Exactly!! And if you are more willing to work, get a 2012 and you can out an NVME inside and fake a Fusion Drive

@@jacobestephotography I’m about to start on a “restoration” project with a 2009 21.5 inch iMac!

Epic! New ssd, faster ram, gpu (metal enabled) and open core makes SUCH a huge difference! Best of luck

Yep! I go into more detail in a different video

Thanks! It’s really funny actually. I put quite literally no planning into this video, unlike my previous ones that I actually script, so rather funny to see a view counter like this with absolutely minimal planning input. I recorded this because I was bored

I hear you. Sadly due to desk location I don’t have a lot of room for a tripod behind my desk. However I hope this wasn’t too much of a turn off and you stick around as my skills grow and mature.

Yes it was in the low 30’s F

I would submit to you that for technology, 11 years is quite a long time! That was the same time as the iPhone 4s, the original MacBook Air, iCloud was debuted at WWDC, and more. So yes, Nota Hero, i would say that as far as technology is concerned, 11 years ago is quite a long time, not as long as twenty years ago, but technology progresses much more quickly than many other aspects of the world. Thanks for watching!

@@jacobestephotography Oh I didn't watch your vid, your comments turned me off so I left my comment and moved on, again 2017 was to long ago haha.

Hahaha you’re not wrong on the music… that’s the issue with trying to use trending audio to boost views. Hope you like the pictures. I am working on a much longer video about old planes and have a source for pretty amazing old war audio and period music. Hang in there with me. It’ll get better I promise. Thanks for stopping by! 👍

I am currently working on a video where I will be showing its power, also if you watch a little further in the video I show the computer some, not as much as I should have, didn’t have a wide enough lens at the time, keep an eye out this next year for some videos about it

Hey, so I don’t think there is anyway to get 2023/2022 photoshop/ Lightroom on an unsupported Mac… there might be a way to do it via a virtual machine… I will look into it and get back to you.

@@jacobestephotography Thanks. I've just come across a video from Mr Macintosh showing how to install Big Sur on unsupported Mac's (including mid 2011)

@@jacobestephotography Big Sur is the minimum OS for Lightroom + Photoshop. Not sure if there would be any hardware issues.

@@jacobestephotography Here's the video. th-cam.com/video/flQRKWBKC60/w-d-xo.html

Yeah I personally have Monterey on my 2011 iMac but it’s not running too well, as the so thinks it’s running in a VM so none of those apps will work

No clue just an audio

Yeah that was a weird export issue, I’ll probably re render it with that fixed

Thanks…

Thanks

Thanks much!

Facts my guy! Once they realized how well lasting they made it they were like, oh crap! We won’t get money… quick make them literally irreparable, so they have to buy a new one to get it fixed!

@@jacobestephotography A huge mistake if you ask me. Instead of flooding the market with computers that newbies and the other 95% can afford, (which is the best advertisement they ever had), they're just making landfillers or recycled parts.

Yep… their profits go up, but no one can afford a $1099 notebook that is outperformed by a 2011 iMac or even a $600 MacBook from 2015… all in the name of technological advancement and “newness”

I did the exact same thing in lockdown plus a gpu upgrade to be metal compatible, had to replace the power supply and motherboard too which blew and nearly threw it out the window a few times after having to take it apart more times then I can count, but now it’s a fantastic machine! Still completely useable and fast!! All for under £300

We’re you able to upgrade to more current software? I wanted to do the gpu upgrade for that reason, but was out of my budget

This was shot on a Sony A7S2 not my main camera. Thanks for watching!

@@jacobestephotography Thanks so much. I hope your channel goes far.

Software wise, no further than high sierra, you will still get security updates however. Hardware wise, yes. You can upgrade the storage, limited graphics cards and you could probably upgrade the Wi-Fi card to allow you to get airdrop working. Graphics card upgrades are possible, however difficult and not sure.

@@jacobestephotography thank you! Would you say it's okay for just surfing the web?

Definitely! I’ve edited 4k video (4k 100mbps) on it… slow but it’ll do it, especially if you upgrade it to an SSD.

@@jacobestephotography thank you for the help!

It can be updated to the newest OS but ultimately you'll have to change the GPU. It can actually be updated without changing the GPU using a patcher utility but a lot of newer programs won't run properly. Regardless of whether or not you update the OS you'll want to swap out the HDD for an SSD. And the RAM is upgradable to a max of 32 GB. Follow Mr Mackintosh on TH-cam, he has plenty of videos walking you through the update process.
