The 12" macbook remains my favorite laptop of all time and I'm not even a mac guy. That machine got me though field camp in Wyoming in a Rugged case even though people thought I was crazy for packing a laptop in my hiking gear. I'd absolutely own a modern version.

wow amazing story! Thanks for sharing and watching!

I just scoreed a near mint Gold 2017 12 inch macbook for 200$ on ebay. 16gb RAM and a 512gb SSD. Mac Os was running 160-185 degrees F. So I wiped it and install baremetall Arch Linux. It now hovers around 115-135 degrees F. Linux brings better open source drivers and is less bloated. So in love with this thing. Like it almost as much as my M1 Max. I use externa;l keyboard and mouse. Im not touching this thing even though the keyboard is flawless. Enjoy yours. Open core legacvy has all my old ass Macs running sonoma and ventura and my 2010 17 inch mac works fine. for the 2011 GPU issues. I fixed four of mine with DosDudes GPU terminal commands in the apple CLI terminal.. Take out all the old mechanical HD's and installed new SATA SSD's. Perfectly usable still.

Very cool nice one. thanks for watching

As someone who own's a gaming laptop that basically functions as a fixed pc, moving every year or two, i would just love to have a small light full featured laptop like this. Will probably look for someone reselling one of these. It's lovely to look it. Great review

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Hey thanks so much it is a great little device! Thanks for watching

[@concept226]

Hard to buy these used as so many had faulty keyboards.

[@yade1234]

@@concept226 ahh that sucks, I guess refurbished is the only way

[@scootrodellabutro6183]

Could you do a video about your HomePod minis that you’re using as desktops speakers? Do you have any playback latency? How did you pair them in stereo mode with using two? Your experience of using them for your computer? Thanks for the videos. I’m enjoying them. 👍

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Thanks for the idea! I will add it to the list! Thanks for watching!

[@baoboba]

they work for music and video playback but do any video calls or anything that requires live audio, there’s quite a bit of noticeable latency

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Good point

[@oyeleketioluwaniayomide2379]

Awesome Video! I love the fact that it was straightforward and simple. I hear you mention you want to resell it, I’m a student and found this video researching budget friendly mac. Where can I reach out to have that discussion?

[@techhubwiltsuk]

cool thanks for watching, you can hit me up in my socials or email is in about me in KZbin!

[@kare_suzuka]

Awesome video. I'm currently using the 2017 MacBook Pro which weighs about 1.37 kg/3 pounds as my main laptop. It's the lightest MacBook Pro that ever existed but I found that it's still a bit heavy for me, and thinking of getting this 12-inch MacBook to use outside.

[@techhubwiltsuk]

That’s awesome, thanks so much for watching

[@CrazyPanda688]

Might be buying one of these tomorrow for £180 gbp. That’s what I’m going to offer the guy. It’s up for 225. Not top spec sadly, (2016 with 1.1ghz processor and 8gb ram), I was on the lookout for the I7 16gb versions but they are few and far between. I just want something to last a couple more years before I go to Apple silicone. Just something to watch KZbin on and browse the internet with As long as the battery is good on it I think I’m just gunna buy it. Seller says the battery still lasts for hours so that’s a promising sign if so

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Cool and thats a good price to get it for! Thanks for watching!

[@sxlxmx9]

Hello mister, an excellent video, I just have a question, do you know how it would work for music production? Thank you very much!!!

[@techhubwiltsuk]

No it doesnt have the power for this, Garageband may work but not may tracks! Thanks for watching!

[@a.lawrence4969]

You can install Sonoma with OCLP.

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Yes you can but didnt want to confuse the avwrage consumers! Thanks for watching

[@ixwr1]

i have it now for two months....have you got any problem with overheating ??????

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Hi, i only tested it for a day and it got a bit hot when installing OS but doesnt surprise me if it does. Thanks for watching

[@josechacon835]

Nice video 🎉🎉

[@techhubwiltsuk]

thanks

[@anUntouchable]

Will they release the 12 inch again? are there any rumors?

[@techhubwiltsuk]

No none, would be nice though! Thanks for watching!

[@rocketshiftgaming5693]

Apparently they are working on one, but it will be launched later this year or next year.

[@baoboba]

it’s rumored to release late this year or early next year, costing around $700

[@techhubwiltsuk]

@baoboba I’ve not heard this but that would be awesome

[@Aero_Ighu]

Wait This might be the best fir kids 🤔

[@techhubwiltsuk]
