Please subscribe if you like these kinds of videos, I do lots of Apple restorations, laptop reviews, and stuff around gaming in general.
Thanks :)
In this video, I'm going to be restoring a 13-inch Mid-2010 Unibody Macbook Pro. Naturally I'll be cleaning it, but I'll also test if it could be used in day to day life, and if it's a viable option for someone today.

MBP 2010 High Sierra 10.13.6, 16GB ram, 200GB SSD. Tested worked fine, on GIG wifi network. Gifted it to my folks. Would I buy one in 2024? Prob not.

No I wouldn’t buy one… turns out it won’t work with their current HP printer -High Sierra is too old.

Salvaged one of these out of recycling at work. Definitely needs an ssd and RAM upgrade. Probably just going to toss a linux distro (since testing it with one seems to work well). Never been a Apple guy but this machine is pretty sexy.

This piece of device could run to the latest macOS version support through OCLP Big Sur cause Monterey had issues on graphics..same like the 2011 models..mine had been upgraded to the Catalina Patcher due to its unsupported graphics but still can runs well under it in 2023.

Do you mind sharing how you installed MacOS on it? I am planning to get one from a seller but he says he can't get the bootable usb to work

@crimsontechyt 7 ай бұрын

It depends on the model, but on most models you can boot to a USB if you hold alt/option while its turning on. I just made a bootable usb on another mac.

I was thinking of purchasing a mid 2010 model off of Ebay. The plan was to replace the battery for a brand new one and swap the hard drive with an 8gb SSD. Do you recon AutoCAD would run on it or not?

@crimsontechyt 6 ай бұрын

The 2010 models are very lacking by today's standards. I think the shipping costs alone wouldnt be worth it :( Try to find a newer model locally or for a low price on ebay

Would recomment you to look for the MacBook pro retina early 2015.

The weird ram config it's because of the ram speed support of that Macbook, as long as you keep one of the og 2gb sticks, you can up it to 18gb of ram, running of course at 1333mhz, sadly for as much as I love that model, it's very dated nowadays, YT playback even at 720p skips frames constantly, being on High Sierra don't leave you much of a supported apps anyway :( I have one that even refuses to install the OS (I had to try with a distro and change it's model to either an older or newer) but it's cool to try projects like OpenCore or any Linux distro you feel tempted to try (likely to work better) or even MiniOS (Windows 10/11 heavily modified) The screen looks fantastic tho, and gets super bright for a 2010 computer in general terms

@crimsontechyt 8 ай бұрын

I didnt know that, interesting :o Yeah if this model had better specs, it def would've survived a little longer into the modern era. The rest of the laptop is really high quality compared to even the best budget laptops these days. (It is HEAVY though 🙃)

@@crimsontechyt Truly! That's why the 2011 is still quite capable to thrive in 2023 running OpenCore with a most recent OS :)

The i5 models are such a game changer for these machines, i love how long the 2011 and 2012 have survived

@@random-thing1 Oh no absolutely, I have a Macbook 12" 2015 and the change it's absolutely mind blowing, but for what the 2010's were, they still better screen than a lot of entry level model laptops

I also have give 2 MBPs a second live. Open Core legacy patcher will fix the outdated OS. By the way why you installed the new SSD/HDD without the screws?

@crimsontechyt 4 күн бұрын

Ooo i'll try it out! Yeah i installed it without the screws, but it's probably smarter to use them, so it wont rattle around in there

@bramvandenbroeck5060 Ай бұрын

I have a mid 2012 that has the same specs as my mom's 14 inch macbook pro, 1TB ssd and 16gb of ram :p yes it is old, but with opencore, these macs can run anything you want! En leuk dat je nederlands spreekt, belgie of nederland?

Damn, yeah looks like minimum specs havent changed much in 10 years :D Ik woon net op de grens, dus van allebei een beetje haha :)
