The white plastic MacBook was an iconic part of Apple's lineup, but this one was it's last hurrah. The final redesign of the white MacBook for mid 2010 was hugely popular, and I managed to find one that's still brand new and sealed in its original box more than 11 years later. Despite their popularity, these MacBooks were plagued with durability issues; but today we get to see one brand new and shiny in all its original glory!

They won't be rounded and plastic, but the plastic and white keys should really contribute a lot to making them look similarly friendly.

the confusing thing about it is that it might look premium, but it's the quality of the material. If they could achieve the same look but make it more durable then it would be more premium

@Jushwa 2 года назад

Fun fact about these, they actually introduced that aluminum “L shape” MagSafe charger with that model MacBook, while still shipping the white plastic “T shape” MagSafe charger with the aluminum unibody MacBook Pro.

Really love these "brand new" from the last decade Mac videos! Since you've already unsealed them and consequently made them "ordinary new" vintage Macs, IMHO only logical step is to use them for more videos! The best case would be maxing out the specs and upgrading all possible internals - even CPUs for models that support it! I think that iFixit would gladly sponsor it, and big views are guaranteed! Please Luke consider it doing. Cheers!

But I think I appreciate the MacBook because it was the first computer I interacted with. This was a nice surprise, thank you.

I used to use these Macs in elementary school and middle school that the district replaced in 2015. I have 2 of my own that I still use to this day that are running an SSD and 10GB of RAM. One with 10.14 using the Dos Dude patcher and one running nativly supported 10.6. Like Luke said these macs will run up to 16GB of RAM, but from my personal experience, they seem to perform better with 10GB of ram instead of 16GB.

@markm0000 2 года назад

I think the reason why it got nasty for students is because of the dirt and grime on classroom desks that stuck to the rubber. They would also set it down outside on the grass and concrete. You’re not really thinking about preserving a cheap MacBook when studying for a degree.

These white polycarbonate clamshell MacBooks are probably one of my favorite Apple designs, period. I bought one of these in 2010 as a replacement for the white first gen Intel MacBook I’d been using since the summer of 2006. With 4GBs of RAM it was the perfect laptop to finish out college and ultimately got replaced with a MacBook Air in early 2012 when I started a new job. And yes, they did look this shiny when purchased new. And mine didn’t look half bad even after 2 years of use. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

@markm0000 2 года назад

If you haven’t upgraded it that should keep it going for quite a while longer for your light workload. Take it to a repair shop they can get the battery replaced, SSD upgrade, Memory upgrade, and maybe get a faster CPU in there as well. I think you can even get one of the newer versions of MacOS on there as well. It shouldn’t be more than $500 or so with labor.

I'm glad you did this video. I picked up a highly-coveted unibody MacBook in a stack during a school auction 2 years ago. When I saw the unibody I put the others away and set about cleaning up and upgrading the unibody. To my surprise it was in fantastic condition and had minimal cosmetic issues other than the dirt magnet bottom cover. Other than needing a replacement battery, an SSD, and High Sierra, it was good to go. It even had 4 GB RAM already installed. To this day I keep it in a drawer and pull it out for nostalgia's sake, though it is still remarkably usable.

It's 2023, I have just watched this video giggling, having just seen it on the exact Macbook you've just unboxed. I bought mine brand new, back in 2010 for £750 ($950), and the machine is still going strong. However, it is not the original. It has had a new white shell, new motherboard, new screen, new trackpad, new harddrive, a least 3 batteries, and as for the bottom, the rubber came off completely and I now have just the metal plate there, with some black foam feet. It's had been used everyday of it's life. Nowadays, it lives on my desk and stays there, too fragile to really be moved. However, as a amateur author, it is a fantastic writing laptop. For my out and about laptop, I bought and refurbished, a 2010 macbook pro that was sold as the same time as this for about £70 or $100, and I like these old machines, because they are before the time before Apple glued everything in and could be entirely dismantled with a screwdriver. Parts are easy to come by, making them easy to repair. And yes, they are very shiny when new, but as my white mac proved, never give up on a machine.

