# thinkpad-t480s-hackintosh

A prebuilt OpenCore EFI for macOS on the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, based on the work of [Lost-Entrepreneur439](https://github.com/Lost-Entrepreneur439).

This is a macOS EFI for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, with support for Intel Wi-Fi cards. Currently, Ventura and Sonoma are supported. Sequoia should work with minimal changes, but this laptop is my daily driver, so anybody who wants a Sequoia-compatible EFI will have to wait until I get around to running it.

Follow the ["Downloading macOS" section in the Dortania guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/) to get macOS. ***Support will not be offered if you get macOS from any other source.*** After installing macOS, you will need to disable force clicking, as by default macOS will register all clicks as force clicks (System Settings -> Trackpad -> Uncheck "Force Click and haptic feedback")
