I'm referring to the 2010 polycarbonate one here: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-white-13-polycarbonate-unibody-mid-201

  Nothing it’s a perfectly fine question, just maybe off topic.

  What you described as a transition to plastic for the MacBook was actually the final iteration of a fairly long line of plastic MacBooks, most of which were a pretty similar design to the pre-Intel iBook. "MacBook" (not Pro) was plastic from the start, and introduced the same year as the MacBook Pro (always aluminum): 2006. The plastic MacBook was discontinued after the 2010 model. There was a one-off aluminum 13" MacBook in 2008, but it coexisted with the plastic MacBook and was not replaced by a plastic model—instead, the 13" model was promoted up to the MacBook Pro product line, which previously had been just 15" and 17". After several years of not having a plain MacBook, Apple did the 12" aluminum MacBook from 2015 to 2017. It was basically what they wished the MacBook Air could be, but was too expensive and too thermally constrained to truly replace the MacBook Air of the time. It was killed when they finally upgraded the MacBook Air to have a Retina display.

    That solves the mystery, the one off aluminum "regular" MacBook that I bought. Thanks for this, excellent .
