EFI folder and guide to install macOS Monterey on the Thinkpad L440 (should work with the T440p too).

Primary LanguageASL

Hackintosh on the Thinkpad L440 and T440p

NOTE: Hackintosh-ing is a process that's against the Apple® macOS™ End-User License Agreement (EULA). I am not responsable for any legal problems you may or may not be involved in for installing macOS™ on non-Apple hardware, as I'm not providing the media for installing macOS™, but rather, open-source software that can be used for the purpose of Hackintoshing, which is not against to the EULA for it's own.

What works (as of now, march 19, 2022):

  • Bluetooth (1)
  • Wi-Fi (2)
  • Graphics acceleration
  • Trackpad and gestures
  • SD card reader
  • Battery management
  • Continuity (3)
  • Microphone and speaker

Notes:

  1. Bluetooth on this installation does not have the common issue across other EFIs, which is weak signal.
  2. Wi-Fi works out-of-the-box with the AirPort™ utility and native Wi-Fi menu.
  3. Not all Continuity features work. AirDrop™ is known to not work with Intel® Wi-Fi cards, Handoff™ does work as of now, Universal Clipboard hasn't been tested but it's very likely to work.

What DOES NOT work:

  • TouchID™ (fingerprint scanner) (1)
  • AirDrop™ (2)
  • TrackPoint (3)

Notes:

  1. TouchID will NEVER work, because non-Apple computers does not have the Apple® T2 chip, responsable for security in the Mac™ devices.
  2. AirDrop will NEVER work with the integrated Intel® Wi-Fi card you can buy a Broadcom® Wi-Fi card (here: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32464748097.html), with that, all the Continuity features will work.
  3. This is a known issue that will be fixed soon.
