cannot believe u got unseal one instead scam
How did you get it? Im looking for the same thing!
can you do a video about the Powerbook G4 ?
Nice video bro ! I liked it ! By the way I am using the app ENDURANCE to bring back the energy saving mode to my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020 intel 10th gen ! It prevents turbo boost which is amazing !
I regret giving away my LCII and Pismo G3 (cry cry)

Interesting! Watching this makes me feel pre-historic. I still remember when my parents bought our first tv-set in 1959.
Damn. My dad remembers when they got their first TV in 1975.

@@RandomAwesomeism Then Apple products are not the right thing for those people. Sad and simple as that.
This was my father's first macbook and he got it for christmas, i still remember the intro when you first open it up and how amazed i was. He used it for a few years and gave it to me and i used till 2017 through college when it eventually died and i got a new one. Watching this definitely gave me a huuuuge nostalgia feeling

Do not EVER delete this video. This is a time capsule, thank you for sharing it with us.
Why would he delete the video
Well actually since RUclips is around for longer, you can find original unboxing videos from 2008 of you’re interested
If you want a time capsule of this look up 2008 macbook unboxing from 2008...
Can you imagine opening a brand new MacBook back in 2008? Must've been so awesome.
i did and it was the best feeling in the world; and from where i'm from at the time ; no one knows anything about Apple and Unix operating systems ; all they know is the ipod and iphone was still at its infancy
I'm still using my 2007 2 2ghz refurb. It's on it's 3rd battery and I've maxed it out to 6gb RAM. I've recently serviced it by replacing both fans and cleaning out the interior from an absolutely amazing amount of dust - the heat exchanger was caked in gunk too. With new thermal paste it's working fine again and I reckon I'll be doing an SSD upgrade next.
Apple 2007: gives dongles for free
Apple 2020: rumoured to not include even a charger with iphone.
Nintendo 2015: doesn't include a charger in the box of the new 3ds
& Apple 2035 doesn't include charger nor Macbook there will be only booklet saying "designed by Apple in California" Cost: 8000€ for entry model. You can choose from 5 up to whole 10 pages! 10 pages of Apple awesomeness! Optionally you can order version that smells like if there was Macbook inside!
Apple 2025: ships you an empty box with stickers
@@MXCN_El1011 Gotta have the stickers. It's ALL about the stickers!!! :-D
The more significant change for me is that with the 2007 MacBooks you can actually replace the battery really easily....try doing that on a current MacBook Pro or air.....😒😞😩
Last time I was this early, Apple had just announced they were switching processors...to PowerPC
Damn PowerPC CPUs are older than me
@@alexmaldonado2804 they are also older that most of the demographic on RUclips.
Now I feel old. I was 6 years old *and one day* when the original Macintosh came out. I have to keep reminding myself that old Macs used Motorola 68K processors for *less* time than they ended up using either PowerPC or Intel ones. I never had one, though, and only ever used 68K Macs a couple of times at school - in the UK they were not as common as PCs in education. I did have a Commodore Amiga, which used the same CPU, but everything else about it was different. I recently bought a PowerBook G4 and I love it, though even with TenFourFox it is *no* use for browsing the web.
@@jeffreyjoshuarollin9554 thats cool, seeing a company change their processor 3 times, i wish i could have the same experience as you.
@@ireallydontknowifiamhonest I only watch RUclips for TV these days and I'm 50.

Newer subscriber to this channel here. This was such a joy to watch. I bought one of these 17” MBP brand new back in the day and used it as my daily driver for years. I also got goose bumps when the MacOS intro video started to play. Thank for the trip down memory lane Luke!

That os x introduction video is the most mid 2000's thing I've ever seen.
My first Apple laptop was the 12” PowerBook G4. Thank you 🙏 Luke for this amazing video. I always wanted the 17” and to see this old non-unibody unit unboxed for the first time…wow, such a special treat!
I had the 15 inch!
This was very very fun to watch. I was smiling a lot seeing you get so excited about this
11:17 - Man wish they did that with the new macs. Really really cool welcoming screen
Agreed! Only Steve Jobs would make that happen. Unfortunately.
The new iPhone is likely to not even come with a charger!!
That says a-lot about Apple.

