16k RAM expansion. What a joke compared to today. Its funny to think for us that have lived through these computers and used them as a kid comparing them with our smartphone witch has 1000x more computing power than all those computers you just picked up.

You were able to go online with the Apple 2? Just being able to must've been cool even though it took forever to download anything. The first computer I remember being able to go online with was the very first Macintosh. I cant remember when that came out, though.

I have late 2008 macbook with mac os 12 and using it with blender it run like normal but showerbut it's good

I just picked up an emerson for super cheap and image is amazing on just AV alone, havent even tried svideo

I used to be a die-hard Trinitron fanboy, until I was gifted a 27' Flat Panasonic Tau CRT that I absolutely love. You're right that all brands can look amazing, what really matters more is what kind of inputs they have. As long as a CRT has at least S-Video, in my opinion it's totally acceptable for retro gaming (although if you can find Component, it's even better).

I got the issue where the installation failed to install once when I was installing Sequoia on my 2012 MacBook Pro. I just got my 2012 MacBook Pro a couple weeks ago (which is actually what I'm watching this video on) and what I did was install Monterey first then upgraded from there to Sequoia and it worked. I upgraded it with 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, and a Blu Ray drive.

I love that last one it is very clean for its age!

Great tips! I 1000% agree with the individual nature of CRTs because in the year 2025, these things are typically minimum 20 years old. So consider things like tube health and beam current being healthy. I remember I chased a 32” Sony KV32FS320 about a year ago and turned it down ($50 listing) because the tube was so weak that there was almost no green and the phosphors were beat into the ground. Dodged a dud because I learned to always bring a system to test it out first. I will say that 95% of CRT sellers are “conveniently clueless” about anything with the set and just say Oh yes, it works fine. That’s just not good enough for most gamers.

I just saw someone on Tik Tok who found an Insignia HD CRT at a Goodwill and it looked very good I never knew crappy brands made HD CRTs especially not insignia

Wow! Impressive. It's like visiting Opium den from the 19th century! You are sitting and smoking; you believe that you are sitting in your pipe, and that your pipe is smoking you; you are exhaling yourself in bluish clouds. You feel just fine in this position, and only one thing gives you worry or concern: how will you ever be able to get out of your pipe?😊

Great Video brother! Could you do one talking about what to look for in adapters? Amazon is flooded with them and it's hard to determine what is junk. Thanks for the info!

Do you have a part number for the power supply?

It must be possible to wire up the appropriate voltages to a DB9 on a cheap modern power brick to take the printer out of the loop, right? Has anyone ever tried?

I love the weird stuff on Atari. Shout out to Frogs & Flies, literally the best competitive two player game ever made. I’m also in love with Music Mate modular cartridge organizers; I keep picking up more on eBay and making my cartridge wall bigger and bigger.

awesome video I just updated to sequoia on my Mac Pro 2013 just like you everything works smoothly besides FaceTime, I am able to Mac calls and the other person is able to hear and see me but I can't see them, screen is just black any suggestion to fix? also I have my Mac Pro connected to my display but it thinks my external display is being screen mirrored any help?

I love this set, because it's small, it has component, and it looks fantastic.

Another fake collector

Great video. It's amazing to see how useful old mac computers can be with patching tools!!

I used to have that same error that you encountered and my mistake was that after I would creat the macOS installer on the USB, I was building and installing the OpenCore patches onto the EFI of the internal SSD, but it's supposed to be installed on the EFI of the USB drive. Once I realized I was building and installing OpenCore onto the wrong device I haven't had that problem since. Not sure if that's the same reason you're seeing this error, but that was what I was doing wrong.

Whtas the model looks like it is worth to buy one. Thanks ks for the video

The Lenovo laptops such as the Thinkpad are not that durable, only the hinges are because they are made of metal. A few days ago I accidently stepped on mine whilst the lid was fully closed. The screen glass didn't break because I didn't put my full weight on it however the case lid did bend slightly which has resulted in an explosion of coloured pixels and lines across the screen. The casing whilst feels like metal is actually made of a fusion of a predominantly plastic composite with added magnesium. In my case the touch capability was unaffected so it still functions as a touch screen in windows but with a monitor attached vie it's hdmi port. The rest of the laptop, a T480s still functions as normal, but it didn't take much to wreck the screen should you stand on it. I'm awaiting a new screen to arrive from the USA to Europe. My old 2008 Toshiba Satellite is built like a tank and still works today without issues, been stood on and fallen so many times in 16 years where as my Lenovo T480 has broken within 2 months with not too much force of one foot.

Ah, I need one for all my classic Nintendo gaming. Nice.

It's amazing that some people consider something to be thrown away when there are many people who consider it a piece of jewelry. I saw lots of CRT monitors in good condition lying around near my house and I regret not having collected them.

One of the lamest videos I have ever watched. Virtually nothing about removal of the back panel or the board, just a lot of 'back story' and troubleshooting experience that didn't help.

hello, do you mind sharing specifics on how to open the back panel?

Personally I think those $100 Laptops shouldn’t exists I made that mistake before. Thanks for the video . Those Lenovo’s/IBM are the way to go.

Over under $50k?

Just bought a 7800+ the wireless cx78 gamepad does well with 7800 mrs pacman but not as well with 7800 dig dug. What joystick do you suggest for 7800 dig dug? Should I just get a CX 40?

yooo is the iPhone 5c still up to date???

I don't understand why this is being released when according to the "experts" and "insiders" Nintendo will be announcing the next console within the next few weeks. Honestly, I never enjoyed this game. I would have preferred to have received an HD remake of the original DKC.

