I bought one of these new, my first Mac, to travel for a year in 2008 - I absolutely loved it and I still miss it. I got rid of it when the battery expanded somewhat 5 or 6 years later. I tried a replacement battery but it never worked the same after that and I retired it.
I'm using my current macbook mid 2010 to run on Catalina Patcher and it runs great without problems in 2024 even it is unsupported but still can runs finders and sync on latest iphones devices..👍👍👍👍
I had one of these for a few years, amazing to think it's 15 years old. It was a good machine but very unreliable. Mine had at least 1 logic board replacement, new RAM, a new hard drive and at least 1 optical drive. The covering on the bottom eventually pealed off which was the subject of an Apple service program. You can reset the boot order by going to 'startup disk' in system preferences and choosing MacOS, or if that doesn't work reset the PRam by holding command, option, p and r while you press the power button and wait for 2 or 3 chimes. You don't get an 'automatic' boot manager on a Mac even with bootcamp unless you run an alternative boot manager.
These plastic MacBooks were known to crack even with just light usage. My MacBook palmrest area had cracked which thankfully Apple replaced even though it was out of warranty. It was the only Mac I ever owned until I bought a M2 MacBook Air (base model) on sale which is a great machine for my needs.
That’s quite old like 15 years ago. Just to be sure, my life might needed a MacBook because my Parents wouldn’t. Well, today as of now I have PC Laptops and Desktops. (Even one laptop that Has No Power even someone could fix the problem anytime soon!)
I had a very similar MacBook in my teenage years (being a 2010 model), it was the first modern Mac I had for myself after having an iMac G4 a couple of months prior. Still have the MacBook to this day, although I've struggled to get myself to use it after 2018 once I got other laptops that do its job better. Last thing I did with it was try to run Chrome OS as an experiment, and it had too many bugs to be a usable experience - likely due to the Nvidia MCP89 chipset not being very well supported.
I loved Macs for a while - had a used cheese grater Power Mac G5 with dual core PowerPC G5 chip - it was a beast but the fans on that thing and in winter it functioned as a handy heater. I then upgraded to a used dual CPU Xeon cheese grater Mac Pro - used it for a long time and even patched the firmware so it would support the later OS but the writing was on the wall for future OS releases, (T2 security chip) so I went back to a Dell PC.
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with a dual core I 5 that I don't use anymore because it's so sluggish. They were great machines but in the modern age I can't stand the slow speeds anymore. I think you need at least quad core in the modern age to have a decent user experience
hey great video. love it. i am doing an upgrade series on the same MacBook lol. i am trying to upgrade to Sonoma and windows 11. very interesting video.
(1) It's nice to think that someone out there will use these retro machines for basic tasks (2) Word processing... Surfing the net etc. (3) The only problem with that idea is... (4) All those task will get take up by old fan less Celerons (6 watt) (5) Plenty of Intel Celerons on the market that are now at the n4000 series and up (6) That provide UHD graphics... (For surfing the web at 4k... Via external monitor) (7) They also can record video at 1080 50fps (8) Also most people are starting to consider certain smartphones a little retro. (9) They do the most basic task for other people (10) Maybe you consider the machine 15 years old... (Because it is) (11) Let's be honest (12) 15 years ago in laptop land is not 15 years ago in desktop land gaming (13) As most laptops much weaker than average desktop gaming (14) If it is a desktop/laptop comparison...the laptop is around 10 years older from new😊 (15) Go look at new Intel N100s.... (16) What can they really play. (17) Most laptops feel semi retro right from the word go. 😊
I like how you have more than one operating system to use on that MacBook computer. Nice demonstration!

after holding the option key to get to the boot selector you can set the default option by holding ctrl while clicking what to boot
That system needs a quad boot, OS X 10.6.8, OS X 10.13, Windows XP 32bit, Windows 7 64bit. That would make it epic :)

Same, does your Mac have problems running Netflix Hulu etc
Had one of those laptops for a short period of time. Loved the design. Used it as a spare laptop
I also did a video on my channel covering this laptop a few weeks ago! Lovely machine and still quite usable with a few upgrades. :)

Just upgraded from my 2010 MacBook Pro this year. Miss all the ports already
You can install the latest macOS Sonoma on a late 2009 MacBook using Open Core Legacy Patcher.

I daily drive a late 2009 macbook with ventura and runs pretty good to be honest
12:20 Is the Mac partition formatted as HFS+? If its formatted as APFS which High Sierra supports it might not show up in boot camp
I recently sold a Toshiba Satellite C855-S5344 and it also had that line on the screen, i have a theory it might have been caused by the keyboard.

Would make a nice lawn ornament 😉

The newest Mac I have is a MacMini Core 2 Duo and the latest is Snow Leopard
