I'm still running a 2011 MBP with 8 gig of RAM. The GPU broke, but I was able to bypass it. I replaced the battery and added an SSD. Who would have thought the ability to fix and upgrade things you buy could be so useful!
@@Anonymous-g8v From a person who changed the battery on a retina MacBook Pro and changed the CPU of a 5k iMac: don’t solder the RAM if it’s your main device. You can get used Intel Macs with more RAM “cheap” on sides like eBay with a quad core CPU (13 inch) or if you want a Retina One get a 15 inch. (Those often have 16GB, 512gb SSD and a dedicated GPU). But if you already have a better one, do it. I had a lot of fun while upgrading many devices but there’s always the possibility of destroying the device (I destroyed an iPhone 11 Pro and an old iMac from 2011)
2018 Mac Mini with i7 3.2 Ghz 6 core Intel 32GB of self installed RAM upgrade, built in Intel UHD graphics 630 and self installed SSD - running lasted OS - Sonoma 14.6 - seems to be doing fine with 4K video in FCPX. It is slower but it also is about to be 7 years old. so I have gotten my money out of it. Thinking the new M4 will be next, but glad I waited on M1, 2, 3 etc.
@@username7763 It's honestly not that crazy, it's been many years since mainstream OS's have had out-of-the-box support for 16-bit programs, let alone 8-bit.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how well it still performs, just a bit sluggish compared to my current M1 Pro macbook. Tried Xcode 16 on it and yeah it took its sweet time to load everything.

Mack book Pro Mid-2014 i7 1TB (basically went as far as I could get with the model) -pricetag:$3800 Exactly 10 years old and still runs like it fresh out of the shop. It has done everything from video editing, gaming, web browsing, even Bootcamp Windows. It’s only gone to the shop once for a battery change, but otherwise runs better than I could ask (except the fact that Apple no longer supports updates for it.) I swore to myself that I would not move forward until this model actually dies. (I might be waiting another decade for that…🤔) In the meantime I’m now running all my games on an actual Gaming PC.

I am still using a mid-2015 Intel MacBook Pro in 2024. And I use Windows 10 Pro on it, as my primary OS. I haven't touched macOS for almost 2 years. And in terms of performance, I have no issues at all. It runs very smooth, even MS Office. Cheers!!
I thought I could recognise when Sam was making fun of things or not, but that CleanmyMac section left me in doubt and at this point I’m too afraid to ask🤣
Had the 2019 MacBook Pro with an i9 32G of RAM and some AMD Graphics... My company updated me to an M3 Pro this year and... it's actually the first Mac that I really like.
M1 rocks, and also M1 is enough. I made the mistake of getting 16gb of ram. The M1 Pro needs 32gb for even more smooth performance. But overall yes! However, my 2012 and my 2015 are still operational. I never bought a touchbar crappy mac book pro mac due to so many design flaws. Went from a Late 2015 to the M1 Pro.
I have one and it's totally fine. Waiting for M5 or M6 to upgrade. On the other hand, I also have a desktop with a 3090 (and I can remote/Parsec into it if needed), so it's not like this is my only computer.
That touch-bar is pretty neat. Leave it to Apple to come up with a great idea and then ruin it; don't take away keys to put the touch bar in. Give us the full keyboard buttons as well as the touchbar. If you need to make the touchpad smaller that's fine, it's crazy huge anyway. Oh, and give us actual touchpad buttons please.
Leaving the ESC key in their earlier iterations was crazy. I mapped the ^ key to ESC on my work computer. Volume and brightness wasn‘t great, but doable
My great uncle is still rocking a month confition 2011 17 in maxed out matte screen variant too. When ur lucky ur lucky when ur not uh oh ! He's lucky. He's gonna gift it to me soon !!!!
I am still rocking a 16in 2019 i9 MBP with a dedicated radeon GPU. I even play gorgeous looking games such as Shadow of Mordor, Batman Arkham City on MacOS. They were amazingly done and unless I'm doing video calls for work while presenting something and with a ton of tabs open it is quite silent too. I'm grappling with the idea of shelling out for an M4 but the eye-watering price brings me back to my senses. After all I still have a good enough machine for what I do -- and it has the Touch Bar which I find extremely handy.
The macbooks would be a perfect fit for any current linux distro, like for my macbook pro 2017. But Apple wouldn't be Apple by "forgetting' making hardware specs available. So the Linux drivers are limited. So it's just e-waste, despite you want to use outdated Windows of macOS.
@@DavideDavini yeah older, without the extra ARM cpu for security. Most of the hardware is connected over the bridge chips in the later models what makes is very hard to get it working.
