The reason Austin loves the 2013 Mac Pro is because when his apartment burnt down, a bunch of tech youtubers came together and gifted him one. It was a super heartwarming video and I recommend you watch it.

12:57, that's a spot on advice for buying an ipad. I bought a 2017 ipad pro 12.9 gen2 in 2019, I'm still using it today and it works great. Use it for notes, videos and browsing when a laptop isn't needed and if it weren't for the touch screen issues that came up recently, could easily get a few more years out of it.

@alextirrellRI Жыл бұрын

Almost every Apple product I've had has basically been a hand-me-down or purchased used -- 5 years old is kinda the sweet spot for price and longevity. You can usually squeeze a little more life out of them past that (Ex. OpenCore Legacy Patcher, older app support on iOS, etc) but before long you start needing/wanting more features and better performance.

Also fair. I just know on my iPad it has the imei and “genuine apple product” which is technically illegal to sell due to some court crap awhile back if it goes through customs and says genuine apple product or has the logo it has to be royaltied or confiscated. But also referbs generally aren’t allowed within the apple care program despite how new the device may be.

The Ipad air that you got. the smooth mark is actually from a Laser etching machine wich they must have used to take away or hide any "anti-theft" markings or the marking of someone's name on the device. the same kind of laser wich is used to take away the back glass panel on Iphones can be used for the same thing.

Those engravings were laser etched into the back for some reason so unless they swapped the shell, they weren’t getting it off.

I got an 27” iMac in 2013. Back when you could still access the ram on back. Right before the 5K one or whatever they came out with that was higher than 1080. I fully upgraded everything I could when I ordered it and guess what, that thing is still going strong. Cost me $3000 then but I’ve definitely got my moneys worth. It’s not slow or anything yet. It’ll be sad when it no longer works well. I still have my 160gb iPod classic and it’s going strong. Have an 80gb that’s iffy. Might mod it to use micro SD and expand the storage. Shame that beautiful tech just isn’t practical now with my AirPods or car or whatever. Plus my iPhone holds more than it anyway.

It’s a bit better if you used a device around that time as you can reinstall older versions of apps if you previously had that version installed.
