Hardware Compatibility

OpenCore EFI might work with Zenbook models under UX333, but it's not recommended.
Specifically geared towards Zenbooks with Coffee Lake laptop processors.

Software Compatibility

As of February 24, 2021, it works with Mojave and above. Currently updated to OpenCore 0.6.5.

Issues

  1. Speakers may sound abit distorted
  2. The battery may not charge all the way when booted to Mac OS.
    • It happens to charge up to only 83%.
      • This can be solved by letting it charge all the way while leaving it turned off.
  3. There is a bug where touchpad will sometimes stop working and work after a few minutes
