Jeez I’m old…squared sided on the sides of iPhones is mostly a callback to the iPhone 5 of 2012, one that I’d gotten after coming home from deployment. To hear that called “retro” in the same vein as the “hello” of the Mac from the 1980’s highlights the differences that will become more pronounced as I get older.

Of course, I’ve maxed the RAM at 6GB and upgraded to to an SSD to keep it usable. Given the similarities and performance differences, is it any surprise that I REALLY want the new one? Still need to visit a store so I can compare the 14” vs 16”.

I also had a mid-2007 MBP, sadly it didn't quite make two years service as I dropped it when getting out of my car having just been to the Apple store to have its screen replaced under warranty. I ended up with a 2009 Unibody MBP which lasted for nearly a decade. If you a visit a store you will buy the new one, I had a perfectly fine 13" M1 MBP but when I got my hands on the 14" it brought back memories of the Titanium PowerBook G4 and this Intel MacBook Pro and I couldn't resist.

Had the MB replaced once because of the 8600M reliability issue, screen is delaminating from front glass, so has some optical issues, one small dent in case from being dropped. On 3rd or 4th battery, third power brick. Some keys have the letters worn off. Trackpad button sometimes sticks. But it works and is still usable for casual work, even runs Windows under Fusion moderately well, but sluggish. Of course, it’s stuck at MacOS 10.11.6, and that a bigger issue every year, as fewer programs will work so have to use older versions. Still can’t complain about getting 14+ years out of it.

With my recent 14” MBP purchase, replacing said 2010, I felt very nostalgic for these older models. So, I set to eBay and got a deal on a 2007. My empty box I’ve refused to toss out has been completed! I never thought I’d be buying my first and latest MBP in the same week of the same year.

Really interesting video, especially the Steve Jobs event 15 years ago. Like you said, it's not really a matter of making a tribute laptop, but more a confirmation that some concepts will just always be a factor in a certain design typology. Laptops have always had the significat factor of battery life, that has to be balanced with performance, overheating, etc. In that sense it is almost absurd that the concept behind the M1 chip is something, that has just recently become a conversation topic. Before it was purely a matter of raw benchmarks. But it makes sense for Apple to be the ones to push it forward since it goes perfectly together with their overall philosophy - one ecosystem.

I thought the looked rather interesting with the glowing logo and much simpler design than I'd been used to in my Windows household. It was probably the first thing that really made me think about design- which I'm now getting a degree in. I'm still a Windows user, currently with a Dell XPS 13 9300, but man do Macs look great.

The track pad is cracked from the swollen original battery, which by the way still has some life in it. Other than that this amazing piece of kit is working like it was new, after 12 years of daily use. In case this baby would decide to die one day, I've got a 2010 Mac Pro standing by. My next Mac will be some M-chipped wonder. Yes, they are expensive, but it's a giant leap in performance per watt, which I think is the key to justify the price. So basically I'm skipping over the last decade of Intel macs, going straight to the M-Macs.

I had the max spec 07 model. It was cool but the glitchy nvidia chips ruined it

One thing I really miss about macs is the blinking sleep lights. They need to bring that back.

Do a challenge video where you try to live as an internet citizen for 1 week entirely off an iMac G3

What a great opportunity to unbox an almost new OG MacBook Pro. These videos just make me even more excited to get my 2021 MacBook Pro, just gotta hold out until December.
