Is the Polycarbonate MacBook still good in 2020?
In 2009 and 2010 the polycarbonate white Unibody MacBook was Apple’s budget MacBook, and it was hugely popular. But how does the 2010 white MacBook hold up 10 years later? In this video we’ll see how well the MacBook performs and see if you can use it in 2020!

My 2009 white macbook died a little after 2 years lol but my 2011 unibody macbook pro is still going strong!
The "How it's made" part was really amazing 😂😂
I still have a 2009 polycarbonate unibody MacBook that I bought a few years back off eBay really cheap for under $100; it lacked a charger cable and an internal hard drive, so I put a 256 GB solid state drive into it and upgraded the RAM from 2 to 8 GB to use as my "on the go" computer (like at my college campus or at conventions or whatnot.) I really like the modular unibody design inside and how it's so easy to upgrade and modify on the inside. It still runs pretty well, but I do soon plan to get a more modern Mac laptop (maybe the Retina MacBook Air, which currently fills the position that polycarbonate MacBook used to) so I can use the current Mac OS, since my 2009 MacBook only supports up to Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra. Plus I'll want Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 capabilities (with the Retina MacBook Air I can just get one of those nifty USB-C hubs to plug into one of the Thunderbolt 3 port.s) But I'll still keep my 2009 MacBook around for running older 32-bit applications on if need be (until then I might actually attempt that Catalina upgrade patch, and I can always roll back once I get a newer Air or something.) Otherwise my main computer is my 2012 quad-core i7 Mac Mini with 16 GB of RAM, which is definitely more speedy and responsive than my upgraded 2009 MacBook, which already runs pretty well for an older model.
That polycarbonate unibody MacBook also lacks an SD card reader and a FireWire port compared to the 13" MacBook Pro; but if I want to import images from an SD card I use an external USB card reader, and I only use older FireWire devices in my home with my quad-core Mac Mini (if it were a much more modern Mac desktop I'd use a FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adapter.)
Omg 😂😂😂I love how it’s made … you should do that show too !
A friend of mine told me he might give me his aunt's old black polycarbonate MacBook for my vintage device collection and I honestly can't wait
I'm actually watching this video on a mid-2010 MacBook.
I also upgraded the HDD to an SSD and installed 8gb of RAM a couple of years ago and I do agree that it's still a great laptop (I should buy a new one, tho, that gpu and cpu limitation it's rough).
I had no idea about the Catalina patcher so thank you for that!
After watching this, I feel like my 16 mbp 2016 can still use for author 5 years……
Where can I get 8GB of RAM for $20? Also would you recommend a 500GB hard drive?
I am doing This on My Late 2009 21,5“ iMac let‘s See if it runs Great
im watching this on a 2019 mac pro
edit: and a alienware laptop
When you wanna test a MacBook by buying it cuz you can't test at JB- Hi-Fi
I have this MacBook and am using as a backup right now….do you have to update the RAM and the hard drive? Or will the RAM, for instance, make a difference on its own? I don’t know too much about this but I’m trying to get it running faster. I just updated it to El Capitan and it is already struggling 😅
Did you get permission to use the “How it’s made” theme music?
After watching this video I purchased some ram ($20 ea) and will try to download the mojave workaround.
Thanks!
Mmmm I'm not sure if this update is good or not… I updated to Catalina right now, but the ignition times went from 30 seconds to 2 minutes! Also I lost the blur of the log screen background that I loved, only for the dark mode and the slightly more updated apps !? PS: Ok the system once started works well… But ….
Just done this to my mid 2010 MacBook best thing ever able to update all my apps brilliant
Can you please upgrade the insides and make it a sleeper 2020 MacBook killer? That would be dope!
Thanks for VIdeo, what you think, does this laptop will make Photoshop Basic tasks?
my friend still has this MacBook😂
In 1st grade we had these laptops but that was in 2013 but now we have dells and they suck.
Snazzy labs did one similar upgrade!
Does updating with the catalina patcher erase all user data? Also for future updates of catalina can they simply be made from the app store or do they need a new installer via the patcher?
i still remember when i started school and they had these o-o
You might be able to retrobright that bottom rubber back to white.
Oh my gosh. This guy is acting like he is on how its made with this MacBook lol. Can u run Adobe Premiere pro on this MacBook since u where able to update to the latest?
It looks cool as hell that's for sure
Hey luke!!!!!
Can you get your hands on a 2008 aluminum MacBook and do a video on it and weather this can be used in 2020 thanks man.
That’s not the oldest…
Just wait 25 years and these will sell for 1.5k each for being trendy and retro
First time viewer and the first thing that caught my eye was his eyes. Wowz.
Still using my mid2010. 8 GB RAM, SSD
in october 2008 was my 18th birthday, for a long time i wanted the black macbook and my family was going to get it through a family friend, that deal fell through and the uni body was released. So i got the brand new unibody in november… and that was the first and last time i ever had a brand new computer lol
Because of this video, I just bought one
I’m in Highschool and I want an older Mac book so that I don’t have to spend so much on it does anyone have any websites that are reputable?
I love this design.
