Is the compatibility with the computer ok? Or there is problems related with sound or suspending the machine?

Most OSX86 Distros have Chameleon Boot Loader integrated to select your OS at the start. But I encourage a clean install following the instructions from this forum (Just search for the thread in the main section). Anyway, Chameleon is in charge of the OS selection and you can and MUST install it  So don't worry about the boot.
The K50IN is very compatible with OSX86, in fact when you get to install everything it works almost the same or maybe better than a real macbook of the same specs For the sound you can use the kext from The_Man_Of_Oak in the first pages. As for the suspend function I haven't been able to get it work but most users have reported that in fact, it works so you just need to try
Greetings!
