Can you still use this 15-year-old MacBook in 2023? - A review of the 2008 13" Macbook

In this video, I'll be reviewing this 2008 13" MacBook and see if it's still usable in 2023. Coming in at a price of $1300 back in 2008, this laptop is equipped with a Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and Intel GMA x3100 Graphics, I'll review its specs, design, and overall usability to give you a better idea of whether or not it's worth purchasing in 2023.

Linux?

[@TygoDoesStuff]

I will make a updated review in the future, once I'm done with the projects I'm currently working on, testing this macbook on linux as well! Multiple people have asked me to test it out running Linux, and to be fair, Linux is a far better OS for this macbook than windows

[@iplyrunescape305]

windows??? you may get better results on Linux

[@TygoDoesStuff]

I will make a updated review in the future, once I'm done with the projects I'm currently working on, testing this macbook on linux as well! I've got multiple requests from people asking me to test it out running linux, so I'm curious how the performance is in Linux!

@@TygoDoesStuff Awesome! Sorry about the bluntness there, but it does strike me odd when people try getting a very very old computer (or totally different hardware like Macbooks) and just slap Windows on it. Linux could perform on it much better.
Call me crazy, but I've thought of picking up the "trash can" Mac Pro and put Elementary OS on there. A 64GB 12-core system for less than $500? count me the hell in dude.