Oh, man, I remember that welcome video! Been *YEARS* since I've seen that! Nostalgia, baby! ;-)
My first Mac was an Apple IIc in 1984! I was 9 at the time, and I was the one that set it all up! Mom Mom and Dad were floored. Cute fact: My Mom and Dad always worked so hard to give us the things they thought we needed or wanted, but couldn't always do so, because they weren't independently wealthy. But, at a parent-teacher conference, my teach told my folks that I had an affinity for computers and recommended that, if it were doable, they get me an Apple computer. They got the computer, monitor, printer...I know there was more, but they got the whole setup. And I was in love. I have never purchased a non-Apple computer in my life, and I doubt I will at this point. Thanks for the bit of nostalgia, Luke 👏👏👏
Seeing an unboxing of a brand new, sealed MacBook of that age is just soooooooo satisfying.
But it was refurbished so technically not brand new🤷🏻♂️
C L18 0:50 It's not like I'm unaware of it being refurbished, and not brand new. The box even had giant Certified Reconditioned label on it the whole time. I even bought a lot of refurbished products over the years, so I would definitely know what refurbished means. You're clearly missing the point of my comment about my appreciation of opening an item in such pristine condition, which is basically the point of this video.
Ryan Indeed, seeing a computer of that age in that condition is very satisfying, know that most of them are in bad shape. Apple refurbished is essential get a new computer: your getting a new exterior body and new accessories, you might a battery with a few battery cycles. But overall a great computer.
If only it was actually new.
You should have slipped in a clip of the old “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” ad!
Priceless!
The first Mac I got to unbox was a IIci in 1989. It had a whopping 12 MB of RAM and 80 MB hard drive and set me off on the path of graphic design that I am still doing today. I’ve lost track of how many Macs I have opened over the years, but it is still a thrill 😁
how amazing is that welcome scene,wish that comes back
Beautiful MacBook Pro. Almost jump off my bed for that OS X intro!
I really wish they would bring an intro back.... it made getting a new machine an event
@@dukeseb That nostalgia feeling
@@Mrwhosethesus you can actually download the intro video..... I feel like someone needs to do that and update it
@@dukeseb I have all of them.
I got my first ever Mac in 2007, it was an iMac 24" and when that intro for OSx Leopard came on for the first time it just made that whole experience of owning a Mac and switching from windows that much more special. Now booting up a Mac for the first time is like booking up any other kind of computer, that special moment isn't there anymore. I wish they would do the intros again
the best part of this vid was really just luke's kid-on-christmas joy
Yeah, so fake 🙄
I'd have been the same. Didn't seem fake. He was likely restraining himself, lol.
Yeah that's called over acting
Which seems fake. Lol bad acting....
It is what an unboxing is about : overreact.
Just came upon your channel. So glad I did, because I’ve never enjoyed an unboxing video more than this one. I had goosebumps just watching it. Not to mention the memories I have of older MacBooks. Thanks so much. Great job!
I remember this MacBook. My friend used to own one. He had a MacBook and an iPod and Sony PSP. A proper rich kid. I haven't seen him 10 years.
😂😂
apple should return the music and vibe when you open your new mac. I love it
NRG we are on top of innovation, not just apple, every company is stuck with tecnology. Maybe graphene could be the next revolution. We will see.
Apparently they are on the big surr update
Steve was the GOAT when it came to product design even today the laptop looks very modern.
This was wonderful to watch. I really enjoyed the unveiling and reveal - I was like kid watching a kid having so much fun. My first Mac was the SeX 68030 , and it changed my life. Probably couldn't have completed graduate school without this beautiful Mac machine. Apple continues to be my foundation for all things computing. Anyway, keep up the great work, love your station, and I enjoy all your RUclipss.
What?
What?
It only feels good to see such products! Who doesn't want a new iphone and a new MacBook after every release?
“its so amazing to see something old” me with a 2009 macbook : are you “f***ing serious 😂

