I'm very impressed with how you disseminate information about Apple Macs its so refreshingly interesting and inspiring.. I've been burned a couple of times with an Apple Mac Pro and Apple MacBook Pro. The fact you can upgrade these computers with up-to-date stuff amazes me..
A MacBook Pro from 2015 would be great to see like this one!
I learned a lot. Like this live presentation.

I did this with my Mac book pro 2009 and is super fast adding the memory. The heat and noise was reduced but still heats up.

Update: Apple has not failed me yet my MacBook Pro 2009 livessss and was able to put lates version Catalina 😎
And did you know that one layer of yellow J-cloth over all the intake vents will prevent 99.9% of all dust from getting inside the computer. Now this works particularly well on desktops and should work equally well on laptops. ONE layer of YELLOW J-Cloth as a dust filter and does not in any way interfere with ventilation or airflow. Food for thought. I have had my desktops filtered this way for years. About once a year I look inside and not a spec of dust to be found... so I know how well this works. #ThinkAboutThat
what's J-cloth and why yellow?
It will very quickly clog up and need replacing or cleaning.
@@philhunt1442 Some different densities of the cloth. I am most used to yellow J-cloth, so it's the one color and density I recommend. Others would probably work just as well, as long as YOU can breathe throw the cloth then the computer should be able to breath as well. Anyway this works for me on a desktop computer, I have no idea if it will work on a laptop. I wouldn't have one of those if they gave me one FREE. Want to know why? Ask Louis Rossman. (grins)
@@eWhizz You only need to run a vacuum over the outside of the cloth once in a while to free up the pores in the cloth. Then maybe once or twice a year remove the cloth and wash it then replace it. This is what I do, and I do NOT have dust inside my DESKTOP computer. It works for me.
Sounds like a good idea for a desktop, but somewhat unpractical for a laptop
Hey Luke, love your videos, one thing I wanted to suggest, to use vacuum with a brush, it will make the cleaning so much smoother and you won’t have dust all over. Just a thought.
Same
exactly. I keep my mini shop vac going above sucks everything right into it
that wouldn’t work for a livestream though (since those are very loud)
That’s true..
Oh man, I had this machine... Loved it while it lasted, died WAY too soon. Watching your videos certainly wish I had held on to it and tried to fix it/ get it fixed.

I used that exact MacBook Pro with the same specifications with the Catalina patcher until just last month when I got an M1 MacBook air
Q: What spray do you use for cleaning the computer out? Next question, where did you get the dusting pen from? And the final question, what did you use to clean off your CPUs? Thanks a bunch for your help!!!
Hellooo~ I just read your comment, and hope I still got to help you.
The spray that Luke used was just a liquid cleaner for electronic devices, the dusting pen is an oxo's Good Grips electronic cleaning brush, and what he used to clean the thermal paste from the CPU was isopropyl alcohol; a type of alcohol that is good for cleaning electronic parts because it evaporates pretty fast and doesn't leave liquid residuals, the alcohol is sprayed on a microfiber towel.
I think all those products can be bought on electronic stores like Best buy or by Amazon.
Macbooks were made to run on battery, they run slower from the wall plug!
I was given a late 2008 MacBook last month. It already had a 256 ssd but I upgraded the ram to 8g. I use it to run Serato DJ Pro and runs flawless. I run Catalina on my 2015 MacBook Pro how did you get Catalina on this machine? I’m running Yosemite on my 2008
Any suggestion about upgrading a MacBook Pro early 2011 i7 2.0 with a Optical Drive Bay M.2 NGFF SSD Caddy to 9.5mm SATA Tray??
I'm very curious how catalina runs on that machine, Im contemplating using the patch for my macbook but i don't have a start up disc for Yosemite just in case it does not work. I'm new to messing with these machines...lol
hehe, I like Kos's comment in the superchat, "I wish the MacBook Pro has a super beast of a processor. I am getting tired of overheating low efficiency intel processors"
looks like his wish finally came true.
MacBooks from this Era are more repairable than some Windows laptops of their time.
In an alternate universe there is a guy on RUclips called Puke Peeonmi who makes videos about Crapbooks
I got a 13 2015-2017 MacBooks that I’m planning to fix.

Hey Luke, could you point to a video of yours, if you have it on the best way to sell your mac on eBay. You got me started upgrading a 4,1 and mine now screams but need to sell it. I am afraid to sell it without seeing the best way to do so. THANKS if you see this!!!
...the height of recursion...1080p video of 1080p video of 1080p video of...you get the picture (literally)...
Luke could you please make a video about a MacBook pro 2012/2013 teardown and rebuild if possible if you have not already made one if so could you reply with the link to it if you have please much appreciated if you read this thank you.
Interesting to see all MacBooks save dust too bad it doesn’t have filters like a dryer
I need help with replacing the battery. It's already a replacement and only took 3mos and it's bad again.
Where do we buy true genuine battery for mbpro A1502?
can we wash the heat sink using water?

@@immacandytv what kind of macbook?
I have a 2007 iMac that is in great physical condition but Apples not giving it anymore software upgrades, how can I upgrade to Catalina, anyone can guide me through the process?
If your iMac can run El Cap, chances are you can use dosdude1's patcher to run Catalina.

Luke, I have a 2019 MacBook Air that had a coffee dumped on it. Apple wants $800 to fix it. We are going to get a new one. Screen still comes on. What should I do with it? From watching your videos I can see that I could part it out and sell what works. Is there a company that could fix it for less? Please help.

I'm a beginner; this is so so helpful!
Apple should hire you to be “Apple Fellow”.
I would always run Mojave on this older machines since you can still use 32 Bit Apps and MacOS Extended as your Filesystem which makes the bootup time shorter because it doesn’t need to run the patch stuff

Luke I just bought macbook pro mid 2012 in great condition, did some upgrade's, ssd and max ram, new battery, clean install, liquid metal on cpu, and overall cleaning.

That is my first macbook, and forgot to search for that, waiting for package with miniDP cable

I didn't know I could upgrade, the battery is almost dead, would that cause it to go slow? Waht can I upgrade to make it faster 16gb ram?
