THIS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED! I no longer have the T480s so I will not be updating this EFI anymore, and it has been archived.
thinkpad-t480s-hackintosh
A prebuilt OpenCore EFI for macOS on the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s
WARNING! If running Sonoma, ethernet IS required for initial half of setup if you use an internet-based installer. You will need to install Heliport for Wi-Fi. Ventura users can use Wi-Fi with no issues.
Use 1.x releases for Ventura, 2.x releases for Sonoma.
This is a macOS EFI for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, with support for Intel Wi-Fi cards. Ventura and Sonoma compatible.
Follow the "Downloading macOS" section in the Dortania guide to get macOS. Support will not be offered if you get macOS from any other source. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/windows-install.html#downloading-macos. 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")
