Very few people spend over $3000 on a Mac and let it sit in the box for 12 years... but today that's exactly what happened! As a finale for 2020 I've found a brand new MacBook Pro from 2008 that is sealed in it's original packaging and shipping box and we're going to unbox this retro Mac for the first time - 12 years after it was manufactured

I see the scissors have made a comeback in the unboxing process! What happened to the elegant butter knife used in your previous video? LMAO. Great video Luke!
Is there going to be any sort of End Of The Year type videos in early 2021
Thank you Luke, I did enjoy it so much! Let me ask you something... while watching your videos (which by the way I must say all of them are delicious) I was thinking about a topic that perhaps many other followers would be interested in... why not doing a video about yourself? I mean, who you are, your education, what have you brought ending up doing this great Mac videos, your hobbies, thoughts, views, musical tastes, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only curious! Anyway, thanks so much for all your content!
Hugs from Barcelona!
Nice one
Love it! Please install iMovie 6 HD and edit a video! BTW, if you have a DV camera handy and hook it up with Firewire, that would be really cool! - Here is a little demo I did in 2009, using a G4 PowerMac "Wind Tunnel" in our lab - ruclips.net/video/v4Io51uZROM/видео.html
Lost my mind when the intro video came back
Wait with the new M chip MacBooks? Could you link it please
@@andrejzlall I think he meant during the video on the 08 MBP lmao
I miss the intro video ...i recorded the chime for my 2017 imac
Wish they had that today.
Hey im a big fan
This man is genuinely in love with Apple.
Nice find . I just bought an early 2008 off eBay. The laptop looks brand new and the battery only has 6 cycles on it. It arrived with a fully charged battery too, which was crazy.
What operating system is it running? What do you use the computer for?
I love the misspellings.
15:17 that startup intro was the best
Indeed.
I really like the removable battery design on laptops. Because you can power it even with just the power cord plugged into it directly even w/o the battery attached to it.
if you run these Without the battery, they will run the fans on high and stay stuck in low power mode... its worth getting Any functioning aftermarket or used battery than having none..
This was special to me. This is where it all started from me. This computer, and in fact iMovie and GarageBand in particular on this computer, got me where I am today. I absolutely love it, and sort of wish the design style of the computer and OS X would return. It looks fantastic to me still. And the little hibernation indicator it had where it would glow like it was breathing. It's legendary. I since went and got all sorts of Apples, old and new, including old PPC Macs and my 2020 iMac I'm writing this on, but this thing holds such a special place in my heart
I remember when my bestie got a 2008 Macbook Pro back in 2008, it made me want get a Mac of my own ever since and after 13 years I finally get my own Macbook Pro tomorrow! :)
Rocked one of these from launch until late 2018 when Chrome and its memory hunger made me change. Great device, great times.
Apple needs to bring back/remaster the intro video 😭 Kinda like how they somewhat remastered the power on chime with Big Sur
One of my favourite MacBooks - possibly the best keyboard Apple ever made.
Damn I wish they still had that into
Work with surplus storage. From time to time get items bought but never opened. First time seen an old MacBook like this. Did see a 2010 cheesegrater Mac Pro new in box a few months ago.
Okay that old 2008 style editing sent me back to a nostalgic time. That was amazing
I had a 15” 2008 MBP. It got stolen, so I replaced it with a 2009 15” unibody MBP. The 2009 is still going, although I now have a 2020 16” MBP. I have the original boxes for all three in the attic.
I remember getting a microfibre cloth with my 2017 4K iMac. I bet 2017 was the last year they did those. My parents didn’t get one with their 2019 5K iMac, and I CERTAINLY didn’t get one with my 2020 (Intel) MacBook Air
Luke: takes pictures on a 2g
Me: watching on a iPhone 12
Finally an unboxing where the videographer knows the correct way to use the scissors!
Just imagine that one day, there will virtually be no more unboxings since we will go through the original production count of how many of these devices were made...
Opening a Mac-nificent packaging with ordinary scissors... xD
can you do a day just using this macbook and the iphone 2g?
greetings from italy
I have Mojave on a 2008 iMac, runs very well
I watch old Mac unboxing videos and am constantly stumped when people go gaga over the micro fiber cloth because I have NEVER gotten one with my 2007 or 2012 models. I wear glasses so I horde every microfiber cloth that comes my way so I know it's not something I just forgot about.
