    I hope my reaction showed how much this meant to me. I was already ecstatic just to be in a video, but when you told me that it was my computer, I think my reaction speaks for itself. Thanks for being a great friend, and thank you so much for a new computer!

      There is no Big Sur patcher, meaning it will be likely there will be no Monterey patcher that will be released by dosdude1. We could be wrong, for all we know.

    These Late 2013 15" Retina MacBook's really hold up to time. These things breeze through web browsing and day to day tasks. I was able to pick one of these up locally for $200 and there's no way any $200 windows laptop even compares to these. Sad to see it wont be supported in Mac OS Monterey though.

      Older MBPs are repairable.
      Later ones are deliberately designed and built for the landfill. This is the end of a series of ecologically conscious MBPs Apple built.
      They’re classics and repairing the trashed late 2013 one was well worth Luke’s time.

    I love the fact that you gave this MacBook to a friend in need who will obviously appreciate it.
    However, I’d sure like to see a cost breakdown on the parts you ordered from FleaBay versus the going price of a nice condition comparable model to see if it is actually a wise choice to rebuild or to just salvage the parts.

      Thanks for your opinion, but if you look after them, Apple's machines seem to last a bit longer than a comparable PC. I have a 13" Macbook Pro from 2009 that still works and am typing this on a 2014 iMac which is running like it was new. If they were so "evil and greedy", wouldn't Apple make their computers less reliable and long-lasting?

But do not be fooled, this MacBook has not in any sense of the word been "fixed", all that happened was that its logic board was salvaged. But it makes good copy for iFixit, and generates views, so, you know ...
