external inelegant dongle solution. and something that isn't a house brick. so slimmer the better. the budget isn't huge.. hence looking in sales for a last gen model. something between $400 to $800 max. I am comfortable with fiddling with bios settings, editing kext's, running scripts etc, but the results have to be stable, and the machine useable day to day.It will be a second machine as I have a very stable skylake desktop I built around 10 months ago. I have done a lot of reading on various hackintoshing sites, but a lot of the info is for older laptops that are not currently available new, or they seem to have major issues with soldered in wi-fi, and wonky trackpads. and as my time is running short, I figured it be easier to just ask what currently works and can be purchased. so if you can provide a make and model number and any changes that need to be done to get sierra installed. and if you have a link to a big retailer.. even better. I hope someone can help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/317946-currently-available-laptops-most-comparable-with-sierra/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus73 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Great list they have there but only go as far as 5th gen so a lot of them are not currently available.. thats the problem.. i need a current model I can purchase new. not much point buying a 3yr old model. its basically obsolete before you start.
