Titanium made probably!

I'm going to start using it on dating apps.

Omg yes!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Don't we all?

Bruh, congrats on still being together. Cheers ^^

@@thedduck thanks duckbro! :D

What a beautiful story, congratulations ✨🙌🏻

It was probably an excuse to get to know you. Really nice to hear stories where the woman make the first move.

Only 9 grand!!

Yet everything had a headphone hack huih? lol

And yet, my 2015 MacBook Air came with inch thick bezels. I'd love it if the MBA had the same width, but with a bigger (possibly even 16:10 or 3:2) screen.

@@simonro9168 the pbg4 was 8 grand

Thin bezels are overrated by country miles, work in a repair shop or on the side as a hobby fixing machines and you'll eventually learn to love something more durable.

Damg that was almost $50k in laptops at the time

I miss the renovable batterie...

All that stuff apparently was dropped simply to make the machines thinner and lighter, which to me is stupid. But then, if Apple brought back that upgradeability, they wouldn't make as much money from parts and service sales... Of course it doesn't matter to them that the corporation is already worth more than a trillion dollars. Serviceability is one major reason why I still use a MacBook from 2012, as that was the last laptop model that had upgradeable RAM and storage, not to mention a fairly easily replaceable battery.

@@zBrainlezz Not sure how upgradable they'd really be able to make them nowadays with them using ARM based processors. Don't think I've seen an ARM based system with the possibility to upgrade RAM before.

@@nathansstuff1547 Yeah it was a deliberately hostile move right up until the ARM SOC came along, where the RAM is part of the same chip and increasing the RAM means literally producing a new SOC with new silicon - but having it integrated is also a big boost to the performance and efficiency so there really is a benefit unlike soldered RAM on traditional systems that are just a few mm thinner for no tangible gain

@@nathansstuff1547 there are a few arm boards that use standard so-dimm modules, but most of them are either devkits or made for specialized network equipment, which is quite a shame...

Also, do not cover the wifi antenna. That's Antennagate season 1. Season 2 happens shortly in the future...

@ConsoleHandheldGamer, did you learn it the hard way?

For me, it was the plain ol' iBook G4. A dream I was able to fulfill just last year, since the price went way down since the early 2000s.

Seems like you liked computers that fell apart 😆

I think you might have wanted to say user-swappable. Hot-swappable means it can be replaced while the machine is powered up and in use, which you can easily do with something like a mouse or a USB drive on a modern laptop. Before the era of USB, adding peripherals to a computer usually required the machine the be rebooted, so those devices were not hot-swappable (e.g a PS/2 keyboard), hence why a distinction was made. Getting back to batteries, most laptops that had user-replaceable batteries did not support hot-swapping the battery (when plugged in, otherwise removing the battery in use would obviously kill the machine). I recall I had a Dell laptop that supported up to two batteries (one could be added in lieu of the DVD drive) and the manual explicitly said to always power off the machine before adding or removing the batteries. I assume the power controller could not easily deal with a large change in load as a battery was removed and you risked frying up the internal circuits of the machine.

Stefan Stan weren’t the batteries in the G3 hot swappable, since there could be two of them, and you could switch one at a time?

They still do, the Rugged and Semi-Rugged laptops from companies like Dell, Toshiba, Getac, etc.

@@SSW2503 yeah, that's what I meant, thanks for clarifying. I don't really like how some devices (almost all phones) are really cumbersome to repair.

@Abhishek Harge which isn't necessary today.. But there are some laptops from Lenovo are hot swappable

Why did he say they were fragile then?

@@momsberettas9576 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@momsberettas9576 Probably just how it landed. My second gen iPad Pro 12.9 has fallen onto concrete, wood floors and grass lawns and it's still going strong. The iPad it replaced, a first gen iPad Pro 9.7, fell onto the same piece of concrete and its screen is completely destroyed. I also had a similar scenario with two phones, one a Samsung Note 8 with a case and screen protector which had its display completely destroyed by a six-foot fall onto concrete and the other an iPhone 12 mini that has fallen a similar distance onto concrete with no case or protector and still looks as good as the day I got it.

@@1magazine eh, I kinda like the Aluminium PB better IMO

@@jockeyjeon9532 Same here, I still use the 2010 MBP. But a lot of laptops still look like the Titanium. Or at least did as of couple of years ago. Guess right now aluminium-like sleek designs are the current trend.

nope it was just different times, was pretty much expected.

Nowadays apple is not only politically progressive, but DIGITALLY PROGRESSIVE. about 5-10 years ago They had removed most headphone jacks, disc/cd/rom drives, usb ports, ethernet ports, hdmi ports, vga ports, and other stuff from thier products. And as time goes on, it gets worse. Why? For 2 reasons, 1:money (so people can buy expensive airpods and shit) and 2, "digital progressivism" (just coined a term) digital progressivism is a bisnuesss ideology where you get rid of all so called "obsolete" features that many people still use because they work and thier cheaper than wireless (such as ethernet ports, headphone jacks, usb ports, vga ports, etc) and leave your computer with 1 hdmi port and usb port, and no headphone jack. It has happened to various apple products, iphones, ipads and enspecially macbooks. All it the sake of "digital progressivism", money and minimalism. imagine an ipod having no headphone jack and u had to be FORCED to use airpods! Its like the people that scream at you for wearing something that is "out". The bad thing is, some windows computer manufacures are doing this too. This is why some people are using old pcs running softwares like windows 7 and even goddarn windows xp in 2023, becuase they dont wanna sacrifice their compatabillity for radical modernism. How many pcs STILL have the compatabillity that older ones have in 2023? Well we have Most windows pcs, with ethernet ports, multiple usb ports, and are still as thin as macbooks. thats why windows is so popular, because windows pcs are good computers (except when bill gates forces you 2 update.) and then the panasonic toughbook, a pc that looks like it was made in the windows 95/98/2000 era, which has all the ports that older pcs had, and everything i mentioned that appl removed from thier computers. the body style of the computer had pretty much never changed, and it looks like its 20 years old. But theres one problem about it. they cost 1,000-7,000 dollars. Expensive as shit. why cant we have modern, fair-priced/cheap computers with all the ports pcs in the 90s and 2000s had? Because bigcorp dosent listen to thier customers. goddamnit a mainline laptop made during the windows 95/98/2000 era has more compatabillity than a new macbook. which by todays standards a pc running windows 2000 is an old hunk of shit thats only useful for internet browsing and doing work. Same with a new macbook. #Macintrash

