    Apple is often criticized for overcharging when it comes to hardware. When it comes to mobile devices, they typically make well by offering many years of free updates to iOS. On the Mac, however, most machines enter un-supported vintage status after just 6 years. In Windows land, there are computers many years older running the latest build of Windows 10. But what if you could use the same method that Hackintosh computers use to run a vintage Mac on the latest-and-greatest macOS Mojave and later? Well, turns out you can.

      @mrhats830 5 лет назад +6

      Hi Luke, I follow you on your channel as well...The problem with your comment about buying a used mac (which I do) is that Apple is now soldering everything to the motherboard which means theres no future upgradability on them. This is why, every time Apple starts boasting about how "Green" they are, I simply laugh at their hypocrisy since you are now, basically forced to upgrade to a New system in order to stay up to date. I just bought a 2015 Macbook Air which allowed me to upgrade it to a 1 TB SSD. The current Macbooks (New Air, Pro, and 12" Macbook) do not allow this at all.

    • @lukemiani
      @lukemiani 5 лет назад +6

      @@mrhats830 While you're right and that does impact upgradability, recent Macs last a lot longer than they used to, even without the ability to upgrade. The mid 2000s Macs were short lived compared to the last ten years or so. Even if you can't upgrade, using them for longer reduces waste

    The Lenovo Thinkpad T480 has 2 batteries, 1 internal and 1 removable. When you run out on the external, you take it out and the power is transferred to the internal battery. Then you put in another external battery and the laptop runs off that. No closing the lid required.

    before any of us had macs, my mom would constantly buy passable pcs ..they’d last a couple years and then be replaced
    but i do remember she once looked at the classic, white plastic macbooks around 2010 - she loved the aesthetic
    a couple years ago when i first got a job and suddenly had a bit of money to my name i stumbled upon a series of refurbished macbooks
    so i got her one for her birthday 😊 she was pretty blown away
    admittedly it is a little slow and she does t use it much - stuck to her iPad; which to be fair, is all she really needs
    but i wonder how hard it would be to replace and update the memory and maybe the storage 🤔

      @@-eMpTy- Windows 8 and 8.1 were ugly as sin, but they were actually by far the most stable Windows OS I had ever worked with. Conversely, Windows 10 is the least stable I've ever worked with, even less so than my experiences with Windows ME and XP. And these negative experiences with Windows 10 aren't isolated -- they span across OEM laptops, OEM desktops, and a custom computer I built for gaming. The forced updates (that only allow for temporary deferral and don't allow themselves to be deleted) have resulted in corrupted/failing updates to continuously try over and over again, making for unnecessary *daily* reboots on afflicted PCs; this issue hitting my custom build in particular especially hard as it had one quality-of-life update for build 1709 stuck in a daily restart attempt-fail loop that caused my PC to refuse to update to 1803 unless that QOL update finished first. Win10 never let me delete that QOL update while it was in its attempt-fail cycle, and it didn't delete itself until 94 failed attempts, THREE MONTHS after build 1803's release...
      I had inconsequential little updates in Windows 8/8.1 end up in a looping attempt-fail cycle once or twice a year, but removing problematic updates was as swift and painless on 8/8.1 as it was in 7. 10's way of updating, on the other hand, is like a hostage situation unless you pirate LTSB edition or go through the agonizing hell of messing with the Group Policy Editor in Home/Pro editions (which is something I still can't get past roadblocks in after more than 3 years with Windows 10)

      Shortsighted greed.

    Thank you so much for this tip. I'm still using my Macbook late 2018 daily. One thing you missed; the can upgrade the RAM above the Apple recommended specs. For the correct information; use MacTracker (OSX app), and upgrade your Mac to 8 gigs of RAM. I'm gonna use my Macbook late 2008 for the rest of 2019 for sure, and with this tip it gets easier to install latest Adobe or other software. Thanks Snazzy Labs. If the quality of the Macbooks was as oldschool as those Mac's, I've would have upgraded way earlier.

    I just installed mojave on my 2011 imac and it runs pretty damn good, except that you can tell there is no hardware acceleration with the graphics. still though, it looks pretty good, and its running pretty fast. i also reused the exact same solid state drive that was used in this video (samsung 1tb 860 evo) and it runs great. hesitant to try running catalina though.. don't think the speeds will be very good on it!

    • @Zebra_Paw
      @Zebra_Paw 2 года назад +3

      If you don't have acceleration is horrible!
      That's because of what GPU your machine has, and the patcher web page tells you about this. Unfortunately, you are stuck to High Sierra, unless you put a supported GPU in your machine.
      If you can find one that supports Metal and is supported natively in Mojave and Catalina, it's even better!
      It means you can easily patch to the latest version of macOS!

    I think giving older notebooks a new lease of life should be much more common. I just revived an old HP EliteBook 9470M and it's still a very good notebook. Sure, not FullHD screen and there is some wear and tear, but it's light, the hardware is easily good enough for 95% of your daily tasks and it was dirt cheap. And I think it's a very rewarding feeling when you've just successfully breathed new life into a computer way outside of its intended lifespan with very little money. You save money, save e-waste and actually get to work on computers, which is always fun.
