Dell Latitude 3490 Issues

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Can anyone help with this?

Dell Latitude 3490

i5-8250u

8gb DDR4

Opencore Rel 085-2022-09-10

I managed to get Ventura installed on my laptop and it can boot without USB. Problems are:

1. Airdrop is not working. Wifi/BT card is Fenvi BCM94360NG.

2. Wifi is slow. I have a 500 down speed and only getting less than 10mbps on download with it. Speeds are perfectly fine with Windows.

3. Ethernet speeds are slow. Only getting 100mbps max on download. Speeds are perfectly fine with Windows.

4. Handoff also not working.

It won't let me upload the Runme file because it is bigger than 2.93mb.

Sorry I was out of town for a few days. These are the files currently in my Kexts folder for Opencore 0.8.5. I see Airdrop when I choose a right and right click on it and go to share but it says to share with someone ask them to open control center, etc. I have tried even sending from my iPad to this mackintosh with no luck. I am familiar with airdrop and how it works but nothing is working.

Even though this card says it is 1200mbps I only get less than 100mbps on wifi with a 500mbps connection: BCM94360NG NGFF M.2 2230 WiFi Card 802.11ac 1200Mbps Adapter for macOS

and less than 100mbps on ethernet running on cat6 as well straight to modem/router. The upload speeds are fine at 22mbps which is my max on upload from ISP.

See attached screenshot of kexts and versions installed.

Thanks

I gave up on this one. I ended up giving it to my brother who came down for a visit. It was given to me for free with repairs needed that I managed to fix.

Thanks for the help. I am working on my own laptop that I have, MSI GF63 Thin 9SC which I have posted on another post for some minor help.