Same

👍 It's an accurate analogy

But... Is the CD drive in the power book G4 a Rinsing or a Filling Machine?

@@CathrineMacNiel Great question

this is where the trend started for sure. The last one in my eyes that's even a bit user serviceable far as their laptops go is the Unibody 13/15in Mid-2012 Macbook Pro models sold upto 2016. I have one I got for free from the recycle last year, and the most pain the ass thing was finding the parts I needed like a HDD flat flex cable(there are 4 or 5 different ones depending on model#, and when it was made), and replacing the hinge clutch cover which I decided not to do, and to cover the small cracks with black electrical tape, as a replacement is upwards of $60 USD.

@@CommodoreFan64 I dunno man, 2012 models are notorious for its GPU failure. Never should've picked up from the trash from the first place.😬

@@jockeyjeon9532 I actually have a 13in(they usually don't have problems with the Intel I-GPU), It was free with the Magsafe charger, and in overall good shape, but if it does die I don't care I'll just sell it for parts at that point as I'm not really an Apple person(it's the only modernish Apple product I own), as I have a small collection of Lenovo Thinkpads I've restored over the years I grab majority of the time when I need a laptop that I have Manjaro Mate Linux, or Neverware Cloud Ready OS Home Edition(Chromium OS) installed on them depending on my needs, and how heavy of a load I want to carry, or have on my lap while sitting on the couch, and I just keep my 90 watt Lenovo PSU plugged in ready to go.

@@CommodoreFan64 Sounds like you got a lot of computers. Whatever you do, please don't become a tech hoarder. It's not healthy.

@@jockeyjeon9532 You seriously need to get a life if you are worried about someone else's small collection of computers.

Right. Apple computers are shit

Damn that sucks. It looks so good I guess people going nuts about the 2016 MBP were wrong that Apple was always better

I wish i could be on your dev team

@@fargeeks not anymore. 1 year later Apple computers are as fast as gaming computers.

M1 Max, Ultra, etc and all the durability, perfect displays, retina & speakers is top tier these days.

This is why I like Lenovo Thinkpads from the past decade, as if you have patience, keep eBay searches out for he models you want, they can be had at good prices, they are overall easy to work on, and upgrade, they have the most common ports you will need in day to get your work done, they generally have good support for most Linux distros if you don't want to use Windows, and they don't scream LOOK AT ME gamer bling, well unless we are talking about some of their higher end Legion series, but even then most of them are subtle about it.

I agree, I don't understand this relentless drive to make laptops thin enough to slice a tomato.

@@user-ty2uz4gb7v I'm the same way with phones, and tablets as well.

I know, right? Why would I want the option of adding ports using a lightweight dock that I can throw into a bag? I would much rather haul the ports around all the time in a device that's twice the thickness and 3x the weight.

@@tim3172 they don't have to be 3x the weight, to get the ports built In just go look at Lenovo laptops, or even Acer has been doing it for years even on their budget range of Aspire laptops.

That shows the higher quality of older Apple products very well.

@@robertplayz9157 no, it shows how slowly they die, many if not all the beige macintoshes are rotting away due to leaky caps and faulty scsi drives, the g5 machines are slowly burning themselves to death due to too much heat from the cpu or they end up getting water damaged if they had the liquid cooling system and of course the Tibook had its issues of pretty much disintegrating, i think the only apple computers from pre 2010 that are safe are the ibooks, macbooks (all kinds), mac pro, mac mini, g4 and intel imacs, the powermac g4 (graphite) and the x-serve.

Other companies do that all the time, it's nothing mind blowing. It's usually a hatch on the underside of the laptop, and often the keyboard is removable and replacable. It's not as common as it used to be but I'm typing at you right now from a laptop that has had its keyboard swapped out for one with a different layout and has a hatch on the bottom where the RAM, SSD, and HDD can all be easily swapped out, and said laptop was purchased in 2019.

@@dizzym9554 Insightful. Thank you. I follow the gaming laptop market pretty closely but I haven't seen anything like that lately. Hoping to see more if it in the future.

the 1ghz model is also notable as being one of the few apple computers that can officially dualboot leopard and os9

Those 7-pin connectors are backwards-compatible with standard 4-pin S-Video cables.

@@leandrotami How old?

Apple stuff was highly user serviceable well into the Intel years. Just because you’ve got relatively little experience with them doesn’t make it unusual.

@@BlownMacTruck Pretty much after they sealed the battery into damn near everything, I've labeled them as unserviceable.

@@hattree *shrug* Putting aside that most quality laptop manufacturers have gone this route, it’s not like this is something not recent, like you insinuated.

It is a weird choice considering they didn't really bother matching it to the other finishes used!
