So something that I've always been really interested in

I mean, when you look at a PC versus a Mac,

because even though the hardware is solid,

a lot of times the actual operating system,

the software support, doesn't last that long.

Case in point, take a look at a super old

of Windows 10 on it and it will work fine.

However when it comes to Mac hardware, usually you've got

six to eight years of support and that's it.

Now there are of course third party tools

to be able to side load, and kind of update

a bunch of the drivers to still technically

support a new operating system, but as far

as I'm concerned, this is about the oldest Mac

which is still supported, which gave me an idea.

Now this is the 101 model, which was sold in Apple stores

This still has all the ports, it still has

Now based on the listing, this is not exactly

a Macbook which is actually still very usable even today.

Ah, yes, the good old days of MagSafe, when you didn't

have to kick your USBC cable across the room.

Alright, well, it's definitely been well used.

Okay, so the main problems here is that it's just dented,

It's certainly not a perfect looking Macbook,

What I wanna do is just see if I can actually get

a very usable Macbook, which is much much cheaper

this Macbook was sold in Apple stores for years and years

Now one of the big ones is the port selection.

USB 3.0, SD card reader, we've got MagSafe,

Open it up, and you'll see the same great

this guy is actually properly upgradable.

in great cosmetic shape, is still worth a full $240.

Well a big reason for that is that it is still upgradable.

I mean, it's still a Core i5, and especially

and an SSD and stuff, it could be a properly modern machine.

it's obviously much faster, much more modern,

I can't add more RAM, I can't upgrade the SSD,

which I can do anything with in the future,

which I think is going to hurt the resale,

whereas a lot of the older Macs, especially the ones

I mean that sounds good, although I don't know,

I guess the optical drive was doing something.

I wanna upgrade memory, I wanna upgrade SSD,

I wanna see what we can do about that DVD drive.

I legitimately think that by the end of this video,

Hopefully a computer which is powerful enough

to edit the video that I'm shooting right now,
