Just a guess but they may be for the truly paranoid as they are the last from Intel without the ME black-box, and with a lean Linux (e.g. Void, or my new beau Chimera-Linux) probably work better than you’d think.
(and Now I’m thinking of digging out my old MacBook Pro 2,2 to see what’s what)
- Rinzler89 2y agoI know, I also use lean LInxues, but JS heavy websites and productivity apps will still be slower compared to modern machines, no matter what Linux distro you use, especially if you multitask a lot. Void Linux won't give your machine more GHz or TFLOPs or turn your HDD into a NVME, it'll just reduce the RAM and storage footprint compare to more feature rich distros, but your CPU performance in all tasks will stay the same.
- adamomada 2y agoMy old Macbook, has 2x2.2 GHz 64-bit procs and one of the OG Intel SSDs to replace the HDD – given it’s only sata3 but I have a suspicion it’s still good. I think I actually will revive it this weekend just to see for myself, all else fails it has a great big matte screen and excellent keyboard I could use for distraction free writing.
