    Would a MacBook 2016 12" be usable with Sonoma? Mine is on monterey right now and it's perfectly fast enough. I use for CZcams mainly and reddit. The MacBook air in this video clearly can't handle Sonoma with the 4GB of ram, it locked up just loading CZcams lol, but 8 should be fine right? Or should I stick with Ventura?

    Something that might help if you ever have to do this again is you can use a heat gun on the plastic and it will make the plastic soft so it doesn't brake, the plastic is brittle because it's old and dried out. Just putting that out there for you seeing if that might help you for the next time. God Bless and have a good one.

      I cant' guarantee it 100% of course but there is a good chance of it working out. I did similar things to some other Lenovos (mostly Thinkpads) e.g. replacing a Core i5 board with an i7 and it worked every time. So as long as the connectors all match up it will probably just boot up with the better hardware.

    Excellent Video! You mentioned not installing Windows 10, but now 2024 most apps on the Windows 8.1 RT either act erratic or dont work at all (Microsoft store) and the Internet Explorer also acts erratic. Anything that allows newer software access gives some life and options to this neglected machine :-) I would not recommend for anyone who is not computer literate and likely the limited 2GB RAM would cause issues overall like most Windows 7 machines upgraded to 10 which cannot handle multitasking the constant Windows 10 updates unless frozen from computer management (this Nvidia Tecra only has 1mb L2 cache, good 12 years ago for 32bit but not today). If you want to test I have a 64gb drive RT so Im considering partitioning the drive to have 40gb available to test and keeping 8 on the drive.

    Hi, I just came across this video today and found it very interesting and informative. I do have this very same Apple laptop (Core i7, 1.7 Ghz, 8 GB RAM) which I bought used in mint condition on eBay for just 180€ 2,5 years ago. I installed Open Core Legacy Patcher on the system in order to use current updates of macOS. Mine is running OS Sonoma (14.5) without any flaws and the previous versions to it for more than 2 years. This MacBook Air has become for various reasons one of my favourite „daily drivers“. I do own quite a number of older MacBookPros and Lenovo ThinkPads, as well as Apple iMacs and a Apple Mac mini M1, Apple iPad Pro M1 and older variants. All along with various older iPhones an „old“ iPhone XS (bought used 2 years ago) being my most modern one which still is still supported by the latest iOS 17 … For just the most common tasks in daily computer work this thing is perfect for meI I don’t edit videos on it and I do not play games other than chess on it 😂. PS: I also have a Late 2008 MacBook Pro 15“ Unibody in excellent condition which I bought 2 weeks ago for just 35€ (advertised as „broken“ because it had no hard drive anymore), put a SSD into it and installed Sonoma as well. It also works flawless … 🙂Removed the fancy new background in exchange for a more classic one though.

    That makes sense to a degree they don't want to have to test the new itunes on old mac and windows sees such wide adoption because of the performance but also I think it's a little bit more space saving on the program end than mac, might be specific to certain programs. Still not as good as linux though in terms of not wasting space with duplicate items. Also I don't think they make these decisions on a whim, I literally fixed a El Capitan iMac. Old install but still it shouldn't have been as slow as it was. It was just casual users using the computer and it didn't seem to me that there was any kind of virus I had the machine offline. Anyway I burned a snow leopard DVD so that I could experience the very end of the aqua theme and tiger panther theme as well. It's great I like it a lot and also if you're just listening to audio files that you have stored locally itunes 8 is a champ, it still has that very desktop feel like winamp. Focused on doing a specific task even though it can do a bunch of other stuff as well. Eventually I want a Mac os X jaguar system so that I can revisit the scanline aqua theme properly but aside from using it as a music player and retro gaming device there isn't going to be much reason to use it. But I really did love having an OS that looked that nice for playing music. Linux is going to be the way forward perhaps I can develop some kind of a aqua theme for modern gnome. Maybe Mac will re release aqua, I know it's a tiny performance loss over solid fill systems but I think it is worth it as an option, very enjoyable.
