  • Welcome back to another video! In today’s episode we take a look at one of Apple’s lesser known MacBooks hidden in plain sight for years. Being able to run Mac OS X Catalina is a major selling point for used buyers, but how far can the usefulness of a 10+ year old Apple product stretch? Watch on to find out!

    Wow! This 12 year old mac has all the features I need to have for a machine so called `laptop`.

    I have a few of these 2012 MBP and love them. Still beautiful and super easy to upgrade.
    After upgrading them to 500GB SSD and put 16GB Ram, which cost about $60, they are great to put parallel and then older versions of Windows like 98, XP, and Windows 7 to be able to run older windows programs.

      That’s awesome! It’s nice how capable older programs are minus all the AI and internet connected blubber. Also nice is that the Ivy Bridge CPUs in these MacBooks are the last to support Windows XP natively which means you theoretically could install it as a standalone OS. I’m learning about more and more uses for these every day. :)

    HAHA! I'm watching your video on one hooked up to a Samsung monitor! Yes, I have a newer MBP but this one is my fav and it still does just fine.

      I have newer MacBooks too but I know long after they fail I’ll have this one to fall back on. You should see the huge PowerPC community that’s still using their old iBooks and PowerMacs for upwards of 20 years!

    Nobody wants this bulky piece of aluminum
