Introduction

This repo contains information for getting macOS working on a mi NoteBook 14 (all Edition) laptop.

This is intended to create a "fully" functional (as far as possible) hackintosh for the Mi noteBook 14. If you would like to get started with creating a hackintosh on your Mi NoteBoook 14 but have non experience, I would highly recommend following Dortania's OpenCore Install guide and then returning here for troubleshooting. With each new release of macOS we need to resolve each new "minor issue" we run into. The installation is not perfect yet since it's a continuos work-in-progress, but I'm glad to say that I learned a lot in the meantime. All of the steps I made to get to this point were a result of countless hours of reading along with trial and error. I am by no means an expert so any help to get this project functional is very appreciated!

Summary

• The compatibility is very good for the most part, most of the stuff works like it would on a real MacBook, including camera, audio, touchpad, iCloud services.
• The experience is pleasant, as the laptop is smooth and responsive under macOS Big Sur.
• Battery life is quite great (from personal experience it lasts from 7 to 8 hours for light works depending on its age with a behaviour very similar to Windows 10 as shown in the macOS menu bar screenshots below).
• The Intel WiFi card can be replaced with a Broadcom one, but the Intel card is now functional albeit not operating at full speeds (however it is fine for most use cases). With the latest AirportItlwm.kext even Handoff and Continuity features are working, but with a very limited support for AirDrop and Apple Watch unlocking (see Changelog for OpenIntelWireless release v. 1.2.0 stable). For any issues about AirportItlwm.kext please refer first to OpenIntelWireless Troubleshooting page and then to OpenIntelWireless Gitter Page

1. Launch Terminal app
2. Copy the following script, paste it into the Terminal window, then press Enter

   git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS && cd GenSMBIOS && ./GenSMBIOS.command 

3. Type 2, then press Enter
4. Drag your config.plist inside the Terminal window
5. Type 3, then press Enter
