Upgrade an old Apple MACBOOK PRO laptop with i7, after 11 years

[@tjkoker]

I don't think people really appreciate how hard Stop-Action filming can be. Well done. Cheers!

[@mixoh]

I do

[@HR-pz7ts]

I'd give up before starting. It's not just hard it's frustrating.

[@gergemall]

Beautiful

[@techcodesmartly2547]

funny video haha

[@mikhailkonstantinov3168]

especially when you’re doing an upgrade. i know that upgrading this kind of macbook is pretty simple but combining it with this kind of capturing is more than just a hard work!

[@dissonant__]

This is not a tutorial, this is art

[@alekslevet]

Exactly Btw check my channel! I make some stop motions too

[@MarcioMagnoo]

Indeed!

[@SupremeJeams]

This is art beyond art. The bast are ever.

[@jcza6932]

Don't worry, it's just a video, and you want to take it home.

[@SMGM7S]

No Talking ✅ Easy to follow along ✅ Extremely Detailed ✅ Not pixelated ✅ Why can’t every tutorial video be like this?

[@smoontiex]

Jewish music ✅

[@Maximus20778]

Because it's hard and that would defeat the purpose of the unique stop motion

[@aliounediop3613]

The Editing was truly a master piece

[@alekslevet]

Yeah

[@Adilet.Qizdarbay]

Because it's made on Xeon, together with Huananzhi х99 tf.

I've got a 2.7Ghz Quad i7 2012 non retina I bought in 2020 & did the same service. Pulled it completely apart, re-did the thermal paste on cpu/gpu, maxed out the ram, removed the optical drive & replaced it with a 2tb SSD, & replaced the boot drive with a 1tb SSD. Use it everyday & it works perfectly 👌

[@hotsaucenchicken09]

Where did you buy it? what is the max ram you can upgrade that model?

[@klebleonard]

@@hotsaucenchicken09 16gb is max ram it can take

[@xeon39688]

Why would you buy a 2012 laptop in 2020 tho, should have gotten a proper laptop

[@klebleonard]

@@xeon39688 well that depends, these old macbooks are still good, if he bought it for 150-200 dollars, then its a great deal ngl i'd take that offer

[@maladjustedtv]

@@hotsaucenchicken09 just on marketplace - took a while to find a good i7 model. Max ram is 15Gb

[@josiahstearns9615]

Okay… at first I thought the start of this video was just an intro… didn’t realize that the stop-motion went throughout the whole video. LOVED IT!!!

[@natayaway]

This format should be something that repair videos use. It's so easy to follow, I'm kinda disappointed that they don't.

[@munkykng416]

I've taken apart my 2012 MacBook pro a couple times...this is legit and better than some of the actual tutorials out there.

[@2CG-Solutions]

How long did this take to make this? the patience it took to do this is unimaginable

[@paritsharma314]

We want answer 😅

[@cybcarr]

@@paritsharma314 OP no read comments. OP finishing stop-motion art.

[@Slashmore]

11 years at least

[@hydraoneishere]

In the title, “after 11 years”

[@2CG-Solutions]

Woah is it in the title?? Are you sure?

[@СлаваИванов-ж4м]

Поражён до глубины души! Так эстетично, что глаза не могут нарадоваться. Это шедевр! Не представляю сколько сил Вы вложили в создание этого видео! Пусть Ваш ноутбук служит Вам долго и продолжает радовать!

[@User_1_34-v2c]

Эстетично и понятно - да! Но неужели нельзя было все манипуляции производить на более мягком покрытии, чтобы не ушатывать корпус?

[@srome0711]

The amount of time this guy spent on this video is insane

[@dougidoug]

Upgrading a Mac is next to impossible and stop animation is no easy thing. This video combines the two in a beautiful way. You are a genius sir

[@lukes_guitars_]

Editing a video in that way requires a LOT of time. My compliments for your great work.

[@HariMahadevanKoovapady]

One of the best ‘fix-it’ videos I have seen in a while! Brilliantly done! Bravo.

[@ataolcam311]

He wasn't lazy, he made stop motion... Vov! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@t3chninja_official]

The hings is spring loaded and lubricating it won't cause any harm to the mechanism. It will stop the creaking noise and make it work smoother. I have repaired many MacBooks in my days in IT and use either silicon based or lithium grease, doesn't take much. Once you remove the upper LCD assembly you can remove the plastic cover to expose the screws to tighten if needed and lubricate the hinge part.

[@paultravers2154]

OMG! This is the best animation I’ve ever seen in 50 years! And it’s excellent information! Keep it up! 3:58

[@gauravawana66]

This is not animation.

[@mikegraham4255]

@@gauravawana66 so it's stop motion..... What?

[@mikepxg6406]

Superb animation. Great job. Best wishes to you and Ukraine. Thank you. Mike. UK

[@BenitoiteBaTiSi]

Stop motion also an animation?

[@juandiegoferri]

@@BenitoiteBaTiSi yes (as a recent example, the new Pinocchio movie by Guillermo Del Toro is nominated as best animated film)

[@ốcquếbạchà]

By the first minute, it's already been the coolest disassemble video I've ever seen. So well done, love it!!!

[@100nickr]

Stop-Action is ondergewaardeerd. Dit filmpje is het beste bewijs. Prachtig initiatief. Ik geniet hier van.

