OK here's a deal - the day we overtake Apple in subscribers (they're on 16.9M), I will personally build the most powerful iPhone in the World....myself. 😎

The audacity to call the customer service is hillarious

18:13 the logo lighting isn't a waste of battery, it uses the cold cathode florescent back lights of the screen to light the apple logo. So there isn't any extra power being used to light it. Thats why OLED screens don't have that feature anymore.

The light up logo was actually SUPER useful for when your display didn’t light up for some reason, you could shine a light through the logo to see whether it was the display being off or the backlight.

Im actually impressed that customer service knew what this machine was and when it was produced, nice

camera man at 14:01 is a real one

If I'm not mistaken, the apple logo lighting up doesn't waste power. It uses the light from the display. If you shine a bright light on the Apple with the screen off, you'll see the light come through. Normally displays have a layer that prevents this.

That guy needs some extra credit with actually acting so polite and didn’t hang up after someone asking about a laptop that was before the 2000s 😂

The light-up logo was lit by the backlight of the LCD display, so they actually didn't use any extra battery. That's also why there could be a hotspot on the middle of the display: the sun could shine through it lighting up that spot. In my experience this only happened with direct sunlight shining on the logo.

18:50 The light isn't actually a separate source, it's just the back light from the display, which is also why the brightness changes based on your display brightness, so it didn't use up extra battery power

I never understood where people got the idea that the light up logo wastes battery. If anything it’s more efficient or neutral. It’s just the normal backlight for the screen, it’s not a separate light. That’s why it can create a hotspot in the screen in some lighting. Because you’re literally looking through the display.

I've been using a 2015 Macbook for practically all my life (as a teen), and never realised both how far the device has come, and how much more powerful and featureful it has become since the past few years. This is genuinely incredible.

At this point I'm convinced Arun can buy anything and everything he wants, if he wants it.

As a life time Windows and Linux user, buying a MacBook pro with M2 Max earlier this year was quite an experience. The performance is amazing and I've found that it's become my daily driver instead than firing up my noisy and heat generating i9 13900k gaming rig to use it for work and non-gaming related tasks. I'm quite impressed on where Apple has taken their laptops today.

12:30 I had one of those, and it is still the best-looking laptop I've ever had. I loved it so much. Used it for many years.

2016 Touchbar Pro User here. Replaced the screen and battery on it, planning to get 10 yrs out of it before replacing.

The lengths this man goes to giving us content is absolutely legendary. Hats off.

You have to admit, Jobs was a master at hype and selling a product. I miss that.

I am working on a timeline on these & you were the only reliable source. thank you

this video is so clean, well done very good editing

The fact that he's doing this high quality content for a long time and still not getting bored or reducing the quality says a lot about his passion.

You just took me down memory lane. I grew up working so hard to buy an apple computer. I was 12 and dug ditches, did landscaping to try and buy anything. I got a Mac Plus and especially had an obsession with the laptops. I knew every CPU in every model of computer they sold, even the printers at the time. And yes, everyone made fun of me

Incredible vodeo! Baffles me how dedicated you were in your task of buying and figuring out and presenting every single macbook ever while being so entertaining as well. LOVED IT!!

The 500c series had an issue where static electricity would build up on the motherboard, which could cause it to shut off like happened here. There’s a thin button on the back to de-static the board you’d need to hit once in a while on the later models, or you could hit Command-Option-Control-Power after leaving it unplugged with the battery out for 5 minutes.

Man went wayyy back in Mac history. Finding all that must’ve been crazy hard - hats off to you Arun ❤🎉

This is a fascinating video and just shows the staggering development of computers. It also takes me back, as thirty years ago and a teacher, I was second in charge in my school's science department and responsible for a lot of the equipment spending, especially technology. I was allowed to buy a laptop for my personal use and in a world of PCs, chose an Apple Powerbook 145B. It proved very useful, though back then, it scared me stiff commuting with it, carrying it on the tube and buses in its shoulder bag! My very first laptop I bought exclusively for my own use was in 1999. Yep, an iBook in the same blueberry colour as the one you got. I loved it but hated the 'handbag' appearance if you carried it by its built-in handle. My current laptop is a 2020 M1 MacBook Air. Happy days and thanks for the memories!

Hey Mr.whosetheboss! I love ur videos! I really enjoy them and ur humour takes my mind of difficult things! Keep going forward. Can u also pls do I bought every IPad ever! I would love that! Thanks for putting so much of hardwork into making these videos.

Fantastic episode. I've owned almost all of the machines you showed and you brought those joyful experiences to life, thank you.

