Title: Can I Hackintosh a Sony Vaio VGC-LV1S??
Post by: rodders on October 24, 2011, 04:13:57 pm
Hello all,

I am looking to create a hackintosh. But before going out and buying compatible parts I wanted to know if my SONY Vaio VGC-LV1S is compatible. It would be an ideal unit to install OSX on.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks

Here are the specs of the system