The bezels on this laptop are thinner than recent high end laptops! Crayzy
Well the super old macs were missing so many functions
uh, no?
Um modern high end laptops have pretty slim bezels nowadays, even on all four sides. You mean some cheap laptops which is yeah, they still do.
Ah the days when apple used to give you more in the box. Nowadays it’s just the product itself and if you’re lucky, one charger cable
This exact model was my first Mac and I absolutely loved it! Awesome video, sorry I didn't watch this sooner. Thoroughly enjoyed this with you Luke :D
We need to bring back the intro video from the Mac OS X. It gets you excited when you open your computer.
“This is the same camera they ship on Macs these days”
2020 iMac: Hold my beer
My god the 2020 MacBook Air “hd camera “ literally SUCKS
The fact that they improved the camera slightly after 10+ years is nothing to brag about, it’s actually pretty embarrassing. They should’ve done it way sooner and now that they’ve done it they didn’t even do a good job.
Your retro-enthusiasm has awoken the Mac monster in me!
Crazy how they went back to utilize this design for the new 2021 model’s !
I miss leopard :( actually snow leopard was my favorite :(
Tiger will always be the Disney Princess of operating systems for me. Never had an OS as stable as the Tiger install on my old QuickSilver G4.
I still have that QuickSilver G4, and it still runs (Leopard) like a champ.
Snow leopard was so clutch
Tiger was the bomb. it was fast , responsive super stable and that spotlight tho.. 🙌🏻
@@javieroargubi Seriously! Before Tiger, my OSX experience was all from the painful experience of trying to use 10.2.8 on a Blue and White G3: an experience that had turned me into an OSX hater who planned to dwell in OS9 until the bitter end. 10.4 showed me that OSX was actually an amazing platform, especially with how well it ran on my already aged G3 hardware.
Derision667 OSX tiger showed the world full featured OS can be run with low spec computer with blazing fast performance. imagine tiger with SSD, man..
11:19 pause at that frame
Revelation time!
The humor is so great Imao. Keep up the quality of your videos and personal uniqueness of yourself, and keep doing what YOU love. It goes a long way! Even if RUclips’s crummy tiring unfair trendy clout dumb algorithm doesn’t like it, only you can be y o u. No one can better that. Awesome video lol
This was my first Mac laptop! I bought mine in late 2007, it was a 17" pre-unibody. I remember opening it up and its beautiful. I still have it, though its a little beat up and the batter is dead but I still use it on occasion for music production. So cool you could get your hands on this
earliest I've ever been, hellooo and ty for the vids, binge watch a lot haha!
Ok
South-Pokey good one.
When the bezels on the MacBook Pro are more thinner then the ones on my 2015 12 inch MacBook
The nostalgia this gives me is REAL.
I bought one of those in 2007, it was a blast to watch the unwrapping and booting up again. Thanks