Still got my mid 2010 white MacBook, 2.4Ghz Cor2Duo P8600 with an upgraded Intel 520 SSD and 8GB of PC3-8500 memory. Replacement battery by Apple in 24/01/11 still holds 5082/5770 design capacity. Lovely bit of kit

yep, I used those macbooks in school too. Fast forward 10 years and I have just bought my first ever macbook, the m1 macbook air. I have always like the mac OS (despite my lacking experience) and now I have been able to justify purchasing one (the sheer power of the m1 being owed most thanks). And now I am in the mac rabbit hole on youtube.

My first mac was a white iBook G3 that I bought new in 2003. It continued to have problems with the video chipset, and after 3 years, Apple replaced it with an iBook G4. I really liked the iBook, and it was cool to see the design language last so long. After the iBook, I've always had Mac Mini's, but I still have a little bit of nostalgia for the acrylic cases. Also, the opening on Snow Leopard was awesome to see again!

Still have it as my first Mac and use it every once a while nowadays, the late 2009 model MC207 with the box also. Changed the battery and the charger, swap HDD with SSD and it boots around 21 - 22 seconds. Fan kicks off when plays RU-vid in 1080 but doing fine with 720. Still a viable and competent browsing machine though. What's crazy about it when still using Snow Leopard, I got like 8 hours of battery life doing work in 2010 back then which was unheard of at that time. Good ol' times.

Omg that was so weird at the end haha I love it. Thanks for the video 😊 that’s cool how similar this MacBook OS looks to my 2012 MacBook pro that I still have.

I remember sitting in the Apple Store with an employee unboxing my first Mac (the May 2009 normal white MacBook) and watching that Mac OS X intro video... call me sad if you may, but it was one of the most amazing memories from my upbringing!

Oh man, i got my first Macbook Pro around mid 2009. What a great bit of nostalgic! I really loved that design from back then to be honest!

The intro videos were so exciting to see, I loved it as a kid.

I support macs and have been in my role for a long time: Love the videos and just wanted to say a big thank you for all this hard work!

The Mac OS X intro video was always great to watch when setting up a new Mac. Replaceable battery, upgradable RAM and HDD/SSD all the ports .... nice machine

My school had these for years, and constantly upgraded them and fixed them to keep using them, they gave us these around 2014, but boy were they scratched and the bottom was more grey than white, the battery in mine ended up bulging to the point it may explode, it had pushed up the track pad and all. Isn’t that amazing to see that macbook turn on that hasn’t even been touch since factory

This has to be one of the most entertaining unboxings I’ve seen in a while!

@skylerkimball9817 2 года назад

I am using a 2010 Unibody right now! Comparing this to my 11 inch 2013 MacBook Air, The screen is significantly better, and the upgradable storage will make this machine not bog down as much with over 20+ chrome tabs. The Air has 4 and always will, and I hope to upgrade this machine to 16 GB!

I really wish they’d never discontinued the intro videos… I still remember buying my first iMac with snow leopard on it, and unboxing it at my grandparents and the look on their face as this video played it was such a cool experience

We didn't have these ones at my elementary school. We had the previous ones and I remember being obsessed with them! I also remember when we got the white plastic eMacs upgraded from the older iMacs and everyone was so obsessed with them.

Love the retro type videos. My kids have new M1 MacBooks for college but the ole man, aka me, is hanging on to my early 2015 MacBook Pro. Sure, I upgraded the hard drive and she still edits video very well, I do wish LumaFusion would work. Great stuff, keep it up.

@georgeogden1277 2 года назад

I bought a 2010 MacBook last year and love the design. It had the original battery in it, which had only 18 charge cycles! The case is in very good shape with a few minute scratches. Even the rubber pad on the bottom is in good shape. The MacBook has been upgraded with a 240 GB SSD and 4 GB of RAM, which is plenty for what I use the MacBook for. It's too bad the polycarbonate case is so impractical, I like the design much better than any of the other MacBook designs. I'm now looking for a good example of the black polycarbonate MacBook at a reasonable price.

this was the macbook of my childhood, my mom used to have one of these and i vividly remember playing games on it, watching netflix, i think i spilled something on it at one point which made one of the key sticky, but it survived! i recently refurbished it and sold it, but the memories of that computer will surely live on!
