Very few people spend over $3000 on a Mac and let it sit in the box for 12 years... but today that's exactly what happened! As a finale for 2020 I've found a brand new MacBook Pro from 2008 that is sealed in it's original packaging and shipping box and we're going to unbox this retro Mac for the first time - 12 years after it was manufactured

I hope you guys enjoyed the Luke Miani holiday special! This is the last video of 2020, so I'll see you guys next year! Big thanks to Dashlane for sponsoring today's video, check them out by going over to: www.dashlane.com/miani and get Dashlane for free on your first device!
I see the scissors have made a comeback in the unboxing process! What happened to the elegant butter knife used in your previous video? LMAO. Great video Luke!
@@stevenherbst This is amazing man! Last time only I am thinking of doing this kind of old Mac products, here you go. Thank you for this video, this quiet helpful.
Is there going to be any sort of End Of The Year type videos in early 2021
Thank you Luke, I did enjoy it so much! Let me ask you something... while watching your videos (which by the way I must say all of them are delicious) I was thinking about a topic that perhaps many other followers would be interested in... why not doing a video about yourself? I mean, who you are, your education, what have you brought ending up doing this great Mac videos, your hobbies, thoughts, views, musical tastes, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only curious! Anyway, thanks so much for all your content!
Hugs from Barcelona!
Nice one
Lost my mind when the intro video came back
Wait with the new M chip MacBooks? Could you link it please
@@andrejzlall I think he meant during the video on the 08 MBP lmao
I miss the intro video ...i recorded the chime for my 2017 imac
Wish they had that today.
Hey im a big fan
I worked at the Apple Store from 2008-2011 and saw that intro vid hundreds of times, and yet seeing it still never gets old
why did u see it hundreds of times? Did u work at the genius bar?
@@Commander_HW FRS, I did setups and RAM upgrades
It’s the small details that matter, like how voice over comes in right after the music fades and it feels really futuristic
21:44 "subtitle text here" that got me XD
안녕하세요 ㅋㅋㅋ
That random 9 got me
Real talk: That iSight ain’t even worse than modern MBP web cams.
With exception to the new M1 Macs. Also I highly expect the redesigned gens coming next year to have 1080p finally
iSight cameras were 480p so yeah they are worse
@@nhlvan It's a joke
@@nhlvan they honestly don't even look that bad tbh
@@Untitled-cd5qj Yeah, to me they look like most laptop webcams in 2020
The stairfoam design from the front looks like the design of the new mac pro 😱😱
So i was not the only one thinking that😂
It's also the back design of the apple monitor!!!!!!
Yeah that is almost spooky but cool nevertheless. It's as if someone in Apple said "Hey, remember that packaging we used?" at the design meeting and everyone went "Genius - woo, hell yeah!"
That was my first thought!
Wow seeing this is crazy I was wondering is anyone noticed as well. Thats so cool, the Apple continuity
I was literally deceased when that random "9" came scrolling up.

I love this kind of unboxing video, kind of makes me feel how far tech has advanced in just a decade.
yea me too
@@djmjofficial645 that's cool
Wait for m1 mbpro and lets see how good that turns out
@@luquivarde7266 how do you feel about it now?
@@whatispizza not the person you replied to. But I am in absolute love with the m1 mbp. The power it has and how little power it uses is amazing.
8:55 “I don’t know why they don’t include these anymore”
Mr Krabs: “money”
Apple as mr krabs: I’m not cheap! I’m not cheaaaap!
They use cellophane wrap now
20:20
Definitely 2008 with the iMacs in the background 😂🤣🤣
It could be plausible because the LED cinema displays look the same for the parts that you can see and they were released in 2008
And "20:20" 😂🤣🤣
@Gaming York that design of imac wasn't released until 2009 but im saying since you cant see the bottom bezel it could be an led cinema display
Wow, This was the first mac i ever bought. Watching this i felt kinda emotional in a way. This machine was the first step in my transition from being an irresponsible child to being a music composer. Something I do for a living now. Only love for this machine.
Same. I bought it soon after I bought my first iPhone. Unfortunately mine got stolen and renters insurance replaced it with a unibody MacBook Pro
The iMac was also revolutionary when it came out way back in late 1998!
First mac I bought too. I had just started my career life.
I wonder if this baller in Brazil realizes that he made some kid in the US very happy today with his 3k purchase from 12 years ago.
That’s how destiny works, mate. Lol
Golden era of Apple. Loved that macOS intro :)
why golden era?
