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!
No way it’s actually joe!
I hope you enjoy it Joe!
@@lukemiani no way it’s actually Luke!
@@joeplavin - No way it’s actually Marc!
@@SCU3A_S7EVE I know right! It’s crazy that marc is actually here!
This video made me feel happy, because he was so happy.
OMG, his reaction is SO wholesome. Great job, Luke.
Ahh man. This was so nice! You’re a class act Luke.
I always enjoy these videos, it always astonishing to me that you can repair these MacBooks
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.
@@NormanF62 I don’t see why he couldn’t do the same thing with the newest m1 mac for example?
Everything is basically the same apart from removable ssd and he would need to transfer touch id button?
Whoever broke this got mad it won’t be supported by macOS Monterey.
Lol
probably will be with a patcher idk
dosdude1: acktually
@Gaming York ?
@@jhonjhon1740 We only see patchers up to Catalina on dosdude1's personal website, and Catalina is the latest and last version of macOS X.
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.
What a genuine and appreciative man, Joe is. You can tell he is so delighted with his new laptop.
Thank you from me because you are a amn with a big heart and that is rare today.
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.
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.
Yep that would be of interest!🤪
I’m always dissapointed when the thermal paste isnt replaced. Otherwise, nice job!
Same. I mean, he had it RIGHT THERE in front of him! How could you NOT replace it??? LOL
I would guess he did it off camera. Although it would be a bummer if he didn’t.
@@AlexsAnimals I am not speaking for Mac persay but the thermal paste is something that they could work on, ity has come a long way from tooth paste
Once again, my favorite kind of your videos is these repair vids. Here for it all, but LOVE these.
God guy it’s amazing to support your friends 💪🏻💯keep going this way
The iFixit kit for this comes with a whole new MacBook Pro and a trash can for the old one.
Genuine surprise and gratitude from Joe, great to see. Enjoy it!
great job Luke that was so kind of you
And that’s is why you are the best!! Congrats, Joe!!
Great and creative videos. Thanks Luke!
Good job as usual, Luke - but the added bonus of seeing your friend so happy with his new Mac was great.
this video is so satisfying to watch! thanks Luke
Wow, takes a literal beating and still boots up! That's amazing to see.
Wow!! Awesome fix Luke 😀
Such a positive and uplifting video. Joe looked absolutely over the moon to receive that gift. Just brilliant 👍👍👍
That's really kind for what you did for Joe.. We could all do with friends like you ! One Big Thumbs Up !
I don't know what I liked more. Your good samaritan efforts or the repairing of the MacBook Pro? Good work sir and I hope more blessings rain down on you. Especially with these acts of kindness. (:
Thank you very much for the video. I was really impressed by the intention of giving it to someone in need. Be Blessed Luke
Great video and Joe's reaction was priceless! Very generous, Luke. Very cool.
Such a nice touch with the giveaway man, congrats Joe!
It's amazing that I watch all these repair videos. Got a cup of coffee and watched like Luke has never done this before. Good video! Again it was fun IMHO.
This was sooo cool I love it. awesome work my friend.
That was cool!!! Subscribed just today!!! Love the repair/salvage videos
Thanks for the sub!
Luke is becoming MrBeast now, giving away stuff to people in need 😂
Luke have such a good heart ❤️! He made a good guy very happy, and in this video Luke's showed, how good people should care for an other, great job Luke, love❤your videos, thank you so much!😊
I love seeing these videos i’m restoring a late 2012 retina macbook pro currently 😄
Luke bro you the reason I love messing up with tech stuff without worries ❣️
Good work! Keep it going!
Extra bonus points for being a nice enough guy to give it away
Awesome restoration and glad to see that someone else is going to get a good usable laptop, which should last for many years to come.
love the happiness in his eyes plus love how appreciative he is when he received the gift
You are one of the best tech CZcamsrs of all time, I just love how you talk and how you edit your videos
Very cool you are helping out a friend.
Hey Luke, I was wondering if you have a detailed "step by step" video and/or description on just how you update the hard drives to SSD's including how to upgrade the OS? Thanks.
always a good pass time watching your Mac repairs
That’s awesome good job, Joe seemed very happy,.
This is how my laptop looks after I play cs go.
also geometry dash
Thanks, Luke!
Luke, that was a very nice thing to do, especially for a college student. Best of luck to you Joe, enjoy.
please these videos are so satisfying
Great work. You rock!
Just love consuming your video's Luke. Big shout out from India. You Video 's are very captivating and genuine.
Good On ya Luke. Excellent work yet again. How much different are these compared to a 2012 15" upgraded?
Another banger video. Keep up the good work Luke.
Love watching ur vids on my macbook
I still have this MacBook as well as my M1 and I love it
Good Luck Luke!
