HP Pavilion Laptop Hackintosh EFI (OpenCore - Intel Skylake)
This EFI mostly works(refer to the disclaimer), and I have been using this machine daily for about a month. I replaced the 512g, 5400RPM drive with a 240g PNY SSD. 8GB in single channel memory results in a useable machine, adding a second stick of ram has a noticible decrease in battery life.

[1] Audio at full volume is still quiet for output(roughly 50% of manjaro while at 100%). Microphone works at normal volume. Using airpods or wired headphones results in adequate volume levels. The speakers are what have reduced maximum volume.
[2] Battery Life is about 5 hours. I replaced the battery with a generic one from eBay, it was worthwhile as it increased the battey life substantially. Pstates have been configured. The powerprofile has been set to that of a macbook air level of preformance to take advantage of the TDP-down powerconsumption of the i3-6100u(7.5 Watts@800MHz instead of 15W) on battery.
[3] Bluetooth does not have an independent toggle for power.
