The original Intel MacBook comes to mind as well
- released with the (32-bit) Core Duo processor in May 2006
- replaced with (64-bit) Core 2 Duo model in November 2006
It only was supported through to 10.6 Snow Leopard as 10.7 Lion went 64-bit only

- r00fus 5y agoMy parents owned (still have) an OG Intel Mac Mini - the box said "Core Solo". Seems like that was one of the few devices sold with that chip.
- jonplackett 5y agoI got shafted with a similar 6 month duff product - the iPad 3. Now that was a bad decision. The iPad 4 came out later that year, with about 4X better performance and a switch to the lightning connector too. I was so burned by that experience that I only bought an iPad again a month ago.
