Compulab Airtop 3 hackintosh

Anyone had luck turning this into a Hackintosh? I did the research and posted the specs on reddit - it seems like it could be done if you disable the GTX 1660 and buy a compatible wifi/BT card off eBay pulled from another Mac model (the one Compulab provides is Intel which may or may not work from my reading).

Seems very interesting. I don't see why it shouldn't work if the dGPU is disabled. The Wi-Fi + BT part would also only be necessary if you needed functional Wi-Fi or BT. If you don't need either of those then you could just ignore it.

@BondiBlueMeant to reply many, many months ago 🙂 . I was able to get it working as a hackintosh after a couple weeks of tinkering. The only problem is that I could only get 4 of the 9 USB ports working, which is no biggie.

 

I have the OpenCore 0.8.4 files (EFI files) if anyone needs them.
