What is currently working

• Accelerated graphics
• Audio codec
• Keyboard with brightness control and volume control
• intel energy prophile
• mapped usb ports, but I'm not sure if they are correct as I can't try them all
• SDST's (however I suspect they may be more customs to make the trackpad work)
• HDMI output trough usb-c (display port output) (turns out we need a smbios without egpu)

What isn't working

• Trackpad
• Touchscreen
• Bluetooth is buggy
• Haven't tried i-services
• Haven't tried encription security
• intel wifi is not working to max speed, but the fact that it is working nicely is pretty impressive
• Log-in chime

Installation

• usb2.0 with full install rom on APFS
• Mono boot
• note that the intel UHD appears with no number on model and description page, but we have 620 for plist related affairs
• make sure you use ProperTree.py to update the plist with ctrl+r before deploying to make sure the pathings are ok