The new condition of that MacBook is so good to watch!
I just wonder if you forgot to re-apply the thermal paste? 🤔
Luke is literally real life Santa for Joe and who knows how many people
7:05 i never thought about that
This is not fixing the MacBook. This is replacing literally everything
Love your vids keep up the good work
I have noticed that the Magsafe port has a bit of some thermal layer to prevent overheating.I realised this after I cleaned it considering it "goop" and the port and charger got destroyed due to excessive heating
Really, Luke isn't restoring this Macbook Pro, he's just putting the logic board and fans into another body.
Simply, great stuff, got a like from me!!!! Many congrats!!!
Always good to give a guy named Joe a free laptop ;) Loved the repair and the ending was great!
I always enjoy your videos but the last part with Joe made me glad I'm a subscriber.
Awe man that was really nice of you:) if I’m ever in a financial place to do stuff like that I really wanna. That’s pretty cool.
Hi Luke,
I was wondering how hard it is to swap the logic board in a Retina MacBook Pro for a better one, and what device you would recommend starting with if I wanted to learn how to repair and upgrade Macs? *LOVED* the video by the way -- watching old content is _really_ fun!
Luke helped his buddy. Dope!
Nice repair 👍
New to this channel. Subbed. More repair/restore videos will be appreciated.
Awesome gesture! You made his day :)
Keep Joe in your videos. He is the best! Great video, thank you
woo another luke miani video
I have the same 2013 Macbook Pro, its a beast, I wish you could connect eGPU with it though!
Now you guys know, every time he fixes a MacBook he gives it to a friend name Joe
Joe who? Joe mama! (Lol, sorry. Could not resist)
@@elfedorausado It’s ok, it’s so unfunny it’s funny.
If rage quitting was around before rage quitting, this computer would take the cake.
Great video, you re genius
Great video with lots of info Luke, can you advise best connection to use from my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) to Dell monitor? Thanks for you time...
Luke is never late, he arrives precisely when he intends to!
wow... Thats what is being a great friend is all about... nice..
Great job
Its actually quite impressive how much of a beating these things can take and still work.
I am still waiting for the video where Luke shows us the dead MacBook and then states the question: "So, can we repair this Macbook?" and than says: "No". And it all just in 1 first minute and the other 10 to 15 minutes are just black screen with some background music lofi or chill or something. That would be the best prank, idea for April 1 btw.
Do you have a place to find these MacBook Pro Retina displays other than eBay? The pricing for the display is almost worth as much as my MacBook Pro. I have this same laptop and my display is partially broken with lines running through it. Was wondering if you had any idea or connections to find retina LCD displays that would work?
Great Video Luke! Keep it up brother, I follow all your content and I appreciate your videos.
This is the same higher end late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15” Intel i7 quad core dedicated graphics I have. Seriously, this is the best high end MBP Apple built with 16 MB RAM and a 1 TB SSD drive. Mine is in mint condition running MacOS Catalina. It can natively boot Big Sur. Its a computing powerhouse.
That was very nice of you to give joe a new MacBook 👍🙏
Slowly making my way through all your videos
Nice one. One question how much did you actually end up spending to get the bits? I ask as I have a 15” with the retina that needs both new battery and screen as it’s started delaminating.
I know you collect them and probably have an entire storage unit filled with these things but it'd be cool to see some giveaways for sure! I know my grandparents are in need of a new computer and setting them up with something like a Mac where the chances of them screwing things up like they do with Windows are virtually nil would be sick!
You should make another video on the black MacBook. Maybe with a SSD upgrade and more RAM, possibly using a Dosdude1 macOS patcher or using the original OS with the new, completely up-to-date browser for old macs, Arctic Fox
If you played the last bit without the video it could easily have been mistaken for a marriage proposal 🤣
You're a good friend, Luke
Really like your videos.
The little connector on the back of the board is the plug of the keyboard backlight!
Isn't this more of a refurbishment? I love your videos!
I think it was cool what you did for your friend and I liked the video because i have tinkered under the hood of pcs but not a mac ever. I have always used pcs and my experience is only with Windows and Linux but i think this year i will take the plunge and get a Macbook Pro because i want to try Final Cut Pro. I am eyeing a 2016-18 15inch Macbook Pro touch i7 with 16 gig of ram and 256 SSD with Big Sir for a little over a 1000. Macbook Pro users out there will this work as my first mac daily driver and for video editing or what am i missing?
Now THAT’S a good friend! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awwww, way to go, Luke! Makes me wanna be your friend too, haha!
He didn't show the tiny little latches you flip up to release the keyboard and fan connectors. Very important, I wish I had known about that when I was working on my MacBook.
You and Hugh Jeffreys are miracle workers
I just subscribed for this. Good heart
