Lenovo-ThinkPad-L13-Yoga-Hackintosh VS OpenCore-Install-Guide

For anyone looking at this, there is one out there by u/Seven-of-eleven, github link here.

I have the a similar Thinkpad (L13 Yoga) with the same audio. I can confirm that I have everything working. Feel free to compare with my efi or share yours and I'll take a look. Best of luck.

So my laptop is a ThinkPad L13 (non-Yoga model) and I am very grateful to u/Seven_of_eleven for providing the EFI as well as instructions on his [GitHub page](https://github.com/seven-of-eleven/Lenovo-ThinkPad-L13-Yoga-Hackintosh). Even though his is a Yoga model, everything basically works for the normal L13. That being said, apart from the OpenCore instructions, I have to point out that since my laptop does not have an ethernet port and I didn't have an USB to ethernet dongle lying around I was forced to find an alternative method to the normal OpenCore process of creating the USB installation media. After a few minutes of searching on YouTube, I was able to find this channel-[Tech With Arya](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCWkNCoK7DY)-who had a tutorial on creating a USB installation media that does not require an internet connection during the installation process. I simply inserted the EFI folder provided by u/Seven_of_eleven during the creation process. The next step was spoofing the SMBIOS and manually mounting the EFI partition. For this, I simply followed the very helpful instructions of [Jessies's Flying channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4h06mj4IT4). And like I've said before, almost everything works, except for AirDrop and the TrackPoint scrolling-which sort of works-the problem is after pressing the middle button in order to scroll a page, you have to tilt the TrackPoint to the left to go down, and right to go up. Not a huge issue but something I will have to look into when I have the time. Big thanks to all those mentioned above for their awesome work. **Hardware:** Laptop: ThinkPad L13 (2020) OS: macOS 11.5.1 SMBIOS: MacBookPro16,3 CPU: Intel Core i5-10210U @ 2.11 GHz GPU: Intel UHD 620 RAM: 16 GB SSD: WD Blue 550 1 TB NVME Wifi & Bluetooth: Intel Wireless AC 9560 **What's working:** Basically everything, except: **What's not working:** AirDrop is not working, although I believe there's a kext to fix it. Also, the TrackPoint issue I mentioned above. Weekend's over so I simply don't have the time to look into them right now. **Battery life:** I was initially hesitant to install macOS because of the worse battery life that mackintoshes usually entail. However, I do get around 5-6 hours which I think is okay given my use-case. Again, I still have to tinker around and also check background running apps. At the moment, this is a WFH setup so it's usually always plugged in.

I've just seen that a project that you have mentioned has been updated, and seems that the HDMI has been corrected!!! Check this out: Issues during installation · Issue #8 · seven-of-eleven/Lenovo-ThinkPad-L13-Yoga-Hackintosh (github.com) Maybe it works for us as weel, since it's the same processor and graphics

Not sure if it'll help but here's my repo. Best of luck.

Check dortania’s open core guide

To keep costs down, Keep an eye on local market place and classified sites for a cheapish gaming PC with an AMD card in it (RX’s 5700 / 5700xt / 5600xt / 6600xt / 6600). Look up the parts here on Reddit and https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ to see if people have problems or methods needed to make them work.

Idk much about amd gpu support but u can check it on Dortania’s open core guide which I highly recommend you to follow

Btw u can follow this https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

I have similar setup (i7 8700K, 5700XT, Asus Prime Z370-a), everything works, no issues (wifi with OCLP patches). All you need is here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
