But, in general, what kind of a something am I looking for, based on the questionnaire I filled out?

Dual core ULV i5/i7 with TN 1080p screen, 1 TB storage, no ssd, 4-8GB ram.
If I were you, I'd import a laptop from USA with the help of a friend.

Is the ULV performance back on track yet? The last I checked, 3rd gen mobile processors outperformed 5th gen ULV counterparts.

You will most likely also get an option with Ryzen APU by october..

I don't think RyZen counts as hackintosh compatible.

Bump. Purchasing date shifted to mid Sept.

If you are looking for a compatible OSX86 (Hackintosh) machine go for HP Probook's. They are tried and tested, everything works OFTB, except for Wi-Fi you can easily swap with a compatible Wi-fi chip.

Hey Lava rep, post complete info or GTFO.
As for the "play games" part, if it doesn't have at least a GTX 1060 6GB, throw it in actual Lava.

Imported from USA, no branded box, etc available. Is it still a trusted buy?

Buy the above-mentioned laptop from HP Reseller or Distributor himself. In this way, you can avail Warranty and be rest assured in case of any RMA.

Else you can go with this:HP Pavilion 15-au624tx Notebook (7th Gen Intel Core i5- 4GB RAM- 1TB HDD- 39.62cm(15.6)- Win 10 with MS Office- 4GB Graphics) (Silver)
Though it comes with only 4GB DDR4 RAM, you can add another 4GB DDR4 RAM anytime later.
This comes with full warranty.
But it's somewhat costly.

no doubt that the Probook series by HP is one of the best series out in the market, it’s a step below their business oriented Elitebook but still manages to be pretty solid in terms of the build quality along with the top of the line specs.
