HP ProBook
4530s
Hackintosh Ability: The ProBook 4530s is pretty much the gold standard of Hackintosh laptops. Almost every part of the ProBook 4530s works with Mac OS X: WiFi, audio, ethernet, sleep, bluetooth, USB 3.0, the battery meter, the trackpad, and even the SD card reader. Tweaking is kept to a minimum, since the HP ProBook 4530s forum on tonymacx86 has more or less figured out everything for you. If you're looking for a truly Hackintosh-friendly laptop, go with this one. It's even endorsed by tonymacx86 himself.

4430s
Hackintosh Ability: The ProBook 4430s lives up to the Hackintosh-friendly reputation of the HP ProBook line. Compatibility-wise, the 4430s is just as good as the highly-regarded 4530s: WiFi, ethernet, graphics, audio, trackpad, battery meter, and bluetooth all work with little to no effort. However, like all ProBooks, the ProBook 4430s has issues with bluetooth and brightness controls, and the VGA port and external microphone don't work.

4730s
Hackintosh Ability: The ProBook 4730s mostly works with OS X Mountain Lion, but it's not nearly as Hackintosh-compatible as the 4530s. The graphics card in the 4730s (the AMD Radeon 6490M) doesn't work with Mac OS X, so you'll have to disable it in the BIOS. This isn't a huge loss, but it's inconvenient, and it definitely complicates the installation procedure. The 4730s also has problems displaying Mac OS X at the correct screen resolution, since it uses a different resolution (1600x900) than other ProBook models.

Lenovo G470
Hackintosh Ability: Setting up Mac OS X on the Lenovo G470 is not totally straightforward. Fortunately, the standard Unibeast installation method works. After the initial installation, all you have to do is run Multibeast once, and then install a few extra extra kext files. From there, almost everything will work properly: graphics, WiFi, ethernet, Bluetooth, sound, trackpad gestures, battery meter, and even the Fn keys on the keyboard. The laptop does not automatically go to sleep when you close the lid, but you can still sleep manually (by clicking the "Sleep" button in the Apple icon menu, at the top-left of Mac OS X). The webcam also works, though it apparently suffers from brightness issues. The only parts of the laptop that don't work at all are the SD card reader and the brightness controls, neither of which is a major issue.

Lenovo
IdeaPad B570
Hackintosh Ability: With a good amount of tweaking, you can turn the Lenovo B570 into a reasonably functional Hackintosh. WiFi, ethernet, graphics, audio, battery meter, sleep, and the trackpad all work. The webcam does not work normally, though it works with the app CamTwist (this is a common Hackintosh quirk). The SD card reader doesn't work at all. In OS X Mountain Lion, CPU power management doesn't work properly; however, though this may harm performance and waste battery life, it probably won't affect the laptop's day-to-day usability.

Acer Aspire
5750G
Hackintosh Ability: All of the essentials of the Acer 5750G, such as WiFi, audio, and the trackpad, work on OS X Mountain Lion without much of a hassle. Neither Bluetooth nor USB 3.0 works in Mac OS X, but they're not exactly critical features. However, the 5750G's discrete graphics card also doesn't work, so you'll have to turn it off in the BIOS (thereby eliminating the biggest advantage that the 5750G has over similarly-priced laptops).

ASUS G53Jw -
A1
Hackintosh Ability: If you're looking for a high-end Hackintosh laptop, the ASUS G53Jw is a great choice, as long as you don't mind its relatively outdated hardware. However, the OS X installation process for the G53Jw isn't the simplest, so you'll need some previous Hackintosh experience to pull off this install.
ASUS G74SX Hackintosh Ability: If you're looking for a high-end Hackintosh laptop, the ASUS G53Jw is a great choice, as long as you don't mind its relatively outdated hardware. However, the OS X installation process for the G53Jw isn't the simplest, so you'll need some previous Hackintosh experience to pull off this install.
Hackintosh Ability: In the same vein as the ASUS G53Jw, if you need a powerful Hackintosh laptop that can serve as a desktop replacement, the G74SX would be a fine choice. The installation process for the G74SX does not involve anything particularly out of the ordinary, but it's certainly not easy-- I would only recommend this laptop for experienced Hackintosh users.