This man managed to rickroll us on one of the oldest Macbooks in the world. Thats dedication we should all appreciate

Your version of entire Generation review is awesome ! Way to go with other Expensive Tech. Wish you cross 16 Million and beat Apple 😅

Mr whose the boss I hail from Nigeria am a kid I want to tell that when ever I watch your videos I get excited because they are so educative and interesting ,I hope I can be like you one day Thanks

This series is amazing, it's fascinating to watch you talk about something you're so passionate about. Can't wait to watch your channel grow even more!! ❤️

13:19 Arun Bringing Back The Old KZfaq

The Apple logo lighting up actually wastes no at all battery since it uses the screen backlight. That's also why there's sometimes a lighter spot in the middle since light can leak through the logo onto the screen.

The lit Apple logo on the back didn’t use its own light source, but instead just used the main LED backlight. Hence it didn’t drain any battery.

I like how he rickrolls us in basically every video

The sheer dedication it would take to do the research for this video and seek out all these computers is insane! Love to see it Arun

the apple logo lighting up doesnt drain any battery as it uses the backlight of the display as if you change the display brightness the apple logo also dims or brightens on the back of the macs screen

4:49 surprising that the agent knows that model

I worked for Apple and an Apple Centre in the UK in the 90's. I was a pre-press media specialist for a few years in central London and one of the things we promoted was the first and second laptops you see here. As well as the first ever colour laser printer, that was just A4 (oh Apple, you forgot the bleed). A lot of people simply couldn't imagine working on one back then. Many simply thought, why should I take my work home with me, or out of the office, that is my time. How times have changed!

That phone call to tech!!!!😂

18:15 the logo lighting up wasn’t a waste of battery. It was just clear plastic and the light was from the LCD…

I'm watching this on my mid 2015 MacBook Pro and this laptop still holds up really well. It has its flaws and is showing its age, but damn the longevity is a winner. I have friends who bought similar spec computers at the same time who are on their third or even 4th laptop in that time.

Superb video yet again , I love the nostalgia and reminds me of things and people not here anymore…well done and thanks

this is one of those history vids that you love

i’ve been a fan of this guy for around 4 years and he still hasn’t failed to entertain me.

His commitment to entertaining his fans- a true legend.

You missed the 5300/3400 series PowerBook and the first PowerBook G3 "Kanga". Also missing in your review are the PowerBook Duo series.

The MacBook Pro early 2008 model was my first Apple laptop and I will never forget the PREMIUM feel it had when first opening it after being a windows user for years. Never got back to Windows again.

“I’ve touched so many thick ones today.” -Arun 2023 20:02

3:07 That rickroll was too well thought

As a devoted Apple enthusiast, I must express that this KZfaq video stands out as one of the finest I've seen recently. The level of thought put into it is truly commendable. Witnessing the evolution of all the models from their inception was truly captivating. Consider me a new subscriber! 😉

Your out of this world. Hats off

This man’s dedication to make a great video is on another level. Thanks for missing great content!

got a second hand macbook 12" in 2018 for university and though it lags at times like adding animations to powerpoint but other than that it had been really smooth. i studied engineering and was tired of carrying my acer laptop which was so heavy and it got me through 5 years of uni. done so much coding and stuffs there and it's about to reach the end of its time but really loved the 12", wish they would make an update version. the size is literally perfect

The phone call to the help desk was worth watching this video 👏🏾😂

This is very interesting n you are so dedicated in your videos.... Keep it up Boss👍😁

MacOS 10 on the iBook is seriously impressive. The design looks shockingly modern for just how old it is. I've generally been a Windows/Android guy for most of my life (but I bounce back and forth and you should too because both are excellent.) But Apple has always had their finger on the pulse of design. When it comes to hardware and software/UI, Apple has been top notch in this regard. I have always appreciated Apples relentless focus on making things look beautiful and easy to use. It's that obsessive attention to detail that has made them the most successful, and by FAR the most influential tech company on the planet.

Love these kind of videos, they really tell a lot about how tech has evolved over the years that has led up to the point of us having such strong machines

i had a late 2009 macbook a few years ago when i was younger. i loved it *so* much. there were a lot of files on it that were really *really* important but one day my dad just got mad randomly and threw it away. 😭 but now i have a late 2009 imac running macos catalina and it still works great!

Amazing how the person on the customer service call actually knew quite a lot about the Powerbook 500.

I'm actually surprised he got a customer support agent that even knew what that machine was

My first laptop was the PowerBook G3 - I had the 333mhz version. After that I got the white 500mhz iBook G3 (had to buy and install the AirPort card separately to get the WiFi working). One model line you missed was the Duo - it was the first ultra portable which was so small it didn’t even have a floppy drive and there was a dock you could insert it into like a cartridge and provided support for media/enhanced GPU etc. was the MacBook Air of the 90s

I love your vids I already watched more than 50 percent of your vid keep up the good work

You and your teams just kills it. Your videos match the same level as MKBHD even after being super frugal with production values. Editing energy concepts are all top notch 🔥

I’m loving this series, the evolution of the tech is amazing to see all in one place

I'm just speechless by the quality, details and the educative parts of your contents, you're on a league of your own.

