rjjd Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi , no worries about the wireless internal card. I will disable it in the bios and use a external USB dongle with worked with all my previous other hackingtosh laptops 620. 630 and 830. My concern is the graphics card. I intent to use this laptop for video editing and if this is not possible then i have to look for another laptop which will work . My present macbook pro 2009 is getting sadly to old for editing stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zogthegreat Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi rjjd, I have the same machine that I use for my desktop. Given how bad Windows has become with spying and the fact that the Linux desktop still isn't there graphically speaking, I've been looking at switching my desktop to OSX. I found this link that has some advice and kext's for the M4800: https://github.com/phen0menal/m4800-hackintosh Keep in mind that the Precision M4800 and the Precision M6800 are essentially the same machines, so you can use how to's for the M6800 to help you along also. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291117-how-to-make-radeon-desktop-or-mobility-be-working-by-using-clover/?page=5 (EDIT) If you do get everything working, please let me know what files you used.... this will save me a HUGE amount of time later!

zogthegreat Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I found this: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/329390-amd-firepro-w5100-on-macpro-51-high-sierra/ Seems that the card will work with these mods, you will just have a blank boot screen until the system starts. I'm planning to change my FirePro W5100 with a Quadro M1200 because I need CUDA for what I'm working on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