Fun fact: You can get this MacBook to Big Sur
The indentations on the top foam piece kinda remind me of the new Mac Pro, and the charger looked like it was placed in a sort of non Apple way, as the cable looked a bit sloppily placed in compared to the rest of the package.
this is like a opening sarcophagus of a 5,000-year-old mummy
You made this video a lot of fun to watch. Kudos.
This was cool bro, I had one the 17 inch and it got stolen from my friends home after a party I worked
I have a 2009 MacBook pro 13inch. I really don't know much more about it because at that time in my life I really didn't know much about the computer, I just used it for school. I used it for 6 months and one day didn't know that it was in my backpack, so while I was cleaning put my truck I threw the backpack from the truck to the garage. The MacBook has a broken screen and whatever else from that crash. It has sat in my closet ever since 🥴😩
I love that face XD 15:47
Soon as you turned it on I also held my breath 😀
Design wise, the 2021 M1 Pro and M1 Max Macbooks don't look all that different from the outside.
Should have installed Final Cut Studio. OG.
Where you can find Old Mac prices???
I subscribed when you pressed F to pay respect for the battery.
15:16 For The Mac Welcome Video.
15:22 OMG!!!!@ I MISS THE INTRO VIDEO!!!!!!!
It's unsheathed - let's pull it out shall we?
Wow... If it came from Brazil, I can guarantee that a lot more than 3 grand was dropped in this thing.
Very brave to not even open it. Made for an excellent video!

Lmfao
What'd you change with your lighting? Looks weird.
Open Legacy allows you to run monterey 😂
I miss the aqua user interface.
Somehow, I knew the owner was Brazilian. We are weird that way.
If you have any MacBooks you want to get rid of ill take them 👀
What do you do with all this old Mac?
Even in 2021 apple lap tops from the early 2000s are thin
13:00 MacBook Reveall
The stairfoam design from the front looks like the design of the new mac pro 😱😱
So i was not the only one thinking that😂
It's also the back design of the apple monitor!!!!!!
Yeah that is almost spooky but cool nevertheless. It's as if someone in Apple said "Hey, remember that packaging we used?" at the design meeting and everyone went "Genius - woo, hell yeah!"
That was my first thought!
Wow seeing this is crazy I was wondering is anyone noticed as well. Thats so cool, the Apple continuity
Real talk: That iSight ain’t even worse than modern MBP web cams.
With exception to the new M1 Macs. Also I highly expect the redesigned gens coming next year to have 1080p finally
iSight cameras were 480p so yeah they are worse
@@nhlvan It's a joke
@@nhlvan they honestly don't even look that bad tbh
@@Untitled-cd5qj Yeah, to me they look like most laptop webcams in 2020
I worked at the Apple Store from 2008-2011 and saw that intro vid hundreds of times, and yet seeing it still never gets old
why did u see it hundreds of times? Did u work at the genius bar?
@@Commander_HW FRS, I did setups and RAM upgrades
It’s the small details that matter, like how voice over comes in right after the music fades and it feels really futuristic
21:44 "subtitle text here" that got me XD
안녕하세요 ㅋㅋㅋ
That random 9 got me
I was literally deceased when that random "9" came scrolling up.

I love this kind of unboxing video, kind of makes me feel how far tech has advanced in just a decade.
yea me too
@@Mateokai045 that's cool
Wait for m1 mbpro and lets see how good that turns out
@@luquivarde7266 how do you feel about it now?
@@whatispizza not the person you replied to. But I am in absolute love with the m1 mbp. The power it has and how little power it uses is amazing.
8:55 “I don’t know why they don’t include these anymore”
Mr Krabs: “money”
Apple as mr krabs: I’m not cheap! I’m not cheaaaap!
They use cellophane wrap now
20:20
Definitely 2008 with the iMacs in the background 😂🤣🤣
It could be plausible because the LED cinema displays look the same for the parts that you can see and they were released in 2008
And "20:20" 😂🤣🤣
@Gaming York that design of imac wasn't released until 2009 but im saying since you cant see the bottom bezel it could be an led cinema display
Wow, This was the first mac i ever bought. Watching this i felt kinda emotional in a way. This machine was the first step in my transition from being an irresponsible child to being a music composer. Something I do for a living now. Only love for this machine.
Same. I bought it soon after I bought my first iPhone. Unfortunately mine got stolen and renters insurance replaced it with a unibody MacBook Pro
The iMac was also revolutionary when it came out way back in late 1998!