When Aaron makes his most powerful phone “Does it have a headphone jaaack?” “it pipes music DIRECTLY into your brain!” “I’d rather have a headphone jaaack.”

Gotta mention that the retina MacBook Pro improvements also apply to the last generation of unibody MacBook Pro’s.

Failed to mention that Apple, with the PowerBook 100 (1991), redesigned the laptop concept which is the one we still use today: moved the keyboard to the back and the display hinge to the back edge and centered the "mouse" in front of the user. Laptops before the PB100 (including the Macintosh Portable) had the keyboard in front, trackball to the side and display hinge in the middle.

While using bargain bucket PCs at home, it was the candy colored iBooks that were my introduction to Apple back in high school school; it just stuck with me and then upon being given an iBookG4 for going to college in '04 - that's when it became my personal computing choice. Yes, they have enormous (GIGANTIC) problems in how they do things, but I've always just enjoyed using their products more and am ok being within the ecosystem. This was a fascinating ride!

I used a Powerbook 145B in University. It was upgraded with the Bronze modem, which I think was a 2.4K baud(?)

the apple logo's light on the back of the macbooks is caused by the display's backlight. no extra battery consumption!

9:12 the 1999 iBook has a calculator but the 2023 IPads don’t lol 😂😂💀

mrwhosetheboss: 'i have put on so many thick ones today' AYO WHAT

The first Macbook Air was an engineering masterpiece

Very informative, nice!

Me watching this on a HP

20:10 woahhhhhhhh put those puppies away 💀

Man that 2nd laptop shown looks nearly identical to the very old dos laptop I had that my brother and I use to play Scorched Earth on. Think up until like 2015 or so it actually still worked, granted wasn't in best of shape(slightly damaged hinges, plastic corner damage, etc) but still ran perfectly fine or at least as much as you'd expect from an old laptop.

that call to service !!!! rocks

Love the effort he puts into his videos, and also always finding a way to rickroll us😂

small correction there. The logo that light's up doesn't use extra battery and is the same light from the screen. as explained below. It gets light from the backlight. The glowing Apple logo is not a light, but rather a window into the backlight of the display. The Apple Logo is illuminated from the rear of the display panel. The light from the display panel passes through Apple's logo, resulting in its illumination. Thank you for the work ! I love what you do !

The great thing about Arun is that he gives more info like how more powerful a system is

9:07 I love how modern macbooks look exactly like they did back in the day, I knew it looked pretty old-school but I didn't know it was this old-school

5:27 The Apple service guy was really patient, considering what Arun asked him...

I am so glad that he decided to include Psivewri footage. one of my favourite tech youtubers (tho he is still #1)

For me, in the 7th grade the iMac G3 came out and that was the start of my obsession with Macs. Then a year later they put out the iBook G3 and that's been my most coveted device since.

Your videos have gotten a lot more entertaining than they were a year ago. Keep up the good work:)

This is sick, good job Mrwhostheboss, you put in the most work I’ve ever seen in a channel.

It's a crime that they don't make laptops that look like the iBook anymore. The clear coloured plastic revolution was everything.

The original Mac Laptop luggage needs wheels to go with the handle.

14:43 AND THE CROWD GOES MILD 🔥🔥

This video was so cool! I just want to add some more info about the whole MacBook Air story. The first Air which Jobs pulled out of the envelope was very much high end in price, with a pretty bad spec sheet at the time. One of the best decisions Apple took was to reposition the Air as a cheaper alternative to the more expensive Pros, a decision they took for the second generation and continue to this day.

I still use my 2008 MacBook Pro. I love Apple you just have to call tech support and they will give you a disk to update it…I might be on the last update that it will allow however

There is a company that takes old iBooks and puts an iPad in the screen area so it looks old but operated like new

I'm in the hospital and i'm honestly so bored it is a little concerning. You just gave me a break from the monotony and made me ignore the slightly achy surgical wound. Thanks for always keeping us entertained and you do it with such a degree of positivity that you can't help get affected by it. You're like a digital antidepressant :)

10:00 - apple finally decided to flip their logo in 2001

Apple should have retained the clean design of the 2019 MacBook Pros while adding 4 or 5 Thunderbolt ports to each side for enhanced productivity and flexibility. I don't find the touchbars beneficial for productivity, so I'm fine with their removal in favor of regular keys. I like the thinner bezels and don't mind the notch. In addition, I believe Apple should have included both Face ID and a fingerprint reader in the MacBook Pros for user flexibility.
