Lost my mind when the intro video came back

I worked at the Apple Store from 2008-2011 and saw that intro vid hundreds of times, and yet seeing it still never gets old

21:44 "subtitle text here" that got me XD

Real talk: That iSight ain’t even worse than modern MBP web cams.

The stairfoam design from the front looks like the design of the new mac pro 😱😱

I was literally deceased when that random "9" came scrolling up.

I love this kind of unboxing video, kind of makes me feel how far tech has advanced in just a decade.

8:55 “I don’t know why they don’t include these anymore” Mr Krabs: “money”

20:20 Definitely 2008 with the iMacs in the background 😂🤣🤣

Wow, This was the first mac i ever bought. Watching this i felt kinda emotional in a way. This machine was the first step in my transition from being an irresponsible child to being a music composer. Something I do for a living now. Only love for this machine.

I wonder if this baller in Brazil realizes that he made some kid in the US very happy today with his 3k purchase from 12 years ago.

I love the misspellings.

This man is genuinely in love with Apple.

Golden era of Apple. Loved that macOS intro :)

Luke tosses the pc and packaging to the side to adore the cleaning cloth... one of a kind my man.

9:25 HELLO from Brazil!!! HUEHUE

That MacBook Pro you are unboxing is the very first Apple MacBook Pro that I purchased. I'm now on my 6th MacBook Pro

I loaded Mavericks on my early 08 15 and it's more than useful still. I'm watching this in 1080p, on battery, with the brightness all the way up, and it's not even flenching. I'd rather use this, vs a 2020 chromebook.

That Styrofoam is really where they got the design for the new cheese grater Mac Pro

Honestly, that webcam is just as good as the 2020 MacBook Air’s!!!!

Nice find . I just bought an early 2008 off eBay. The laptop looks brand new and the battery only has 6 cycles on it. It arrived with a fully charged battery too, which was crazy.

You should do more iMovie ‘08 videos, that was absolutely glorious. Maybe a little series of reviews in that format? Could be fun!

Your face during the boot up screen was priceless 😂! That was amazing! Your joy was so pure.

Ahhhhh, man! I loved it Luke! This one was pretty special! Thanks so much for sharing. That old Macbook Pro couldn't have found a better home.

I got hysterical with the review! Genius! Absolute Genius!

15:12 again.. that first startup screen.. makes the experience that much more special.

Thank you for doing the mini video using contemporary equipment. It was a trip to see the video and picture quality as well as the visual styles. It took me back. Nice job on this.

That 2008 style review bit was so good!! And yes, you need to fully make the switch , for posterity of course

Unboxings of this specific computer were some of the first tech videos I watched on RU-vid. I don’t know if this is an official series, but I love this collection of opening-old-things videos. 👍 The title typos are spectacular. 9

Nostalgic! Ultimate Retro Unboxing!

Great vid Luke! I love your vids on these old products.

bro your editing an charisma has gotten so freaking good and I love it

I used that exact MB Pro daily up until 2015, when the faulty Nvidia GPU died. It was quite a powerhouse, if it wasn't for the bad GPU, I would probably kept using it for another year and a half. I bought it in 2009, for USD$850 in today's dollars. It was a great deal

Cool Retro Video of the 2008 MacBook Pro. All the Memories tahta came to mind. Thanks for sharing.

Apple Unboxing is absolutely the BEST experience bar none! No other company can surpass them.... Great video, really enjoyed it... Thanks Luke and Happy New Year!

Merry xmas to everyone Hope you all have a great holiday 😇🎉

His reactions are priceless😂 He is just amazed by everything lol😂👍

Awesome review !! I loved when the Os X welcome started !!! Good memories from the first time that I've installed Os X on a 2008 Macbook White! Thanks for all your videos! Best regards from Chile!

Omg that intro on the Mac brought back so many memories! All the different languages thru space!

That iMovie scene was AWESOME! Bruh this feels nice

This is by far my favourite MacBook Pro model, the design is timeless and still holds up well today. Also, this video was really good and quite funny - keep it up!

15:17 that startup intro was the best

15:48 his little face is everything here 😂

Im literally crying lol !!! Great trip down memory lane!

The video quality is superb. Did he get a new camera?

Just left a comment on the 17" MBP vid.. also amazing to watch. This was the (I think exact spec) laptop that got me through grad school and lasted me 6 years till I couldn't take it anymore and had to upgrade. Such a trip to see this after so many years. Thanks for the vid!

Great find! The keyboards on those and the PowerBook G4 that was before it are amazing.

The MacBook Pro from 2008 still looks better than most of the windows laptops from 2021...

20:10 reveiw by Cool Luke 21:31 Youtub! 21:43 Subtitle Text Here

Extraordinary !!!! ... Thank you very much again for sharing the experience of traveling through time! ... a huge greeting from Chile!

Most epic unboxing, its on a whole other level

I'm watching this on that exact year/model laptop. Weird and cool at the same time. Waiting for 16" M1 to upgrade.

That was hilarious, going back to the future 🤣 cool tho

This was my first MacBook Pro that I got when I was in 7th/8th grade and started my love for Apple! This computer lasted me years before the logic board finally died (I presume) back in 2013-ish. That Intel Core 2 Duo was certainly capable!

that intro was classic!!!

What a trip down Memory Lane! The Early 2008 MBP (albeit in the lower spec’ed variant) was my first Mac ever. So cool to see the whole experience of unboxing it for the first time again. Let me go and hit that “Subscribe” button.

22:22 Yeah... Switch! 4k video quality is overrated...

