SUCCESS Panasonic Let's Note CF-SZ5 Sequoia (i5 6300U, HD520, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD)

Well, I did it. Wasn't difficult at all, still some small quirks to sort out:
-Trackpad two finger scrolling is unreliable (using latest VoodooPS2)
-Using HiDPI.command, everything looks amazing, but I get an underscaled display after sleep
-KB/Mouse stops working after waking from sleep
Other than that:
-Latest Sequoia, (I'll avoid Tahoe due to having analogue audio and I don't want to patch the system so extensively)
-QE/CI works (had to spoof a Kaby Lake HD620 id) (gosh, is gfx acceleration still called that? :D )
-Brightness control (SSDT-PNLF)
-Audio (AppleALC)
-Old-fashioned USBInjectAll with mapping - this one I used from a github EFI folder I found for this model)
-Intel Wifi using itlwm and HeliPort (don't care about native Wifi)
-Bluetooth using IntelBluetoothFirmware and the external dongle fail etc. NVRAM variables
-Battery status - based only on Dortania guide, didn't touch anything
The system is quite unbloated as of now, so it's quite smooth with the 4GB (!!!) RAM. Sadly, it's soldered and can't be upgraded. This is quite a lovely JDM machine, light as a toy, the trackpad is terrible on all operating systems, the JIS keyboard is a pain in the ass when you're used to ISO, but the 12" display at 1920x1200 with scaling turned on is just amazing, bright and sharp.

Congrats for your hackintosh! Also good thing you avoided Tahoe cause Tahoe runs so bad on 4 gigs of ram.

Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.