First mac I bought too. I had just started my career life.
I wonder if this baller in Brazil realizes that he made some kid in the US very happy today with his 3k purchase from 12 years ago.
That’s how destiny works, mate. Lol
Golden era of Apple. Loved that macOS intro :)
why golden era?
@@arthurgamerpro6585 This was the golden era of Apple, when Jobs was still CEO. Apple mainly focused on innovation and features. Now, Apple is taking good features away, and innovation is reversing. I used iPhone back about 6 years ago. IMO after the iPhone X, is when Apple lost innovation. That's why I switched to Samsung. Once Apple starts innovating, and add very useful features, I will consider another iPhone. Plus, you don't get that "perfect" Apple treatment anymore when you unbox a brand new product.
That MacBook Pro you are unboxing is the very first Apple MacBook Pro that I purchased. I'm now on my 6th MacBook Pro
God, forgive them. They don't know what they do!
Rich af nigga
Your 6th macbook pro? 🙂
@@HavenMarches Yes sir. I', waiting for the 16 inch M1 or whatever its called with the new silicon chip. That will be my next MacBook pro
@@johnk8091 Dang, I'm definitely a Windows guy but I can respect that. What happens to your previous macbooks?
I loaded Mavericks on my early 08 15 and it's more than useful still. I'm watching this in 1080p, on battery, with the brightness all the way up, and it's not even flenching. I'd rather use this, vs a 2020 chromebook.
That Styrofoam is really where they got the design for the new cheese grater Mac Pro
Chuti duw ge bn
Honestly, that webcam is just as good as the 2020 MacBook Air’s!!!!
Same with every laptop in 2020. Haha. It just shows how low of a priority it is in everyday use and even if it is, it’s just used for zoom meetings with colleagues and FaceTime.
Low resolution, choppy framerates galore!
@@lukedstaten except Microsoft surface products
@@nad1ax2 nah too unrealistic
Unboxings of this specific computer were some of the first tech videos I watched on RUclips. I don’t know if this is an official series, but I love this collection of opening-old-things videos. 👍
The title typos are spectacular.

22:22 Yeah... Switch!
4k video quality is overrated...
That's not even a joke. When quality got upgraded on this cool website, called RUclips, the friendly vibe also disappeared. The last nail in the coffin of the older version was when they removed the "Broadcast Yourself" headline. It was a very community-centric place a few years ago. We had video responses and we could react to each other's content that way. Now it's a walled garden, that isn't about the people anymore.
@@etnevel.naitzsirk Agree
I used that exact MB Pro daily up until 2015, when the faulty Nvidia GPU died. It was quite a powerhouse, if it wasn't for the bad GPU, I would probably kept using it for another year and a half.
I bought it in 2009, for USD$850 in today's dollars. It was a great deal
9:25 HELLO from Brazil!!!
HUEHUE
E eu vi nos finger tips o selo da Anatel e tinha achado estranhos, segundos depois ele falou que era um Macbook "brasileiro"
muito bom!!!
top hehe
That was hilarious, going back to the future 🤣 cool tho
His reactions are priceless😂
He is just amazed by everything lol😂👍
He's like the male version of iJustine only maybe not as rich.
@@lhk7006 yes, so true
@@lhk7006 Well with the slight difference that he is no Apple shill like iGarbage is. If a product is not great he is saying it. She loses her shit over everything she receives for free.
Ahhhhh, man! I loved it Luke! This one was pretty special! Thanks so much for sharing. That old Macbook Pro couldn't have found a better home.
The MacBook Pro from 2008 still looks better than most of the windows laptops from 2021...
Luke tosses the pc and packaging to the side to adore the cleaning cloth... one of a kind my man.
Your face during the boot up screen was priceless 😂! That was amazing! Your joy was so pure.
You should do more iMovie ‘08 videos, that was absolutely glorious. Maybe a little series of reviews in that format? Could be fun!
Merry xmas to everyone
Hope you all have a great holiday 😇🎉
That iMovie scene was AWESOME! Bruh this feels nice
This is by far my favourite MacBook Pro model, the design is timeless and still holds up well today. Also, this video was really good and quite funny - keep it up!
Same here. Had a MacBook Pro from 2006 and bought a 15in one in early 2008. Solid design.
