My HP ProBook 450 G3 Hackintosh laptop configuration.
(NO MORE UPDATES FOR THE CONFIG ONLY BECAUSE A COWORKER SPILLED LIQUID ON THE LAPTOP AND FRIED IT LOL)
I NOW OWN A HP PROBOOK 450 G6 I5 VARIANT AS OF 3-2-22
I put these commands at the top so everyone would see them :)
After install to get sleep/wake working run theses commands:
"sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0"
"sudo pmset autopoweroff 0"
"sudo pmset powernap 0"
"sudo pmset standby 0"
"sudo pmset proximitywake 0"
"sudo pmset tcpkeepalive 0"
"sudo pmset lidwake 0"
after install to enable TRIM (TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR SSD) run this command:
Type "sudo trimforce enable" and hit return or enter.
Carefully read the important notice and if you still wish to proceed, hit Y.
If you would like to disable TRIM, you can use the command:
"sudo trimforce disable"

Thanks to: The entire internet.
only 1% is my actual doing. this config is the result of many other config fixes and tips. I just combined them into a working config.
Most other guides were designed for the i5 version of this laptop, not the i7.
this is designed for the i7 variant.
(I rebuilt the config manually with the same settings so it wouldn't be corrupt)
Below is a link to my configuation
if anyone wants to make this config better for everyone let me know your fixes and ill include them and give you credit :)
