help [Question] - Acer Swift sf114-34 Hackintosh - Possible?

[MegatronsKneecap]

Hi Guys!

 

I'm new here so if this isn't in the right section than my bad lol ?

 

Basically, I've been given this laptop by a friend as they no longer need it. I'm not exactly in need of another laptop... But, this actually a pretty nice machine! With a decent full HD 1080P LG panel, nice keyboard and trackpad. It actually runs as a pretty fast machine for a laptop just bordering on mid-range! Given these few things, I think it could make a pretty decent Hackintosh project. It's rocking:

 

- An Intel Pentium N6000 Silver CPU (Jasperlake).

- 4GB LPDDR4 RAM.

- (Not many people have been able to find this info but w/ some digging) Intel UHD Icelake G1 Graphics or its production name "32EU".

- Realtek ALC 256 Audio.

- Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter.

 

I can't find a single darn article about Jasperlake & Hackintoshing on Google. 

 

I saw somebody say the Pentium graphics aren't supported but it has to be, being an Icelake-based platform. Although, I used the Icelake EFI file and it wouldn't even boot. I got a completely black screen. 

 

I've done a couple of Hackintosh projects before using the OpenCore guide and The Olarila method. Both were simple and easy to follow. With a couple of articles, I was up in a matter of hours. This being a sort of "unsupported" machine (as it's Pentium-based W/ Unsupported Graphics) it is a little more difficult to source the correct info for it. But I think it just may be possible!

 

The specs are actually perfectly fine for MacOS BigSur which is my target OS. Mojave and Catilina are also options too.

 

It's basically a little more snappy than a 2013 MacBook Air.

 

Anyone think it's possible?! I'm willing to put the time needed into this as a fun little weekend gag so that shouldn't be an issue.

 

Looking forward to hearing your response!

 

Thanks, MegatronsKneecap.

No support for this IGPU.

Oh right gotcha. I think I can move past the graphics issue. Is the CPU supported at all? If the Pentium is supported, I can at least fiddle around with some graphics patches later.