[@altri3993]

Vous êtes un artiste. Ce qui veut dire que vous maîtrisez la technique ( les techniques, même ! Le remplacement des pièces du Mac et celle de la vidéo) et que vous créez quelque chose de beau, de nouveau. Merci et bravo

[@andrewphilshow]

The attention to detail in this video is amazing!

[@MrHobbyOne]

The best teardown video I've ever seen in my life ! So coooool

[@namkyldrm7609]

This video is not just a video; it's like a work of art. It captivated me while I was watching it

[@FredRed9]

Love the effort that you put into the stopmotion process... Big like

[@turinggirl6432]

am i sad i didnt get an i7 upgrade in the video yes. Is this still an incredible video and i love it and don't mind. also yes

[@elic.2443]

Right!? This is one click bait they didn't leave me completely angry

[@Clodd1]

Man, what was this? So damn good! This video deserves 1M+ views tbh!

[@Nemshek]

The editing and stop motion was so well done! Good job dude, I need to repaste my old macbook too. This was extremely satisfying to watch the whole thing through. Even your hand at the end was stop motion, loved it.

[@ekasatriabahari2264]

this stop motion is epic!!!! 🔥

[@alekslevet]

Yeah

[@alekslevet]

Mine are too...👆

[@bertr6741]

I'm more amazed with the animation than the teardown and upgrade of this Macbook..

[@constantinosgreek12]

This is great, last things to do if you want is upgrade the screen (if not already equipped), upgrade the wifi and bluetooth & update to the latest Mac OS via OpenCore. I can't speak for the lower models but if you have the 2.6GHz or 2.7GHz i7 it'll feel like an up to date machine.

[@maladjustedtv]

Mine is the 2.7 quad i7...currently on Mojave but thinking of moving on to something newer

[@jimi272]

@@maladjustedtv want to sell it to me? i'm looking for one, its been my dream machine since it came out... bought a retina in 2014, which broke down on me in 2021. if you're interested let me know:)

[@thomas_arun2]

The amount of skill work and sweat that went into this video is praiseworthy!!!

[@blackboxmediagroup]

This was a LOT of work to do. Bravo!

[@sp3edstr]

This is amazing! Apple would rule the tech world if they released videos like this

[@strugs]

This is brilliant! Wow, loved this. I know this machine inside out, and I think it’s so fun to see its internal components represented like this.

[@SimonSanchez-z2m]

What a fantastic video...I laughed my ass off !!!

[@walterreed8339]

Did you just Davey and Goliath me?!? That brought back memories. Brilliant! I have an A1278 2012 and that's on the project list.

[@EastEZ82]

This was so satisfying to watch. Don’t know how you did it. But this is amazing.

[@Lukepuke311]

That stop motion is really cool

[@Scyth3934]

Amazing stop motion! Well done!

[@dizwell]

At least a year late, but this is mesmerising! I cannot begin to conceive how long this took to film. Lovely work. Thank you!

[@kodyeldridge5847]

This video is absolutely ridiculous...I love it.

[@sriramvenkataramani8471]

Fantastic animation done

[@eltony4318]

Impressed by the stop motion style, stressed out by the fact of not using a soft surface to protect the iconic Apple logo from scratching. But, who cares, maybe it has to many scratches on it already. Kudos for this hard work anyway.

[@cambike]

That’s a great video. Excellent work.

[@maximediastore]

This is so good to view, this stop Motion way to show this upgrade made my day, thanks

[@lynskyrd]

THIS.. is fantastic. Unreal how much effort had to have gone in to making this. Well done. VERY well done.

[@sphaera3809]

I love your stop motion animation!! Amazing work! Upgrading the CPU on those is not really possible…😢 But a new SSD and more RAM, plus a fresh battery pack are a nice upgrade if keyboard and screen are still in good shape.

[@MTN1601]

You can replace cpus but the problem is it’s really expensive to upgrade soldered cpus and it’s not worth to upgrade, most people would just say to buy a new laptop or replace entire motherboard

[@alonsodsoto4466]

tecnicaly is posible to upgrade the cpu to a i7 but is very hard to do and if someone do it mabe broke the motherboard

[@dustinschings7042]

@@alonsodsoto4466 dosdude1 on KZbin will do it for you, for a fee. I wouldn't trust anyone else with something like this. I will always pick him. He does more than CPU upgrades. He also upgrades RAM on models with soldered on RAM modules as well as many other things.

[@angoose2515]

Funny thing is they did have G2 and G3 sockets for Intel's laptop cpu's back in 2012 that allowed you to upgrade. I had a thinkpad W520 around this time that I upgraded the cpu in.

[@JeffreyHeesch]

Now do one where you show all the internal upgrades you can do on the latest MacBooks!

[@matthewblundy7204]

That will be a quick one

[@therarebreeds77therarebree7]

This is what apple should be doing for its customers with every fucking thing they make- showing us how to upgrade it

[@TheNiceGuy-1991]

At this time, the battery was so easy to replace Now, it’s a nightmare 😂 Super animation !!

[@mikegraham4255]

I'd say that soldered Ram and storage are harder (impossible)

[@mikegraham4255]

@Pickle Man the Legend I wonder how much an ssd + ram upgrade would cost - if you could find someone to do it. At this point Apple might as well weld the thing permanently shut.

[@TechSpec814]

This is actually really helpful when taking apart a Macbook and knowing which screws are which

[@silas1414]

Wow. Beautiful animation. Love this.

[@WearyExellence]
