It’s a rule of mine to try making a Hackintosh on every laptop I buy, and the ThinkPad L14 was no exception. Fortunately, many things are working on macOS Sequoia.

ThinkPad hardware varies drastically depending on the model, so I’ll emphasize that mine is a ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 with the following specifications:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (2x8)
• SSD: 512GB NVMe UMIS
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX Vega 7
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: AMD RZ616
• Ethernet: Some Realtek RTL
• Sound: Some Realtek ALC

Current status:

• CPU: supported
• RAM: supported
• SSD: supported
• GPU: supported with help from NootedRed, but there are issues
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: not supported
• Ethernet: supported
• Sound: supported

Other things:

• Brightness: works
• HDMI: works
• Battery: works
• USB: works
• Thunderbolt: not tested
• Keyboard/TrackPoint: works
• Touchpad: doesn’t work (but there might be a fix)
• iCloud: works

Some discoveries:

• I had performance issues with the YogaSMC kext, which enables access to some sensors, among other things
• Using “Linux S3” in the “Sleep State” option in BIOS solves the problem where it restarts when shutting down
• Curiously, VoodooHDA worked better than AppleALC for audio
• The system only boots with this part of OpenCore configured this way:

A thank you to all the developers who make this possible, the work done is truly impressive.
