Hackintosh Blade Stealth?

[rk2319]

If I bought a first generation Razer Blade Stealth (because it has a Skylake processor) would it run MacOS Sierra?

It would, but a lot of the hardware, like bluetooth and wireless probably won't work or be compatible.

Very true, I didnt think of that. Thank you!

Check the chips against forums like Tonymacx86. For all you know they could be. 

The only issue is that Apple has switched to AMD video cards so you'd have to use an older version of macOS.

You can't ask about Hackintoshing here.  Anything beyond hypothetical discussion is against the rules just FYI.

xdddd a "macbook" that's ACTUALLY good!

They did a video on it... Yes its in the Coc but seriously talk about a double standard if this gets taken down.

As long as all of the components worked in the os...

Hypocritical yes, but it is still technically illegal and against thr community standards.  I don't make the rules but the mods are likely to find this topic and lock it.

I would wait a bit for Hackintosh to catch up with Skylake processors since the new line of Macbook Pros are all Skylake if I'm correct. Drivers should be easier to install after.

I would check your hardware compatibility with things like the wifi card

I repeat my previous statement: talk about a double standard...

And it is legal if you own a Mac laptop or desktop. You legally have the OS. Its like using a Windows key from an old desktop for a different computer kinda.

It is hypothetical. I haven't done it.

Took them long enough to get to skylake... Apple skipped the 5xxx series.

Apple has their own share of hardware decision issues

I know, I own a macbook pro.  On it right now in math class.

No it's not.  It's a violation of Apple's MacOS terms of service to use the OS on anything besides Apple hardware.    Also Apple doesn't do individual license keys like Windows has.  The OS is tied to the hardware since that's the only way to download MacOS currently.

Your initial post indicated an intent to actually make a Hackintosh and not simply a "is this possible?" question.  There's no need to consider would something run MacOS unless you actually planned to do this.

Salty...

If the dude wants to do it let him, you've told him its against the code of conduct already.

to be fair, so did most people. The only good chip in there was the 5820k

 

 

I think the 5th gen i series CPUs were mostly laptop CPUs right?    So it's not surprising that most prebuilts likely never used 5th gen and most custom builders likely skipped over it to Skylake.

Sorry if you feel that way.  I'm just trying to help keep someone from getting banned or whatever they do to rule breakers here.

really? I've never seen a laptop with 5th gen processors

That's what it seems like.

See?

 

At least for i7s anyway.

eeyyyyyyyyyyy got there before you

 

In terms of number of products, sure. But 1st) this seems to leave a few out and 2nd) in terms of actual production, I doubt they sold even a third as many laptop CPUs as they did desktop

Sorry.  Your Google is faster than mine it seems.  Damn you iPad keyboard!!  ?

 

If you look here it seems that there were no desktop 5th gen i3 CPUs (1 said embedded so idk what that means.) and for i5 and i7 there's a heavy mobile lean.

 

 

I wouldn't know how much was sold but it seems clear that the 5 gen i series Intel CPUs was mainly aimed at mobile.  Not sure why though.

Locked, as mentioned it's against the community standards, and asking if it works on specific hardware (a laptop in this case) is more than hypothetical.
