    • @thetonyclay
      @thetonyclay 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Not disclosing paid promotion in 2017 LUL. You really think he wants to bring both TH-cam and the law down on him for not disclosing and letting you know he was selling you something. Come on, pretty sure he was just promoting it because its a great service.

      He wasn't playing the games on the mac. He was streaming them. Basically it's like having someone elses computer run your games while it is displayed on your screen. Not to mention he would be playing at 720p because beyond that would be upscaling.

      Upgrading is actually pretty easy because any MacBook and MacBook Pro pre-2012 can be opened up from the bottom and have its HDD, Ram and Battery taken out and replaced or upgraded. Likely the best one could do for this MacBook would be putting in 8gbs or ram, which it surprisingly supports, and a regular non proprietary SSD

      Well, it is really easy to upgrade to an SSD and add more ram.
      Like, you take out 8 screws and the ram is there, pops right out, pop in ram. 2 screws and the hard drive is out, 4 more to free it from the bracket, then bam ssd.
      Idk if it’d be worth another video because it’s so damn simple to do.
      Upgrading the CPU isn’t really possible, it’s soldered on. You could switch the motherboard out for the 2010 model, with a slightly faster cpu and a gpu that’s twice as powerful, but that’s really it.
      The only interesting upgrade is replacing the disk drive with a second hard drive or ssd.

    • @easyluckable

      swd311000 I know it will be a easy process. I just want to see him doing it. I was also thinking if it’s possible to make a SSD RAID, by replacing HDD and disk drive to two SSD. Not sure how RAID work in OS X though.

      @Gasmask11000 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok yeah that’d be interesting.
      MacOS has built in [software] raid support, and since a straight SSD swap is bottlenecked by a Sata 2 connection, this might get the data transfers to the level of a modern Sata 3 laptop with a nice ssd.

    • @gabrielpalencia4779
      @gabrielpalencia4779 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because Apple: Money reaping > Quality.
      Although the lower clock speeds (who thought having 1-2GHz was a good idea?) Are a huge hit, the newer architectures make up for it, but granted a PC for half the price or less could still easily destroy it, especially since a lot if not most modern Mac's only have Intel graphics.

    • @gabrielpalencia4779
      @gabrielpalencia4779 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Though that may be true, Trackpads aren't that good in general, at least compared to decent mice. backlit keyboards don't always matter, even as pretty as they are. Besides, there are nice backlit, sometimes RGB mechanical keyboards for sub $50, so even if you did throw one in it would probably still cost less than a Mac. Thunderbolt port, eh, not sure how much it matters, and by just spending a bit more you can get a nice SSD for your OS (Windows, Linux, or even macOS). Granted there won't be enough SSD space to store that many files on it, Macs don't have that much storage, as opposed to even a budget PC where you can easily get a 1TB HDD on the cheap. And no, opening your personal files in the blink of an eye isn't that important. Overall, that nice feeling experience one can achieve with a Mac, doesn't matter if they have bad framerates of process times. I see where you're coming from though.