@@arthurgamerpro6585 This was the golden era of Apple, when Jobs was still CEO. Apple mainly focused on innovation and features. Now, Apple is taking good features away, and innovation is reversing. I used iPhone back about 6 years ago. IMO after the iPhone X, is when Apple lost innovation. That's why I switched to Samsung. Once Apple starts innovating, and add very useful features, I will consider another iPhone. Plus, you don't get that "perfect" Apple treatment anymore when you unbox a brand new product.
I love the misspellings.
I loaded Mavericks on my early 08 15 and it's more than useful still. I'm watching this in 1080p, on battery, with the brightness all the way up, and it's not even flenching. I'd rather use this, vs a 2020 chromebook.
This man is genuinely in love with Apple.
That MacBook Pro you are unboxing is the very first Apple MacBook Pro that I purchased. I'm now on my 6th MacBook Pro
God, forgive them. They don't know what they do!
Rich af nigga
Your 6th macbook pro? 🙂
@@HavenMarches Yes sir. I', waiting for the 16 inch M1 or whatever its called with the new silicon chip. That will be my next MacBook pro
@@johnk8091 Dang, I'm definitely a Windows guy but I can respect that. What happens to your previous macbooks?
Luke tosses the pc and packaging to the side to adore the cleaning cloth... one of a kind my man.
Honestly, that webcam is just as good as the 2020 MacBook Air’s!!!!
Same with every laptop in 2020. Haha. It just shows how low of a priority it is in everyday use and even if it is, it’s just used for zoom meetings with colleagues and FaceTime.
Low resolution, choppy framerates galore!
@@lukedstaten except Microsoft surface products
@@nad1ax2 nah too unrealistic
That Styrofoam is really where they got the design for the new cheese grater Mac Pro
Chuti duw ge bn
Ahhhhh, man! I loved it Luke! This one was pretty special! Thanks so much for sharing. That old Macbook Pro couldn't have found a better home.
Your face during the boot up screen was priceless 😂! That was amazing! Your joy was so pure.
You should do more iMovie ‘08 videos, that was absolutely glorious. Maybe a little series of reviews in that format? Could be fun!
Nice find . I just bought an early 2008 off eBay. The laptop looks brand new and the battery only has 6 cycles on it. It arrived with a fully charged battery too, which was crazy.
What operating system is it running? What do you use the computer for?
9:25 HELLO from Brazil!!!
HUEHUE
E eu vi nos finger tips o selo da Anatel e tinha achado estranhos, segundos depois ele falou que era um Macbook "brasileiro"
muito bom!!!
top hehe
Unboxings of this specific computer were some of the first tech videos I watched on TH-cam. I don’t know if this is an official series, but I love this collection of opening-old-things videos. 👍
The title typos are spectacular.

Thank you for doing the mini video using contemporary equipment. It was a trip to see the video and picture quality as well as the visual styles. It took me back. Nice job on this.
Apple Unboxing is absolutely the BEST experience bar none! No other company can surpass them.... Great video, really enjoyed it... Thanks Luke and Happy New Year!
bro your editing an charisma has gotten so freaking good and I love it
I got hysterical with the review! Genius! Absolute Genius!
Great vid Luke! I love your vids on these old products.
Cool Retro Video of the 2008 MacBook Pro. All the Memories tahta came to mind. Thanks for sharing.
I used that exact MB Pro daily up until 2015, when the faulty Nvidia GPU died. It was quite a powerhouse, if it wasn't for the bad GPU, I would probably kept using it for another year and a half.
I bought it in 2009, for USD$850 in today's dollars. It was a great deal
That 2008 style review bit was so good!! And yes, you need to fully make the switch , for posterity of course
apart from the bit where he said "LIKE and subscribe", which should have been "rate 5 stars and subscribe"!
Awesome review !! I loved when the Os X welcome started !!!
Good memories from the first time that I've installed Os X on a 2008 Macbook White! Thanks for all your videos!
Best regards from Chile!
Extraordinary !!!! ... Thank you very much again for sharing the experience of traveling through time! ... a huge greeting from Chile!
That iMovie scene was AWESOME! Bruh this feels nice
Merry xmas to everyone
Hope you all have a great holiday 😇🎉
Omg that intro on the Mac brought back so many memories! All the different languages thru space!
