Why such a long and detailed guide Because most Hackintosh build guides are minimal and focus on copy-pasting the OP-provided Clover directory.

I want this guide to be reproducible, so I described every non-trivial step, so we can share the exact same build.

In addition, thoroughly describing everything makes the build way more upgrade-resilient and useful even with future BIOSes, hardware revisions and MacOS versions.

I will try to be very specific and to describe every difficult step with detail.

Here are described only the steps which I found hard to understand and are specific to this laptop (e.g.

BIOS extraction for DVMT patching).

I will try to explain what every patch does, because you cant be a good hackintoshing if you are not eager to learn.

Its not fixable for FHD screens, because its embedded in display firmware that is not flashable via OS.

If I wont be able to live with CABC, Ill try the swap with a non XPS13-specific OEM display.

Dell has finally released the tool to reflash Sharp FHD screen and disable CABC.

The improvement in maximum brightness is huge Give it a try A note on keyboard backlighting: You may want to change the default Keyboard Backlighting timeout (10s) and the way the keyboard resets the timeout when you interact with input devices.

Download the official Dell Feature Enhancement Pack, install it, open Control Panel-Keyboard and youll be greeted with this tab.

The change is permanent as a new value is written in a keyboards controller registry.

Such a loss. A note on SpeedShift (aka HWP aka Intel SST), XPCM and OS-driven Power management in general: With vanilla SSDTs, Power Management (CPUGPU) works beautifully.

I strongly advise you not to try HWP until we better understand it.