I remember buying my first MacBook Pro. Same one as yours, but smaller. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Time sure flies. (That POS lasted just over a year, btw, but the unibody that replaced it still runs fine after 10+ years.)

I really love the old style retro review.

these fill me with such joy

Here before this video become popular! ✌️

this is so crazy to see!! great video

You made this video a lot of fun to watch. Kudos.

Reminds me when plain rock edited his intro on a iMac g3

Fun fact: one of my friends still using one of theese

Typing this while watching and I can’t wait to see the start up video. The music, the graphics. So many memories. My first Mac was an iMac. Once I used iWeb to make my first website, I was hooked and my next purchase was this exact MacBook Pro. It was a great experience and ya gotta love that new Mac smell. Not the same today,

For years I maintained Mac networks and I remember unboxing these, along with all of the other various models - really good times. Thanks for the trip down limited memory lane!

I got out my early 2008 Macbook 15 inch just to watch this!

OMG this was my first MBP for college. Thanks for the nostalgia. Oh simpler times, how I longer for thee! 😩😩😩😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

first time in my life, i watched a 23min unboxing video and didn’t get bored for a single sec! luke brother you are good!👏🏻👏🏻

This was special to me. This is where it all started from me. This computer, and in fact iMovie and GarageBand in particular on this computer, got me where I am today. I absolutely love it, and sort of wish the design style of the computer and OS X would return. It looks fantastic to me still. And the little hibernation indicator it had where it would glow like it was breathing. It's legendary. I since went and got all sorts of Apples, old and new, including old PPC Macs and my 2020 iMac I'm writing this on, but this thing holds such a special place in my heart

Okay that old 2008 style editing sent me back to a nostalgic time. That was amazing

12:54 if you want to have a little ASMR

Wow you really geeked out opening this packaging Luke lol fun video

Great video. Crazy how the battery ballooned up.

15:49 Me when I waste all my money on an apple car!

Core 2 duo could still make an interesting Linux box

great video, I have the 2006version, I bought and repaired, now me and my partner have over 20 Apples from 1985 Mac to 2020 MacBook Pro. Thank you for your great content.

16:48…that smile…THAT DAMN SMILE!

Opening a Mac-nificent packaging with ordinary scissors... xD

14:00 is when he actually opens it... thank me later

that intro video is just 🤯🤯 I could not close my mouse when I looked at it 😲 and "Subtitle Text Here" really got me🤣🤣

The nostalgia 😭 i love the video so much

When you’re so early you can make the number of likes go up.

ÉÉÉÉÉÉ DO BRASILLLLL!

Keep making videos on these older Apple products. That 2003 Mac video got me hooked

Very cool video. The work and effort you put in videos, we the subscribers see that and appreciate that. When it comes to Macboos, this guy knows what he's talking about. Keep up the good work man. great channel, great RU-vidr. BRAVO

I’m fascinated by the unknown story of how you spend $3,000 on a laptop and then never open it.

Wow... If it came from Brazil, I can guarantee that a lot more than 3 grand was dropped in this thing. Very brave to not even open it. Made for an excellent video!

I am watching this on my new M1 MacBook Pro. Honestly, the video capabilities through that WebCam on the 2008 MacBook Pro really wasn't that bad for its time. The audio quality was pretty decent for back then even listening to it now if I will be honest. I really love the video and I hope to see more videos like this!

Wow so much memories! That was my first Mac back in 2008 and loved it.

20:30 9

I love how 12 tech looks like shit HP or Dell is selling today 😂

Omg the vintage iMovie RU-vid review is spot on lollllllll. All the misspellings and crappy graphics. That was perfect!

Okay, I also have a MacBookPro just like this one. It is an A1226 from early 2008, and I have had it for years. I have also upgraded it over the years and it is now max-ed out for peak performance. I have a 500GB SSD in it, a full complement of 6GB RAM, and fully loaded with every app I could possibly run, including the complete CS6 extended, full Microsoft Office for MAC, Google Earth, iTunes, iPhoto, etc. etc. . My DVD player still works. I can plug in headphones. Can go wireless or use an ethernet cable. I have been running MAX OSX Yosemite without a hitch for years with excellent speed. The only thing I had to change was one internal cooling fan, and a battery --- and this is over the span of 12+ years. This model was also the very last one before the Unibody was introduced ( so just like the one is this video). I am still running all Adobe apps on it without any special licensing. Also all Microsoft Apps, including MS Word, without any subscription fees either. This MacBook Pro has been an absolute workhorse for me ---- and I am a real horseman so understand that term well. I highly recommend this kind of MacBook as you can keep it running forever and only have some limitations when it comes to streaming or gaming. But since I don't use my MacBook for either of these things I have been very satisfied. I also have 2 other MacBooks, both A1286's... to me, the best ever MacBookPro's ever made ---- but my 1226A from 2008 is right up there with them. I am a professional graphics artist and have done endless projects on this MacBookPro on Adobe CS6 extended, without ever having to consider upgrading to Creative Cloud. Last word: If Steve Jobs was still alive he would not countenance the new Apple MacBooks that have no way for anyone to upgrade or modify their components ---- like adding a new SSD hard drive, or adding in additional RAM sticks. As you may have guessed... I am a big time MacUser here, age 71, and still loving my old Macs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Luke you are not alone.

This is completely and utterly random but dude...I just found out that you‘re 22?! I thought you were like 30 and I mean that in the best possible way.

another resealed product sold as "brand new"

loved this total nostalgia. did it have iweb in its ilife suite? my 2009 imac had it and i loved it. kind of wish they'd bring back some sort of updated version of it

16:23 When you press cmd-q you can skip that registration form and go directly to the account setup. Great video man! Amazing buy!
