I still use this. Runs Faster than my old white one, jumps higher, and charges up in 5 seconds off either KFC, watermelon, grape juice, or any combination of those. Oh yeah, the speakers are the best for rap. The white one was only good for Tegan And Sara.
I own the early 2008 Black MacBook like this, even in 2014 it's still great. Plenty of love and in fact Snow Leopard works wicked on these and it looks professional without the professional dollars!
hehe i got my macbook at around the same time (in august). i went with the white one (2.4ghz, 250gb hdd, 2gb ram). it was my first mac as well. hands down the greatest piece of technology i've ever touched. there's alot of notebooks on the market in the price range that the macbook is at. . . but i seriously couldn't have been happier that i decided to go with this mac. just an amazing machine, that still 4 months later impresses the hell out of me on a daily basis. soooo thin and light :D.
I really miss that old start up:( It was so different from anything else, not sure why Apple got rid of it. Anyways thanks for this video, this Mac is by far my most favorite computer Apple has made(: So if by chance you read this can you answer me one question? Do you still have this macbook? If so how well has it held up?
i dont know why people say that you should wait for the new macbook, HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE TAG ON THOSE? there is a very valid point as to why people get/want these macbook whites/blacks, cos they are brilliant machines at a cheaper price.
The black MacBook was my first Mac! Now my fiancé uses it instead of her toshiba. I have a MacBook Pro now, and the black MacBook still runs great now! I think his is customized with 4 GB ram because my macbook came standard with 1 GB ram.
It's incredible how these machines from 2010 run modern Mac OS X pretty well. Shows how optimized Mac OS X is for slower systems. That's how they get away with weak systems.
It may be a $1000 laptop but I remember the older MacBook's (white and black) being sold for $1100-1200 when I went to America in 2008. If I wanted a lower priced MacBook, I would buy a 2010 MacBook Pro as you can pick one up for about $600-700 and they normally come with OS X 10.8 and Office if you're lucky. Apple's current design ethos is aluminum and glass so it wouldn't seem right to use cheaper materials and less powerful hardware.
great! Since my original comment I have built a windows desktop for gaming, but I will say that the Macbooks are great for email, notes, and internet browsing. If only they didnt get so hot :(
@Estevan4Life uhm..i dont think it was limited edition. it was in their line of macbooks. i jjust wanted to know why they cancled it out. that's all :)
I am 12 and on November 13 I am turning 13 and my dad is coming back from Vegas he lives. I live in San Diego. He comes back the 17th and is giving me this MacBook I have wanted for years so many years. Is it still good? What's the highest it will run? Can it run Windows 8? Thank you for the reply when it comes.
Guys, you can easily run Windows 10 on it and it will be really fast. The 8-Bit Guy tried it with even an older Mac. And BTW, do you have it one year later?
Apple must have brought it back. When I talked to a employee they told me that Apple products such as the original MacBook Black aren't completely dead yet. My MacBook has OS X Lion and YES when I went into the Apple store the clerk went to the back brought out a nice medium sized MacBook Black out and for a good price fresh as ever! MacBook is not exstinct I will tell u something that is an "ibook" is not MacBook.
Man, I want to buy one of these but eBay is waaay to expensive. I don't know where to buy them from, new/second hand, and not many sites ship to Australia! Does the Apple Store still sell them, like have them in old stock?
Me: How did you get a Black MacBook
(Checks When Uploaded)
Holy shit, this video is surprisingly good for the time (2008)

fun to watch this in 2018. lol...
Everything about this video is just... yes!
The new ones are more expensive so he got a steal.

im gettin 1 for christmas man i cant wait!! tell me how it is
AND I'm watching this video on my late 2007 black macbook! :)

I have still mine till this time,i bought this on ebay ph last 2012.one of the greatest elite color of macbook,a limited edition of 2008
Nice unboxing, very good video. I've always wanted to see a black MacBook unboxing. Very nice vid :p
wow... 4 years later and my new macbook pro still has but 4GB of RAM... hows your mac doing these days?
Mac laptop processors are soldered to the motherboard. The only user upgradable parts are the RAM and the HDD.
Awesome video, dude. The MacBook is cool.
This would have been perfect had it had a glass trackpad like the white ones in 2009-2010
In an other video he said that this MacBook was stolen. Then I saw the other Video from him: He was unboxing the MacBook Aluminium
You had a pretty decent camera for 2008
i dont know why people say that you should wait for the new macbook, HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE TAG ON THOSE? there is a very valid point as to why people get/want these macbook whites/blacks, cos they are brilliant machines at a cheaper price.
cool, i have an aluminum one from this year, but these black ones are pretty nice looking
watching this on a BlackBook... that I got two days before you posted this video
let me guess, you'r recording this with blue macbook?
You must have the best video quality from 2008!
The black MacBook was my first Mac! Now my fiancé uses it instead of her toshiba. I have a MacBook Pro now, and the black MacBook still runs great now! I think his is customized with 4 GB ram because my macbook came standard with 1 GB ram.

