Image quality is average and the appearance of colors can change dramatically depending on your viewing angle, but at least it’s very bright. It’s a shame the casing isn’t more rigid though – it bends and flexes under pressure quite easily.Īs you might expect for a laptop at this price, the 15in screen has a lowly 1366×768-pixel resolution, but that’s still sufficient for most programs. This doesn’t make it ideal for regular use while out and about, but if you do need to travel with it then at least the 5547’s battery is certainly up to it – lasting an impressive nine hours, 47 minutes. The 5547 is still relatively heavy though at 2.3kg, rising to 2.7kg with its charger. If you have the same issue, read this post about the patch: įor more detailed guide on setting up OS X on laptops with Clover you can read this post by RehabMan.
#DELL INSPIRON 5547 I7 PATCH#
There is a patch available, but it did not work for me. There is a one-second display garble at the end of the boot just before the login screen. The only solution is to replace it with any natively supported one, e.g. BCM94352HM with FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext. The existing WiFi card (Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160) is not compatible. Mount your EFI partition on HDD/SSD, go to EFI -> Microsoft -> Boot and rename bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi (as recommended by RehabMan)
#DELL INSPIRON 5547 I7 INSTALL#
Go to BIOS -> BOOT and make sure that Clover boot entry is at the top of the list (see above in Post Install section)
#DELL INSPIRON 5547 I7 WINDOWS#
In my case Windows rewrote my BOOT setting in BIOS, so that the system boots into Windows directly. If you already did so and Windows refused to install, try to delete this partition first leaving an empty space, and then restart the setup again. Note: Do not create Windows partition by MacOS Disk Utility. Run Windows Setup and install it to an empty GPT partition. Restart and press F12 to select UEFI USB. Go to BOOT -> UEFI BOOT and move the Clover boot entry to the top (F5/F6).Ĭreate bootable USB drive which can boot in UEFI mode and drop Windows installation there. Press 'View Boot Option Properties' and input path EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi. Under BOOT press 'Add Boot Option' and type Clover (or any name you want). Remove installation USB, restart and enter BIOS Setup with F2.

If you are familiar with editing the ist, at this point you may wish to remove unnecessary patches and fixes. Use CloverConfigurator to generate unique SMBIOS values - MacbookAir6,1 or MacBookPro11,1 should work with this laptop specs - and transfer these values to your ist. Generate your SMUUID by typing uuidgen in Terminal. Repeat steps 4 to 7 from above procedure when creating installation media, make sure you are now copying to EFI partition located on your hard drive (the one you just mounted).Īdd other kexts to EFI/Clover/kexts/Others: Install Clover to your HDD/SSD with the following settings: Use Disk Utility to format your hard drive as Apple HFSJ+ and GPT partition scheme.

Place required kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts/Others:įakePCIID.kext ( - use only listed kexts)įakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext (from the above link)ħ.
