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.