Hey dude 2010? This MacBook was made in 2006 and this video was made in 2010
+LittleTuber Games/Dragon 2008 not 2010
This laptop was ahead of its time, I always wanted one, but I was like 16 at that time and I couldn't afford it :'(
It may be a $1000 laptop but I remember the older MacBook's (white and black) being sold for $1100-1200 when I went to America in 2008.

Gosh I miss those welcome screens!
Hows it holding up almost 15 years later?
oh, my goodness. i want to get two black and two white macbook pro 1st generation.
If you use the track/keyboard for along time it leaves a sign of usage.
Proud owner of mid-2009 and this is April 2019.. Still it looks like as if i bought it yesterday.. 😊 😊😊
great! Since my original comment I have built a windows desktop for gaming, but I will say that the Macbooks are great for email, notes, and internet browsing. If only they didnt get so hot :(
Wow 2008 and video quality is good
"let me get into a position thats not awkward" ... *sits like a chic*
Curious, you still using this computer? I have the same one and mine still runs like a champ.
RIGHT ON!!!
I still have my old Blackbook.
3:12 Expert right there.
lol. scissors , where did i put my scissors
I'm commenting from my Black MacBook right now.
you can get 4gb for half the price at any other place
I like the white one better but the black is still nice
my year 7 teacher used that white
version in 2013.
@Estevan4Life uhm..i dont think it was limited edition. it was in their line of macbooks. i jjust wanted to know why they cancled it out. that's all :)
I have that black one and its melting, has green spots only visible in the sun.
Круто, первый раз вижу черный MacBook
Except for the newer Airs and Pros. Neither the RAM or HDD is upgradable.
that was a realy nice vid im getting a macbook soon......... And i posted this with my iPod tuch
I remember when I opened my macbook pro... I was so excited!
well the new ones are way better as far as performance goes.
it was almost a disaster with those scissors my friend...
oh is that what that brown thing was? I didn't know it was a cardboard box O.o
im on my new macbook right now same as urs. just opened it today
isnt that the same specs as the macbook pro 13?
Same, but I upgraded from 2GB to 4GB (MBP 4,1 Pre-Unibody)
I love macs and this one
I am 12 and on November 13 I am turning 13 and my dad is coming back from Vegas he lives. I live in San Diego. He comes back the 17th and is giving me this MacBook I have wanted for years so many years. Is it still good? What's the highest it will run? Can it run Windows 8? Thank you for the reply when it comes.
I would not try running windows 8 on this because of how many problems you'll run into with bootcamp on a laptop this old.
its not a windows laptop, and its old, its apple
Guys, you can easily run Windows 10 on it and it will be really fast. The 8-Bit Guy tried it with even an older Mac. And BTW, do you have it one year later?
why don't they make a black version anymore? someone tell meee
at 5:20, all his awkwardness makes sense.
I still use my white version of this In 2020
I still use the black one dude
I want one cant wait to get my own but right now I'm working on making a monster super gaming computer still a working progress
I was so hoping he opened it and it was white
they should make a black macbook pro
why dont they make black macbooks anymore :(
still functional and "quick"-ish for general computing?
? I'm running parallels for windows xp, I kinda thought I needed it.
weird how even the packaging looks outdated.
hey, i have that same bed sheet set..
:D
Dude, don't use the word sexy when you seating on your bed and holding a MacBook, people will have start having wrong thoughts. ;)
how do you like your macbook?
But, that's what the MacBook Air is for...
I gots mine from apple a month ago! It ROCKS
Oreo Macbook DAMN
HPNC TUTORIALS xD

Good old days first bootup welcome video haha
it would be funny and sad if he accidently droped it when u took it out to show us
@SOUTHWESTENZ i know, it pisses me off, i upgraded my black Macbook to a 2010 13" Macbook Pro and the only difference was the DDR2 Vs. the DDR3
HOW??? ISNT IT EXTINCT NOW?
Ha is so excited cant you tell
I like the classic white ones better ;D

@Brennonicolini Yeah, you can get them used on eBay.
Apple must have brought it back. When I talked to a employee they told me that Apple products such as the original MacBook Black aren't completely dead yet. My MacBook has OS X Lion and YES when I went into the Apple store the clerk went to the back brought out a nice medium sized MacBook Black out and for a good price fresh as ever! MacBook is not exstinct I will tell u something that is an "ibook" is not MacBook.

Hey, i got the same black macbook like yours!

Is it good for playing games?
Man, I want to buy one of these but eBay is waaay to expensive. I don't know where to buy them from, new/second hand, and not many sites ship to Australia!
Does the Apple Store still sell them, like have them in old stock?
