Hello, I've Sony Vaio SVE1513BYNB laptop. I know it's been out-dated. But I've upgraded it with WB SSD and now works super fine with windows 10 or any Linux for development purpose. I've attached hardware details. (If you want to take reference) One more thing to note is both SSD and HDD have MBR partitions. I'm not sure for Hackintosh. I've never done it before. So can you guide me for which latest distro of Hackintosh is compatible with my laptop?? Thanks, K

Hey everybody, I just acquired my dad's old Sony Vaio VPCCW17FX, he purchased it new in 2009. I'm about to install myhack 3.3.1 made with 10.9.1 Mavericks from the app store....but before I make the plunge and install OSX I am looking to get some feedback on this systems specs. I see that the Atheros 9285 wireless adapter is in there... that should work from what I've read. but I think most of this hardware will work but I'm still newberific so if you see any discrepancies please let me know. What I'm really trying to do is get an idea of what work exactly will be involved and any issues I may run into once installed. I can run a summary report if that helps, but it was a pretty long text file so for now see the screenshot Your thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~Matt
