I've been trying for almost a year to hackintosh this laptop. It's a Thinkpad W530 with the following specs:

Intel Core i7 3720QM Intel HD 4000 / NVidia Quadro K1000M (set to boot only to Intel) And the rest of the regular Thinkpad setup (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/w-series/w530/#techspecs)

I've been asking around in a TonyMac thread here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-laptop-support/76908-lenovo-w530-help-8.html

The only thing that isn't working is the system itself when it's booted without any flags. Right now, all it can boot with is safe mode, without sound, with pretty bad shearing of graphics, and without WiFi. The WiFi is to be expected though, since it's a centrino chip, and I have a dongle for it. The rest seems to be fine- the resolution is normal (1600x900), there aren't any stupid glitches in the system, the nipple works fine and most of the apps aren't sluggish, except for the graphics part.

Anybody successful with this machine? ...source
