I never had one, though, and only ever used 68K Macs a couple of times at school - in the UK they were not as common as PCs in education. I did have a Commodore Amiga, which used the same CPU, but everything else about it was different. I recently bought a PowerBook G4 and I love it, though even with TenFourFox it is *no* use for browsing the web.

My first Mac was an Apple IIc in 1984! I was 9 at the time, and I was the one that set it all up! Mom Mom and Dad were floored. Cute fact: My Mom and Dad always worked so hard to give us the things they thought we needed or wanted, but couldn't always do so, because they weren't independently wealthy. But, at a parent-teacher conference, my teach told my folks that I had an affinity for computers and recommended that, if it were doable, they get me an Apple computer. They got the computer, monitor, printer...I know there was more, but they got the whole setup. And I was in love. I have never purchased a non-Apple computer in my life, and I doubt I will at this point. Thanks for the bit of nostalgia, Luke 👏👏👏

I wish Apple still had those intro videos! Miss that!!😩😩🖤🖤 Love this!!🖤

[@ignskeletons]

I love that little jab at the camera quality 13:02 Apple really has shown little to no love to Macbook cameras until maybe 2021 and even then it's only 1080p

[@robinbonathan]

Back in the day, I had one, great laptop.

14:22 When macs where in there prime

[@niksgee3538]

Try being me. My brain went down to trauma January 2010. So I missed all technology I had no idea, I wasn't connecting to the outside world. For years I was using a Toshiba laptop bought in 2009. Having no concept of the outside world for over a decade, you can't know the joy I experience buying old to you tech. Just bought a 2015 MacBook Pro. To me its amazing. I can buy old to you tech, as it is like amazing brand new tech to me :) I can't even begin to explain this to you. But its quite amazing. I get old to you tech, that is light years ahead of old 2009 things I was using.

[@matthewreid7213]

ah yes, this takes me way back......... to May when I unboxed my 16 inch MacBook Pro

[@rhyswilliams4006]

God that intro was legit, bring it back!

[@eshanbansal5272]

I love the fact that this has a better display than my 2017 macbook air with a 1440 x 900 display....

[@LMacNeill]

Oh, man, I remember that welcome video! Been *YEARS* since I've seen that! Nostalgia, baby! ;-)

[@Lei_D]

The early 2010 MBP 15 inch saved me from Vista and I still regard Snow Leopard as the best operating system ever made.

[@tommyvc12]

That welcome intro OMG that hit me hard, I remember I had a MacBook at 11, that I begged my parents for! It was one of the greatest decisions they made. I learned how to type so fast and I learned how to develop, code, hack etc.

[@mvanegasb]

I recently had the experience with a mac mini from 2014, it smelled new and it feels good and weird, hahaha. I understand you 100%

[@ssk7800]

I love your videos and this one was special for me, too. I remember opening the box of my 2007 mbp 17”, it was my first Mac laptop. I still have it and the box and remote... this computer has saved me when the graphics card died on my iMac. It’s slow and I’ve actually been wanting to ask about what updates I could do to it. I’ve gone though many batteries...I upped the ram and a larger 720 hard drive that’s pretty full but, I’ve been thinking the only thing I could do is replace it with an SSD. I investigated that ssd port on the side but I’m not sure if I’m finding the right product for that. Any opinion is welcome.

[@lukemiani]

You can use a patcher to run Mojave on these I believe, your best bet for upgrading is definitely an SSD

[@ssk7800]

Luke Miani thank you! Either I do that or a 16” MacBook Pro, it just bothers me that I can’t upgrade later...

[@benfen5188]

I bought this museum piece around 4 years ago in pretty good shape. I paid around $150 for it and today I still love playing around with it. Can't bring myself to ever get rid of it!

[@ccbest2100]

how amazing is that welcome scene,wish that comes back

[@camerons829]

“Idk if this will even do well on KZbin” *Ends up being is #2 most popular video on his channel*

[@rami1207]

If I ever had such macbook pro, I'd fully upgrade its components and keep it on. Man, these products should live on forever!.

[@brako2744]

“Woah wait a min that’s not new that’s refebished”

[@Windows7Pro2009]

I really love these old pre-unibody MacBook Pros. But if I really want one, I’ll get the late 2008 17 inch with the original Nvidia 8600M GT replaced with a newer (and very reliable) revision version of the 8600M GT. Edit: I don’t have an early/late 2008 MBP, but I got an early 2006 MBP which is decent.

[@bradlymccomb2991]

Newer subscriber to this channel here. This was such a joy to watch. I bought one of these 17” MBP brand new back in the day and used it as my daily driver for years. I also got goose bumps when the MacOS intro video started to play. Thank for the trip down memory lane Luke!

[@szehong5]

This is the exact model as my first Mac, back in 2007!

[@snipdips4863]

Lmao you vibing to the intro music was everything😂😂

[@Soyucky]

I bought a 2007 mb usedback in 2012, just upgraded the hd to ssd, then took it on a cycling trip through Europe and Morocco in 2014-2016, it racked around in a bicycle trailer the whole time, and it STILL works!

[@EricJay98]

The fact that 2007 was 13 years ago is unbelievable 😭
