I am planning on purchasing a T490 with the intention of installing Ventura on it as there is quite a few issues with my current Thinkpad and it’s time for an upgrade.

I am glad to see that there is a few GitHub repos for it but I am wondering if there is anything I am overlooking before planning to purchase it and possibly upgrade some components. I am quite new to hackintosh builds having only ever done one before, for a friend.

Do you think I would have issues if I upgraded the display to or bought one with a WQHD display (2560x1440)?

Am I right to opt for the model without dedicated Nvidia graphics?

Am I okay to believe all the T490 I7 processors compatible?

From what I read I would have to replace the Samsung NVMe M.2 as its not supported, that’s OK.

I am thinking 16-32GB of RAM, budget dependent.

I would appreciate any input, suggestions or recommendations before pulling the trigger.

    the only issues with the display might be dpi but there are probably fixes for it and for the processor you just need to make sure that the generation is one of the supported generations
