I've had one since 2016 - 8GB and 250GB. It's been fine and even managed a complex 3D animation in Blender (took all night!). Am upgrading to 2TB NVME ssd as the hdd has filled up. Its for the grandkids now so they can learn to type and make pictures in simple paint apps. Great little laptop.
@@techhubwiltsuk just a curious question, can the macbook 2014 still handle multi tasking between ms word and excel? been wanting to buy this as a back up
Hi there. Thx 4 the video. I have a small request, if you don't mind, ofc. Could you check if your model allows you to choose booting from an USB? After turning off the computuer, press the power button an immediately press and hold the alt (option) key. The reason I am asking you to check it out is that I myself have MacBook Air 2015, a1466. I was hoping to install Linux mint on it, unfortunately I encountered the problem that is pretty common with MacBook airs, The menu that pops up after holding the "alt" key, doesn't show any other option but booting from the computers hdd. Unfortunately I still haven't found a solution to that. Just been curious if your model has the same problem or dysfunctionality whatever you call it. Thanks for your reply.
@@a.lawrence4969 no you cannot. Read my post again. I said clearly I don't have this option. Secondly check the internet forums, many ppl have the same problem. Saying , sorry STATING something like this you aren't going to change the reality. Unless you know the "way_around" if that's the case, please share the knowledge
@@chiararubagotti3254 thanks for watching! It’s not possible to upgrade the components you need to get a good speed out of it but aim to get a M1 MAC mini for 250 to 350 pounds
I use for college and works well and am glad this video out
wow thanks for watching

Fantastic and glad it’s still in use. Thanks for watching.
Do you think you can produce music with it?
It will run Logic Pro and garage band but don’t expect many tracks
thanks for this sir! hope to see more.
You got it! Thanks for watching!

Hi, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, I no longer have this machine to test for you sorry but thanks for the request.
Good point and I agree, Thinkpads are work horses but hey this is a Apple fanboy channel! Thanks for watching!
yes u can my 2014 can boot to windows 11 or macOS Sonoma
This is for everyone. You can boot ALL intel Macbooks from a USB. You can use OCLP to install Sonoma.

just a follow up question, how long does the battery last?
The batteries were never that good at around 5 hours but now they are older they will be worse
@@techhubwiltsuk thank you! and it will be okay to use it while charging?
@ajocampo7448 yes when batteries are rubbish just keep it plugged in for use
@@techhubwiltsuk thank you so so much and take care!
i've got it from 2014, perfect conditions, 8GB customized RAM, but it is super slow, how can i make it work at 2024-speed?
@@chiararubagotti3254 thanks for watching! It’s not possible to upgrade the components you need to get a good speed out of it but aim to get a M1 MAC mini for 250 to 350 pounds
Im still using it at home