They should honestly be required to give full specs. We have ingredients labels on food, no reason not to require decent info on other products as well.
Yes, it is still usable, given that consumers should be aware of cleaning their laptops, replacing the thermal paste, having their old batteries replaced, and lastly, using apps that are within their capabilities. It requires a bit of effort, but once you know how to properly care for your device, it will last a long time without needing to buy a new one.
if you test different computers made at different times the new one is better, amazing. this is why i come to this channel for the most accurate reviews
Early 2011 rejuvenated (new iFixIt battery & trackpad) 13" i5 MacBook Pro, here running Ubuntu 24.04 in 4 Gigs of memory (16 Gigs on order), and feeling fine!
The Portal thing is one of the reasons why I do not update my old 2015 MB Pro from Mojave and why I will never buy a Mac again. My second Windows 11 Dell can run the 2001 program without any problem.
Hey Sam, it's obvious the new MacBook Pro will outperform one that's half a decade old, but the real question is: how does the new MacBook Air compare with the intel MacBook pro? Or, how does the M3 MacBook Air stack up against the M1 MacBook Pro? By the way, love your sense of humor-keep doing what you're doing! 🤗
I'll keep running my 2013 macbook pro with dual boot windows x64. I need to MacOS like 5 times a year and it can run windows 10/11 just fine. It's a great backup machine for occasional use.
My 2015 macbook pro and iphone 7s are so valid if you can bypass update limitations. For basic stuff, both can easily replace any new mid-low level android, pc and moder iphones (same sht, software matters more).
My personal MacBook is a 13" 2020 i7 32GB. Still fine for everything I do and I'm holding on to it for bootcamp. But my work MacBook is a 16" M3Pro 36GB and that thing just sips battery lasts for days and has never got even remotely warm.
The M series macs are dramatically better. I have parallels on mine to run Linux and a Windoze 11 VMs, although the Windoze one might get powered up once every 6 months. My first M series Mac was/is an M1 MacBook Air and is still a phenomenally good laptop for most business use. The battery life is amazing and the performance is pretty good. It’s a corporate machine and as good now as it was over 3 years ago as new. My home machine is an M1 Pro, which I’ll upgrade to an M4 when they come out. It’s been depreciated completely on tax and so it makes sense to move on.
4 thunderbolts were a big deal for me. I just found out that the M series 13 inch macbook having just 2 thunderbolts. Crazy to think they even downgrade even the smallest cheapest part. Im gonna keep my 2020 13 inch last Intel Macbook forever
Witty and insightful as ever. I love Apple hardware, I cannot stand their operating system. If I can't reliably install Linux on it, I'm not using it!! Which is why I'll stick with my 2015 iMac 27" running Debian for now... fingers crossed for Linux of all varieties on Mx chips in the future.
One thing you did not compare is the virtualization. I believe mac os can use 2 main virtualisation software, vmware (changed to a new company I heard, but same product) and parallel. How are these 2 working on the Intel and the "M" series to run both Windows and Linux OSes? Also what about Docker? As you said, your wife must run Windows applications. But can she manage this as comfortably on a virtual machine than the Intel Dual Boot option? Because if it is to opt at boot to run either Mac or Windows, why not having a full Windows PC? The occasional Microsoft needs should be only needed in a virtual machine, otherwise, it should probably need its own platform at all times? Your videos are very entertaining and educational. Much appreciated.
Jorma has been happy with the MacBook Pro 2009 which he received as a gift from a person who had no longer any use for it (no updates in the OS), running Ubuntu on it. But now the Ubuntu version he uses takes an awfully long time to boot up. It gets stuck somewhere in the USB probing, he says. Something like 5 minutes from power-up. But, after it has booted and and running everything is OK.
I run virtual Windows on a MacBook M3 Max: via Parallels (do to C# Windows development). It works really well: like how you can have Windows apps on the Dock. From what I've read the only con about Parallels is games: it doesn't support the most recent Direct X. I don't care, because if I want to play a game, I have a i9 Nvidia PC. My previous MacBook was an i9 15". I decided to try upgrading in order to have better battery life: but I have also noticed a speed difference with multitasking and video rendering.
Everytime I turn on my M2 MacBook Pro, I remember I was able to buy one Minisforum V3 Windows 11 Tablet with all the accessories, plus two Minisforum Mini PCs and they all came with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage for the same price as my MacBook with 24GB RAM etc. The Windows PCs are all based on latest AMD APUs, so have similar performance to the M2 apart from power efficiency. Note to oneself, stop lining Tim Cook's pockets!