6.5 hours away, but for $25… hmmmmm what to do, what to do 😵‍💫

Wow that Insignia has the same specs as a Dell Venue 11 Pro from 2014 that I found in the dumpster. Crazy that they would still sell something like that in 2018. Even on Windows 8 it was painfully slow. Nowadays the CPU and memory maxes out from simply playing a TH-cam video. These super cheap new computers are e-waste straight out of the factory. I just recently joined the Thinkpad club. Recently on a road trip I went to a Goodwill where they sold donated computers. Recently the local college donated a bunch of older Thinkpads which was perfect because I've been looking for one for a long time. I was able to score a 2018 Thinkpad X280 with top end specs - 16G ram, an i7-8650U cpu, 1080p touchscreen panel, and fingerprint scanner. The ssd was removed for security reasons, but regardless it was only $30! I popped in a cheap Crucial and it's perfectly usable today! It's still snappy and can handle all the apps I need for college perfectly. I'm very excited to enter the Thinkpad club! It's crazy what I've been missing out on. Excellent video, thank you!

As soon as he said enter atom next video...

Why not repair the tv?

Thank you @gameselectronicsrus3909 for the video. I'm not sure what you were thinking either, buying that heap of sh*t =) I'm also not sure what you were thinking by moving it around like that & trying to open it with ONE hand while that cable is connected. You'll end up destroying that charging port & rendering the "new" laptop not just junk, but an expensive paper-weight!

This is good information. I got lucky and ran into a yt video about not buying a new consumer laptop and buying a second hand business laptop instead. I was shopping around for a new cheap laptop at the time. Dodged a bullet there. Now I'm searching for a second hand Lenovo business laptop. I'm not in the US so pricing isn't quite as good as it is for you Americans.

love the game room! and collections

Same as phones nowadays. I would rather use an old flagship phone from 2020, rather than today's budget options for the same price. You'll just have to change the battery if the old one doesn't hold the charge, which is not that expensive. Proud owner of a Samsung S20 here, bought for 130$ :)

they produce E - Waste

Yea, my main computer is a T580 I got for $75. I was just missing the charger (which I got new for $25), the internal backup battery, and the storage was only 128 GB, so I put in a 512 I had in a T420 I don't use right now. I can't even sell an X1 Carbon from 2015 for half the price I got it for a few years ago. I word of warning about a few generations of thinkpads: there is a thunderbolt firmware issue that can burn out something on the motherboard, including the USB-C charging port if it's run too long without upgrading the firmware, essentially making it so you can't power your device. I'm not sure if any of those damaged devices are floating around on eBay, but I had to update my T580, and I had to jump through some hoops to do it.

What you say is extremely correct. My mom needed a laptop a while back and I found her a thinkpad T60 (like 10 years ago) which were second hand from some company. That laptop outlived my 2 more modern ones. It was originally set up for WinXP with compatibility for Vista but in end it was able to run Win10 with some loading time issues. However people still buy new because of 2 things. One warranty. I personally think warranty is a scam as they usually run out when the laptop starts showing issues. And 2 the idea to upgrade the machine yourself scares people. Still educating themselves with guides and advise videos like yours hopefully helps

The best way to compare is to divide (CPU GHz, amount of RAM, speed of RAM, amount of transaction CPU<->RAM can be produced, amount of transaction storage<->RAM<->CPU can be produced) by price you have to pay. That's it.

A person like me would have been fooled. I built a computer years ago with a Cyrix microprocessor on board. I assumed that the rapid rate of improvement had continued in the last 30 years and would have selected the new machine. The rate of improvement (progress) has apparently leveled off. The Bean Counters are up to their old tricks and cheap new computers may be little more than junk. This video was a service.

The only thing I'd add is for the average consumer to look for an 8th gen or newer intel or equivalent AMD cpu when considering a used laptop. With Windows 10 going EOL later this year, those should be supported for Windows 11 without the need for the work-arounds necessary to install and get yearly feature updates on unsupported hardware.

i used to use a i7 6th gen processor in my old dell but i now have a i5 12500h which is about the same performance as an m1 max processor but not as energy efficient still a good computer (the dell with the i7 6th gen)

I bought a used HP Elitebook 840 G5 for just 7000 pesos ($120) and I love it. It has few scratches and missing rubber feet, but it doesn't affect the performance. I can't buy a "good" brand new laptop in that price range.

I got a used i7-8th gen dell latitude with 16gigs of ram and 512 gig ssd for like $320 and I definitely agree with you here. It's built like a tank, nice looking screen, very fast, very powerful, has a dedicated Nvidia gpu, so there's really no reason to buy a brand new low end laptop. You'll just be wasting money. Its just perfect as my college laptop

Just bought a t470 with core i5 6th gen wit windows 11 for 153 usd, ngl its better tan new low end laptops also awesome video its very detailed you deserve more subs

I'm glad you're starting to do computer vids! I had an experience with an HP Laptop running Windows 11. You can't even upgrade it, and it has a really cheap quality. I am watching this video on a Dell Latitude E6420, Which the specs have a Intel Core i7-2640M at 2.80GHz, 8GB RAM, 150GB HDD, and Windows 7 Professional SP1. It does any basic task i could do with it. I also have a Dell Latitude D630, with a Intel Core Duo at 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, and Windows Vista Business SP2. Runs fine, i just need to upgrade the RAM a little more. And my main machine is a Dell Inspiron 3647 PC, with a Intel Core i3 at 3.70GHz, 6GB RAM, 1TB HDD, and has Windows 10 on it.
