I advise against it. The laptop is really fragile and a BIOS bug will force you to disassemble it a bunch of times to get it to boot back. If you can't disassemble it (lack of knowledge / scared to do so) you'll need to send it to repair and that will cost you. If you do disassemble, you might break it (it did, not only once, but twice, and I'm used to doing that on a daily basis).
Stick to VMs (I know the experience sucks, and you won't be able to passthrough the GPU, so it will lag for sure), but at least you won't break the damn machine.
Save a few bucks and buy yourself some cheap desktop parts and build a PC. There it will be much easier to setup a working hackintosh with no issues. Even a Core 2 Duo (needs to support SSE 4.1 for High Sierra and Sierra, and SSE 4.2 for Mojave and up) will do it (altought I recommend a Core i3 or better, because Core 2 Duo means DDR2 and 4GB max of RAM, which will make it run a little bit slower that what it's supposed to). Another important thing to pay attention is GPU.
DO NOT BUY NVIDIA CARDS. Sorry for the all caps, but it is really important. They won't work on macOS 10.13+ (Mojave and up). Even on High Sierra they don't work as expected on certain scenarios.
Take a look here for more information on which GPUs and other parts to buy.

Sorry for the delayed response. Hope it helps!

Hi! I have this laptop model and would like to hackintosh it! I never did this before and would like to at least now how to get started. I don`t know how to apply a patch nor ever installed hackintosh on any physical hardware (only vbox).
Could you please provide us a brief guide?
