I still use my 2008 white Macbook, running Snow Leopard. The battery is crap, but it stills runs many (older, non-supported) softwares great. I use mostly a couple of Linux machines now. The only thing that keeps me popping the thing open now and again is Ableton Live, but I've been meaning to give Bitwig a shot. So, it might get retired for good soon.
- Yhippa 10y agoMine has been relegated to the bin of forgotten hardware at my house. The plastic where your wrists rest keep breaking off and stabbing me. Battery doesn't hold a charge even after being replaced. Slow as a dog and can't get the latest OS updates.
- stuartd 10y agoMid-2007 white MacBook here, 2GB RAM, SSD, on it's third or fourth battery. Running Lion. DVD drive died long ago, plastic on the front split after a couple of years but has been stable ever since. Been used every day of it's life by me and my kids (who were 3 and 1 YO when I bought it). Although now I am the only one who uses it. The main problem now is finding a browser that's supported and updateable - Chrome gave up ages ago, and FF48 is the last version to support Lion. Hates Flash though so I've long uninstalled that.
- wyclif 10y agoI still use mine as well. Mostly because SL is OS X done right. It's super stable compared to the newer versions of OS X. I never have to restart it. Of course, the caveats you mentioned are still in play. But I do most work in iTerm2 and Firefox, so it's fine for that.