Just left a comment on the 17" MBP vid.. also amazing to watch. This was the (I think exact spec) laptop that got me through grad school and lasted me 6 years till I couldn't take it anymore and had to upgrade. Such a trip to see this after so many years. Thanks for the vid!
His reactions are priceless😂
He is just amazed by everything lol😂👍
He's like the male version of iJustine only maybe not as rich.
@@lhk7006 yes, so true
@@lhk7006 Well with the slight difference that he is no Apple shill like iGarbage is. If a product is not great he is saying it. She loses her shit over everything she receives for free.
This is by far my favourite MacBook Pro model, the design is timeless and still holds up well today. Also, this video was really good and quite funny - keep it up!
Same here. Had a MacBook Pro from 2006 and bought a 15in one in early 2008. Solid design.
@@jamdiep99 my only problem with them is the faulty graphics cards, but otherwise they are brill
15:12 again.. that first startup screen..
makes the experience that much more special.
Great find!
The keyboards on those and the PowerBook G4 that was before it are amazing.
The MacBook Pro from 2008 still looks better than most of the windows laptops from 2021...
Im literally crying lol !!! Great trip down memory lane!
For years I maintained Mac networks and I remember unboxing these, along with all of the other various models - really good times. Thanks for the trip down limited memory lane!
Typing this while watching and I can’t wait to see the start up video. The music, the graphics. So many memories. My first Mac was an iMac. Once I used iWeb to make my first website, I was hooked and my next purchase was this exact MacBook Pro. It was a great experience and ya gotta love that new Mac smell. Not the same today,
What a trip down Memory Lane! The Early 2008 MBP (albeit in the lower spec’ed variant) was my first Mac ever. So cool to see the whole experience of unboxing it for the first time again. Let me go and hit that “Subscribe” button.
The video quality is superb. Did he get a new camera?
This was my first MacBook Pro that I got when I was in 7th/8th grade and started my love for Apple! This computer lasted me years before the logic board finally died (I presume) back in 2013-ish. That Intel Core 2 Duo was certainly capable!
This was special to me. This is where it all started from me. This computer, and in fact iMovie and GarageBand in particular on this computer, got me where I am today. I absolutely love it, and sort of wish the design style of the computer and OS X would return. It looks fantastic to me still. And the little hibernation indicator it had where it would glow like it was breathing. It's legendary. I since went and got all sorts of Apples, old and new, including old PPC Macs and my 2020 iMac I'm writing this on, but this thing holds such a special place in my heart
I'm watching this on that exact year/model laptop. Weird and cool at the same time. Waiting for 16" M1 to upgrade.
How’s safari holding up?
@@andrejzlall It's ok. Running El Capitan. Firefox a bit better. Chrome takes cpu hostage though
@@Alodri Interesting to read this. I have a 2008 MBP 17 and with the 6gb of memory it fixed most of my problems with Chrome. I prefer running videos on Opera. It’s very smooth for some reason. On El Capitan as well. I tried Mojave with dosdude tool. It worked but it’s working a little bit better with El Capitan. Did you make upgrades ?
@@Alodri keep the 2008 macbook pro since it might be worth alot in the future
That was hilarious, going back to the future 🤣 cool tho
I remember buying my first MacBook Pro. Same one as yours, but smaller. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Time sure flies.
(That POS lasted just over a year, btw, but the unibody that replaced it still runs fine after 10+ years.)
first time in my life, i watched a 23min unboxing video and didn’t get bored for a single sec! luke brother you are good!👏🏻👏🏻
22:22 Yeah... Switch!
4k video quality is overrated...
That's not even a joke. When quality got upgraded on this cool website, called TH-cam, the friendly vibe also disappeared. The last nail in the coffin of the older version was when they removed the "Broadcast Yourself" headline. It was a very community-centric place a few years ago. We had video responses and we could react to each other's content that way. Now it's a walled garden, that isn't about the people anymore.
@@etnevel.naitzsirk Agree
20:10 reveiw by Cool Luke
21:31 Youtub!
21:43 Subtitle Text Here
Most epic unboxing, its on a whole other level
that intro video is just 🤯🤯 I could not close my mouse when I looked at it 😲
and "Subtitle Text Here" really got me🤣🤣
Reminds me when plain rock edited his intro on a iMac g3
these fill me with such joy
Wow you really geeked out opening this packaging Luke lol fun video
Nostalgic! Ultimate Retro Unboxing!
I got out my early 2008 Macbook 15 inch just to watch this!