@I HATE BRICK HILL and? Nobody's playing steam games on Macs, and the Windows 7 was better than 10, even prettier.
The Classic Welcome Screen got me Excited and remembered my First Black Plastic Macbook back in 2009.
My first Mac was this 17 inch pre-unibody MacBook Pro, with a lower screen resolution (1680*1050). It cost me a whole year's salary. That's why I almost burst into tears when I saw the new 16 inch MacBook Pro.
"its smells new" me: A N T H R A X
Anthrax vaccine :)
Watching unboxing old sealed products are cool
This takes me back to watching unboxing videos of the new MBP, I’ve just purchased an M1 MBP today. The disappointment that I won’t get the classic OS X video when starting it up is real. I wish it could give you that option when you start it. So cool, subbed and hope you do more similar videos. Very surreal as you explained but, so so cool!
When the laptop first booted up and the little welcome video started playing I got chills. Takes me back to when my family got our first Mac (2007 intel imac 20”) I was so excited and now nearing my 30’s I’ve never owned a windows machine of my own and it was solely because of that machine. My parents still have it and use it to this day.
Ahhhh 😭😭😭 this is why I love the early 2000’s that freaking intro video 😢
When i was in secondary school in 2012, I studied Music and we used to have these 2008 Mac’s for GarageBand and Logic in class. They still had the same macs up until I graduated, haha. It’s cool seeing them brand new !
Man I relate so much to you right now, I have a closet stash of every Apple product I’ve ever owned/have been able to acquire for family members and I’m just waiting for the day when I just feel the urge to actually boot them up again
My first MacBook was back in 2007, It was the white polycarbonate. I was 17 at the time and my mom purchased it for me from Best Buy for a Christmas present. I used and loved it for 5 years and sold it to a friend. Last week I purchased the same model that looks just like it. Working on getting it cleaned and running again.
Great video! Hope to see more like this!
You look like young Sheldon growing up to be Macbook lover over pc!
THIS WAS SUCH A TREAT GETTING TO SEE THIS AND WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS!! THANK YOU!!
This bring back old memories! I got into Mac when watching MacBook unboxing back in 07!
More than 10 years later and it still looks gorgeous in your desk!
That was my first laptop... got me through filmschool. I always kept it in a case, it's still really clean and it still works. The thing is a workhorse! I loved that thing
Nice
Man... I used to own one of these magnificent creatures, really a beautiful design and i loved the big screen!!! Held me up until 2017... I still miss it sometimes.
Still looks great to this day, and that welcome video gave me chills
Just a acquired a 2006 17" today. Not quite new but in supreme condition! Keeping it as is and loving the nostalgia
“They crunch when you type” I know exactly what he’s talking about.😂
I'm a sucker for time capsules like this. I really enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing your experience with this. This really makes me miss the old days sometimes. I used to get really excited handling computers like these. There was something magical about them. That old OS X intro really brought me back too. I just love that. Side note: $420, blaze it.
Got so excited as you!!! That start up when you opened it though... nostalgic!!!!
THAT WELCOME SCREEN SO SATISFYING AND PROMISING 😭😍
I'm a fairly new Mac enthusiast and when I saw your reaction after powering on that system I could almost feel it just like you. There's something gratifying about opening Mac products for the first time, I get it.
14:22 When macs where in there prime
That welcome intro OMG that hit me hard, I remember I had a MacBook at 11, that I begged my parents for! It was one of the greatest decisions they made. I learned how to type so fast and I learned how to develop, code, hack etc.
In 2007 I was smoking weed and watching Zeitgeist documentaries. Now 13 years later I'm watching the Zeitgeist documentaries come to life.
That's stunning! I remember lusting over these MacBook Pros when I was younger.
Me too, but with the 15 inch models. I did eventually get a 2012 MBP 15 later on, though, before I eventually sold it off.
11:50 the most satisfying transition...missing my 2008 MacBook right now
I bought the same exact machine in 2008, but with the 2,5Ghz option. It was the first Apple product EVER I bought and it was astonishing! I still remember having tha machine on the desk beside the old Windows laptop and it was incredibly on a complete another level: the screen, the sound, teh operative system, the user friendly interface, everything was different and better.
Long story short, I kept using it - with minor improvments - until 2017, when the mother board and the graphic card broke down and it was quite impossible and too expensive to repair it. As per today Istill think it was the best model of MacBookPro ever, and the glossy 17inches monitor was crazy!
Great video, so many memories brought back to the surface! Thanks!
This is just so cool. One of my fav vids you have made 100%
The 17" was such a dream for 13 year old me, although we did end up getting the '07 aluminium iMac which was nice too
ah yes, this takes me way back......... to May when I unboxed my 16 inch MacBook Pro
Hey Luke, that was awesome video. Thanks so much dude.
@11:18 see me jamming out to the old school welcome music..ahhh, memories!!! really enjoyed this video😁
Watching this video on my 2020 MacBook Pro. Man, it's apparent that we've come SO FAR in tech in just 13 years...