@@jamdiep99 my only problem with them is the faulty graphics cards, but otherwise they are brill
I'm watching this on that exact year/model laptop. Weird and cool at the same time. Waiting for 16" M1 to upgrade.
How’s safari holding up?
@@andrejzlall It's ok. Running El Capitan. Firefox a bit better. Chrome takes cpu hostage though
@@Alodri Interesting to read this. I have a 2008 MBP 17 and with the 6gb of memory it fixed most of my problems with Chrome. I prefer running videos on Opera. It’s very smooth for some reason. On El Capitan as well. I tried Mojave with dosdude tool. It worked but it’s working a little bit better with El Capitan. Did you make upgrades ?
@@Alodri keep the 2008 macbook pro since it might be worth alot in the future
Fun fact: one of my friends still using one of theese
Reminds me when plain rock edited his intro on a iMac g3
bro your editing an charisma has gotten so freaking good and I love it
That 2008 style review bit was so good!! And yes, you need to fully make the switch , for posterity of course
apart from the bit where he said "LIKE and subscribe", which should have been "rate 5 stars and subscribe"!
20:10 reveiw by Cool Luke
21:31 Youtub!
21:43 Subtitle Text Here
What a trip down Memory Lane! The Early 2008 MBP (albeit in the lower spec’ed variant) was my first Mac ever. So cool to see the whole experience of unboxing it for the first time again. Let me go and hit that “Subscribe” button.
12:54 if you want to have a little ASMR
The video quality is superb. Did he get a new camera?
I got hysterical with the review! Genius! Absolute Genius!
When you’re so early you can make the number of likes go up.
Okay, I also have a MacBookPro just like this one. It is an A1226 from early 2008, and I have had it for years. I have also upgraded it over the years and it is now max-ed out for peak performance. I have a 500GB SSD in it, a full complement of 6GB RAM, and fully loaded with every app I could possibly run, including the complete CS6 extended, full Microsoft Office for MAC, Google Earth, iTunes, iPhoto, etc. etc. . My DVD player still works. I can plug in headphones. Can go wireless or use an ethernet cable. I have been running MAX OSX Yosemite without a hitch for years with excellent speed. The only thing I had to change was one internal cooling fan, and a battery --- and this is over the span of 12+ years.
This model was also the very last one before the Unibody was introduced ( so just like the one is this video).
I am still running all Adobe apps on it without any special licensing. Also all Microsoft Apps, including MS Word, without any subscription fees either.
This MacBook Pro has been an absolute workhorse for me ---- and I am a real horseman so understand that term well. I highly recommend this kind of MacBook as you can keep it running forever and only have some limitations when it comes to streaming or gaming. But since I don't use my MacBook for either of these things I have been very satisfied.
I also have 2 other MacBooks, both A1286's... to me, the best ever MacBookPro's ever made ---- but my 1226A from 2008 is right up there with them.
I am a professional graphics artist and have done endless projects on this MacBookPro on Adobe CS6 extended, without ever having to consider upgrading to Creative Cloud.
Last word: If Steve Jobs was still alive he would not countenance the new Apple MacBooks that have no way for anyone to upgrade or modify their components ---- like adding a new SSD hard drive, or adding in additional RAM sticks.
As you may have guessed... I am a big time MacUser here, age 71, and still loving my old Macs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Luke you are not alone.
Im literally crying lol !!! Great trip down memory lane!
I got out my early 2008 Macbook 15 inch just to watch this!
Where is the butter knife tho 🍴
14:00 is when he actually opens it... thank me later
tbh i like listening to luke as much as the actual unboxing
I currently using 2014 rMBP and this is my first MacBook Pro that I ever own and use, I miss this design so much!
Here before this video become popular! ✌️
This one was a bit on the over dramatic side… 😂 OH SHIT A BRAND NEW CHARGER!! Well, makes sense as the whole thing was brand new. Super interesting video, but the dramatic air was killing me. 😂🤣😂
Core 2 duo could still make an interesting Linux box
The MacBook pro: Get off the product line saying goodbye to iPhone one fellas, and sealed in the box.
Also the MacBook Pro: first load after years into the browser.
IT IS IPHONE 12 NOW?
ÉÉÉÉÉÉ DO BRASILLLLL!
CISA TRADING era a importadora da Apple aqui né? Hahah
Quem vendeu deve ta rico kkkk
why do you say "the first time in 12 years"???? its the first time ever!!!!!