OMG this was my first MBP for college. Thanks for the nostalgia. Oh simpler times, how I longer for thee! 😩😩😩😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Your boot up reaction is priceless, btw. That’s exactly how I felt when I powered it on for the first time! 🤣🤣🤣
You made this video a lot of fun to watch. Kudos.
great video, I have the 2006version, I bought and repaired, now me and my partner have over 20 Apples from 1985 Mac to 2020 MacBook Pro. Thank you for your great content.
Fun fact: one of my friends still using one of theese
Here before this video become popular! ✌️
Very cool video. The work and effort you put in videos, we the subscribers see that and appreciate that. When it comes to Macboos, this guy knows what he's talking about. Keep up the good work man. great channel, great TH-camr. BRAVO
this is so crazy to see!! great video
15:49 Me when I waste all my money on an apple car!
Core 2 duo could still make an interesting Linux box
I really love the old style retro review.
Great video. Crazy how the battery ballooned up.
12:54 if you want to have a little ASMR
Okay that old 2008 style editing sent me back to a nostalgic time. That was amazing
Wow so much memories! That was my first Mac back in 2008 and loved it.
Omg the vintage iMovie TH-cam review is spot on lollllllll. All the misspellings and crappy graphics. That was perfect!
Opening a Mac-nificent packaging with ordinary scissors... xD
When you’re so early you can make the number of likes go up.
I am watching this on my new M1 MacBook Pro. Honestly, the video capabilities through that WebCam on the 2008 MacBook Pro really wasn't that bad for its time. The audio quality was pretty decent for back then even listening to it now if I will be honest. I really love the video and I hope to see more videos like this!
16:48…that smile…THAT DAMN SMILE!
14:00 is when he actually opens it... thank me later
tbh i like listening to luke as much as the actual unboxing
I’m fascinated by the unknown story of how you spend $3,000 on a laptop and then never open it.
Probably just new old stock from a company gone bankrupt years ago or something like that.
Yeah weird 🙃
Keep making videos on these older Apple products. That 2003 Mac video got me hooked
I had that exact laptop ant took it to college. I also miss the old boxes, they were truly stunning, and the aroma was fantastic. So sad how they make everything so cheap and biodegradable nowadays. I loved the old devices and their packaging. And I miss the aesthetic of those old MacBook Pros with the all silver look. So sleek and I loved the silver compared to today's MacBooks. As well as the first bootup music from back in the day. Such a throwback.
ÉÉÉÉÉÉ DO BRASILLLLL!
CISA TRADING era a importadora da Apple aqui né? Hahah
Quem vendeu deve ta rico kkkk
Wow... If it came from Brazil, I can guarantee that a lot more than 3 grand was dropped in this thing.
Very brave to not even open it. Made for an excellent video!
The nostalgia 😭 i love the video so much
Talk about a blast from the past. My grandpa had one of these and gave it to my mom when he stopped buying laptops. She had it until the motherboard died in 2016. She loved that MacBook Pro. She unfortunately bought the MacBook Pro with the butterfly keyboard and had to put up with it until it died on her a few weeks ago. Now she has a M2 15 inch Air that she loves.
I love how 12 tech looks like shit HP or Dell is selling today 😂
If you're talking about 300-400 dollars laptop, then yes. For $1000+, any windows laptop will match macbook in built and design department....that m1 processor is a totally different thing.

Lmfao
Oh God, the iMovie edit was HILARIOUS! I remember those days well - great trip down memory lane!
love the unboxing of older macs - though I have some model cars in their original blister packs unopened from 1962 - so 12 years is no time at all really.
This is completely and utterly random but dude...I just found out that you‘re 22?! I thought you were like 30 and I mean that in the best possible way.
Seriously? I'm 21 and I don't look like a 21 dude at all
Cause maybe I'm from SEA (Malaysia)
another resealed product sold as "brand new"
but it is brand new.... not resealed
@@nicman9793 check unboxing videos of the same macbook uploaded in 2008, the cables are packaged completely differently, way neater, this is a macbook that was opened and used before, then the person tried to reseal it to make it look like its new and sold it for way more than its worth to this guy
This design laptop was the one that made me fall in love with macs.. I got a 2006 or so PowerBook from my teacher in 2012 for my programming project, and I was so impressed how well that old computer worked that I got myself a new 2012 MacBook Pro. It still works well (and better than many laptops I come across.. sadly 😄)
16:23 When you press cmd-q you can skip that registration form and go directly to the account setup. Great video man! Amazing buy!
