OSX on Thinpad X400s ?

Does it work ? I've read that the graphic chipset has no driver.

Yes and no. You can get it to boot but graphic driver will be a problem. Also some of the hardware will not work.

For more info check out posts on osx86 installations for T400 or T500 in the forum.

newly released macbook pros support intel hd graphics so there is a good chance that x86 can be installed on a t410s.

curious whether some sort of compatible discrete graphics will be necessary or hd graphics can be stand alone. apple's solution for their integrated/discrete graphics switching system may be also geared to prevent hackintoshing...

some people are already trying:
