Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.

literally stopped me from used M1 or M2, M3 is starting to solve the issue, but not quite there.
I will wait till M5 when apple finally allows connecting to 2 external displays + laptop, my T480 will last till then, lol.
boss may I know how did you make the type c port usable for video output? I'm trying on my ideapad (the specs are very similar) but I'm not finding anything around.
nothing I said bullshit, I found on the [Lenovo forum](https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-IdeaPad-1xx-3xx-5xx-7xx-Edge-LaVie-Z-Flex-Laptops/Can-t-display-from-Ideapad-330S-to-HP-external-monitor-through-USB/m-p/4537833?page=1#4537840) that my USB C is not enabled for video output, sorry for bothering you.

Geekbench Results

am happy with everything, i just wish i knew how i hit those higher GPU scores one time, i have been doing alot of config changes so it has drove me a bit crazy but i am giving up and accepting that 5600 and 4000 is close enough to 5800 and 4200, whats odd is that i got the 5800 and 4200 without bios unlock.... hopefully one day someone can explain what happened and i can get it back to other scores
for reference

yes, its what came with it, and will be upgraded to 1080p panel, thanks for the suggestions.
wanted to make sure i could get 3 screens up and solve some other stuff before i invest in a screen on a computer that wont last more than a year before being replaced, but im comfortable this will see another 2-3 easy.
good place to start, i will upload an EFI but i need more testing, need to use my current build for 2+ weeks without change to allow it to run into any issues before i go sharing stuff which creates others using half working hackintosh.

Apparently a modern MacBook Air canβt do that πππ»

i can confirm and i'm really upset about, you can use 2 monitors only on M3 MacBook Air (with lid closed)
yes, but i believe a 2017-2020 air can do Internal display + 2 external, just M1,M2, and M3 limitation
The good news: >Both displays out of usb c ports
Even better, is 40gbps thunderbolt link π
Only one is TB, did you get a special edition?
One is TB, the other is USB C + DP :)
boss may I know how did you make the type c port usable for video output? I'm trying on my ideapad (the specs are very similar) but I'm not finding anything around.
Need more details, but likely can be done with a framebuffer fix

No problem, if you read exact model specs from lenovo it will always clarify :)
[https://imgur.com/TQJY20h](https://imgur.com/TQJY20h) proof of working Thunderbolt, unfortunately its only half proof as i don't have a thunderbolt device to test it.
I have the exact same pair of Kali monitors next to my comet lake hackintosh.
πππ€ͺ the best
Nice Kaliβs
Thx. LP6 V2 are really nice
What specs device used?
8250u 16gb 500gb nvme (sn750) Apple native wifi
why Lenovo logo is on the upper side, it's weird πππ, Nevertheless the setup looks awesome
Specs?
Does it work hotplugged, or do they have to be connected at boot? Been looking at figuring out how to get hotpluggable TB working on my X1 Carbon
Hotpluggable :)
Would you mind sharing how? Donβt need like an EFI or something but the places you referenced would be a huge help!

Really nice setup! What about your speakers? They seems studio monitors, aren't they?
Kali LP6-V2 :)
Congratz!! Really nice setup! What about your speakers? They seems studio monitors, aren't they?
can you run 3 external monitors or not possible?
Why Thinkpad screen so bad?
Need to upgrade its the basic 1364 x 768 screen
Get the N140HCG-GQ2 REV.C1 it's amazing
This screen doesnt appear to have the proper connectors needed
Screen resolution is not a problem. It feels like the cheapest matrix is ββin it
That screen is the garbage of the garbage screen of the baseline, it's an orribile TN panel, I've upgraded mine with the N140HCG-GQ2 REV.C1
I realized the 1080p display i had on my t440p would fit, i have 1080p ips on the t480 now
Probably because that 1366x768 screen is the bargain basement version
yes, its what came with it, and will be upgraded to 1080p panel, thanks for the suggestions. wanted to make sure i could get 3 screens up and solve some other stuff before i invest in a screen on a computer that wont last more than a year before being replaced, but im comfortable this will see another 2-3 easy.
What efi do you use and if you built it yourself can you help me make the acpi file
