Xps 13 9370 Hackintosh

The story of the Dell XPS 13 9370 Hackintosh is a classic tale of a "near-perfect" match in the enthusiast community. For years, the 9370 was hailed as the "Dream Laptop Hackintosh" because its hardware closely mirrored the MacBook Airs of its era, making it a favorite for those wanting Apple’s software on Dell’s sleek, nearly bezel-less hardware The Technical Obsession

What makes this specific model interesting is the sheer dedication of the community to achieve "feature parity." Developers spent countless hours on creating custom

: Most users found they could get about 90% of the features working—sleep, trackpad gestures, and the display were easy wins The Wi-Fi Battle xps 13 9370 hackintosh

: The biggest plot twist for 9370 owners was the soldered-down Killer Wi-Fi card. Unlike other laptops where you could swap in a Broadcom card, 9370 users had to wait for the development of custom drivers (like "itlwm") just to get basic internet connectivity The Fingerprint Mystery

: Despite all the progress, the fingerprint reader remains a "ghost in the machine"—it rarely works because there are no macOS drivers for Dell’s specific hardware Why People Still Do It Even with newer models like the XPS 13 9310 or the redesigned XPS 13 Plus 9320 available, the

2. The Display is better than a MacBook

The 4K touch screen (3840x2160) is overkill for macOS, but the 1080p non-touch model is the sweet spot. 16:10 Aspect Ratio: This is the killer feature

• 16:10 Aspect Ratio: This is the killer feature. You get more vertical real estate than a MacBook Air 13” or Pro 13”. For coding or writing, it’s a joy.
• Brightness & Scaling: macOS HiDPI scaling works perfectly. Set it to "Looks like 1440x810" for crisp text without eye strain.
• Downside: Glossy finish (same as Apple). Fingerprints are a nightmare on the 4K model.

Tools and Resources

• EFI Partitions: You'll need to create an EFI partition on your SSD for bootloader files (e.g., Clover or OC).
• Dell XPS 13 9370 Hackintosh GitHub or Forums: Look for your model and macOS version-specific guides on sites like GitHub, Reddit (r/Hackintosh), or InsanelyMac.

2. BIOS Settings (Crucial!)

Enter BIOS (F2 on boot) and set:

• System Configuration → SATA Operation → AHCI
• Security → Absolute → Disable (if present)
• Security → TPM 2.0 → Disable
• Security → Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) → Disable
• Security → VT for Direct I/O (VT-d) → Disable (can re-enable later with DisableIoMapper quirk)
• Security → Intel Platform Trust Technology → Disable
• Boot → Secure Boot → Disable
• Boot → Boot List Option → UEFI
• Power Management → Block Sleep → Disable (keep default)
• POST Behavior → Fastboot → Thorough

Save & exit.