It's very interesting how such an expert on trashing reviews and ridiculing everything can answer a small list of questions that I have accumulated over a couple years of using macbook pro (on intel): - keyboard layout (unusual vertical positioning of the enter key, moving the tilde key to the shift key, shifting special characters one key to the left, and other things that interfere with convenient use). - as part of the first question - why is the layout on American macbooks normal, and the problem only on those shipped to the rest of the world. - installation of the corporate image of the operating system and programs, as well as setting up user access through domain security policies (yes, we all work in Windows domains, where we really work, not open the laptop lid with a finger). - multi-user mode (this is when you have a user account for work and personal and they should work normally, not load the processor to 500% running one program in the background) - cooling.... - a laptop for a lot of money, which is unpleasant to touch even in winter, and in summer you can light matches from it... - installation and configuration of literally everything you need only through the command line - but much worse than on free linux... - why do you feel like a smoothie moron when all you see from a laptop is a nice case... There were actually a lot more questions, but after 2.5 years I returned the macbook and decided that linux and vindows were better. Many thanks =)))

I'm watching this on a 2017 Intel Macbook Air right now!
Indeed anyone can be good with a vaccum 🤣.
Also congrats on the sponsor, it's way overdue.
One thing you did not compare is the virtualization. I believe mac os can use 2 main virtualisation software, vmware (changed to a new company I heard, but same product) and parallel. How are these 2 working on the Intel and the "M" series to run both Windows and Linux OSes? Also what about Docker?
As you said, your wife must run Windows applications. But can she manage this as comfortably on a virtual machine than the Intel Dual Boot option? Because if it is to opt at boot to run either Mac or Windows, why not having a full Windows PC? The occasional Microsoft needs should be only needed in a virtual machine, otherwise, it should probably need its own platform at all times?
Your videos are very entertaining and educational. Much appreciated.
Well, first time for everything as they say cuz this is the first time I see Timmy cooks cooking jokes about his toys
Today Sam is like having apple lawyers in the studio 😅😅
I still use a 2019 iMac with a 1TB Fusion Drive and a 3 GHz 6-Core i5. Honestly I’m still really liking it but I wouldn’t mind getting an M1 Mac.
Thank you
Lol I still daily my 2012 MacBook Pro updated to Sequoia
Jorma has been happy with the MacBook Pro 2009 which he received as a gift from a person who had no longer any use for it (no updates in the OS), running Ubuntu on it. But now the Ubuntu version he uses takes an awfully long time to boot up. It gets stuck somewhere in the USB probing, he says. Something like 5 minutes from power-up. But, after it has booted and and running everything is OK.
I use my Intel Mac for windows, it works great
Did not expect the greys. You still look so young
I run virtual Windows on a MacBook M3 Max: via Parallels (do to C# Windows development). It works really well: like how you can have Windows apps on the Dock. From what I've read the only con about Parallels is games: it doesn't support the most recent Direct X. I don't care, because if I want to play a game, I have a i9 Nvidia PC. My previous MacBook was an i9 15". I decided to try upgrading in order to have better battery life: but I have also noticed a speed difference with multitasking and video rendering.
Everytime I turn on my M2 MacBook Pro, I remember I was able to buy one Minisforum V3 Windows 11 Tablet with all the accessories, plus two Minisforum Mini PCs and they all came with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage for the same price as my MacBook with 24GB RAM etc. The Windows PCs are all based on latest AMD APUs, so have similar performance to the M2 apart from power efficiency. Note to oneself, stop lining Tim Cook's pockets!

It's very interesting how such an expert on trashing reviews and ridiculing everything can answer a small list of questions that I have accumulated over a couple years of using macbook pro (on intel):
- keyboard layout (unusual vertical positioning of the enter key, moving the tilde key to the shift key, shifting special characters one key to the left, and other things that interfere with convenient use).
- as part of the first question - why is the layout on American macbooks normal, and the problem only on those shipped to the rest of the world.
- installation of the corporate image of the operating system and programs, as well as setting up user access through domain security policies (yes, we all work in Windows domains, where we really work, not open the laptop lid with a finger).
- multi-user mode (this is when you have a user account for work and personal and they should work normally, not load the processor to 500% running one program in the background)
- cooling.... - a laptop for a lot of money, which is unpleasant to touch even in winter, and in summer you can light matches from it...
- installation and configuration of literally everything you need only through the command line - but much worse than on free linux...
- why do you feel like a smoothie moron when all you see from a laptop is a nice case...
There were actually a lot more questions, but after 2.5 years I returned the macbook and decided that linux and vindows were better.
Many thanks =)))
Watching this from my 15" 2014 Intel Macbook Pro running Big Sur because I'm a rebel.
