Looking for Used Laptop Suggestions
Hi friends,
I am new to this community so please forgive me if this is an oft repeated question or this has already been answered.
I am planning to buy a used laptop for hackintosh conversion. Hence I am here requesting for your advise and suggestion on how to go about choosing the ideal candidate for the conversion.
Thanks in advance. If this has already been answered or documented, pls point me to the correct post.

What should I check before attempt to use iServices?
Just got my Ventura hackintosh booted and installed. So far everything works, except for waking from sleep. I followed the dortania guide, but it’s a bit hard to follow since I’ve never done this before. What should I check before logging into my Apple ID and attempting to use iServices?

Renesas USB3 on 11.x+
Sooooo I just realized that my USB3.0 ports are not being detected on this P67 sandybridge running on Big Sur (I haven't used them in years, it's been since like Mojave I think).
I was trying to get them to work so that I could install Monterey faster via USB3.0 but now I'm seeing that XHCI drivers for Renesas chipsets do not exist as far as I can tell.
Is there a workaround for Renesas chipsets, or is an Intel based PCIE expansion card the only way to continue with USB3.x on this dinosaur board?
(Yes, all my ports are mapped correctly. I've done this several times on another hackintosh system I have here).

Can anybody help read the Kernel crash log for me?
I've been hackintoshing for years. I've built at least three hacks from scratch. But my current dual-boot hackintosh is crashing often and at seemingly random times, and I'm at a loss to diagnose the problem. The crashes are sudden, and usually it's an instant reboot, kind of like it's a PSU problem. (Although I *never* get this kind of crash on the same computer running Windows.) Sometimes, though, it's a slow crash where I just can't quit any programs, and force quit doesn't help. The only way I can restart in this instance is to go to the terminal and type:
sudo shutdown -r now
Some basic details:
* Mobo: MSI z390 gaming pro carbon AC
* CPU: i9 9900k
* GPU: Radeon RX 6800xt
* RAM: 32gb
* MacOS NVME drive: WD SN850X 2TB
* Currently running Sonoma 14.0, but this problem happened with Ventura, too.
Here's the list of things I've tried to fix:
* Used to run on a MacPro7,1 SMBIOS. I thought maybe switching to an iMac19,1 SMBIOS might be a little better, since my 9900k is a Coffee Lake CPU, which matches with the iMac19,1. Didn't help, though. (But it does seem to be better utilizing my CPU and GPU in Final Cut Pro --- which might just be my imagination.)
* Used to run a Samsung 980 Pro NVME drive, which had all sorts of problems. Swapping to the Western Digital drive solved my long-boot issues, but not the crashes.
* I have a dual-monitor setup... one is a big ol' ASUS ProArt ultrawide. The other is a super-cheap little HDMI screen I use for just progress bars, and diagnostic windows. That screen is powered by USB and, I found that it would cause crashes when I powered it by the computer's USB ports, so I've plugged it into a separate wall charger and that seemed to help. I think it just didn't play nice with other stuff.
* My best guess at the crashes is still the little HDMI mini-monitor. I used to have it plugged into the GPU alongside the main display. But since I suspected it might be causing crashes there, I moved it to the Motherboard HDMI port. This way, I figured, I'd only be using it in Windows since I have the iGPU turned off in MacOS. But it *seems* like I don't get any crashes if I just unplug the HDMI cable from the mini display in MacOS. Can anybody look at the Kernel Log below and confirm somehow if it's a problem caused by the mini display?
So, here's the complete Kernel Panic log from my most recent crash tonight. None of this means anything to me. Can anybody read it and get some useful info?

Two EFI folders on one USB installer for macOS
I have two hackintosh systems, both running Big Sur. I am going to be updating to Monterey, but I'd like to still have a Big Sur USB installer just incase.
I only have two 32GB USB flash drives and I think it's wasteful to have a total of 4x USB drives to have each version for each system and my other USB drives are being occupied with other important stuff as well.
my EFI folder on both my hackies are around 50MB, and the EFI partition is 200mb.
Can I just rename the EFI folders to something like "EFI_DESKTOP" and "EFI_LAPTOP" and rename the one I wish to use as "EFI" in order to make that the dominant bootable EFI?
Or would it be more advisable to put all the kexts/etc in same EFI folder and have a config.desktop and config.laptop that I rename to config.plist when I want to enable that setup?
Personally, I think the EFI_DESKTOP / EFI_LAPTOP folder method would be my preferred choice. I already leave textfile notes in my EFI folders and partition roots, so it's not like it would be easy to mix or mess up.
Does anyone see a problem with this?

I got stuck on either a Lilu or Whatevergreen error. Cannot figure it out yet. (First two boots).
##
Error with Lilu where it stops
Getting stuck at a Whatevergreen error \(2nd boot attempt\)
The ACPI error I'll mention later. Probably not important. It tends to loop about 3 times before getting to the two previous images.
## Hardware Info:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 520
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz
Motherboard/Laptop model: Lenovo ThinkPad E460
Audio Codec: Conexant CX20753/4 @ Intel Sunrise Point-LP PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [C1\]
Ethernet Card: Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V
WiFi/BT Card: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 AC HMC WiFi Adapter
## Aditional Info:
Chipset: Intel Core 6th Gen
Native Screen Res: 1366x788
Connection Types:
Keyboard: Standard PS/2
Trackpad: ThinkPad UltraNav PS/2
Drive Model: WD GREEN SATA SSD 480GB
Guide Followed: Dortania's OpenCore Guide
What part I got an issue with: As you can see in the image, when I booted my USB (for test purposes, as I don't have enough space to install it. I still need Windows, sadly) I got stuck at an error with Lilu. The second time I tried to boot it, I got one with Whatevergreen. Also before getting to those errors I see some kind of, loop? It displays some errors with the ACPIs.
What files/config I'm using: My config.plist, My OC Folder.
Extra Info: I made the installer from a macOS Catalina VM using VMware. I know there's a way of doing it on Windows, but someone told me it was possible. Also, since this was my first Hack, and the performance of the VM isn't that great (main reason I'm doing the Hack) I chose to not generate the ACPIs. They are all prebuilt. Still, once I'm done with the Hack, I'm planning to make them the long way. But getting it running it's my priority rn.

But I can't seem to find a way to get it to happen within OpenCore.

Does opencore eliminate boot options like this?

How can I check my Motherboard ports/interfaces?
Hello, I am following FAQ post to see if I am worthy.
​
I am stuck here:
What interfaces/ports does it support? (internally)
M.2 support
Slot Types (A/E for Wifi or B/M for storage and PCIe)
Note for B/M: does it support SATA only or SATA and NVMe? And the PCIe lanes given for that NVMe slot (if possible and needed)
PCIe Slots (and their speeds, gen, lanes...) -- Mostly (and probably only) for desktops
SATA Ports (if any)
Is there a way that I can check these without opening my laptop? (Im afraid of making warranty void)

Thunderbolt 4 mobo or not
I'm planning on a mini ITX build and have very limited options for Intel motherboards with DDR5 support. I'm deciding between Asus B760-i and Asus Z690-i. The first one is around $200-210 while the second one is around $235-260.
The problem with Z690-i is it has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which is very cool if it's not used for Hackintosh. I am newbie when it comes to building these; however, I read the Dortania guide and saw that Thunderbolt support is iffy. Should I go for B760-i with USB 3.2 gen 2x2 or the Z690-i with 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, or get both and figure out which works? Thunderbolt 4 is such a cool thing and I also have the Zikedrive (USB4 enclosure that is capable of more than 3000 MB/s read/write sequential)
