Core2Duo Macs, depending on factors, may be able to run up to 10.13. Here is a collection of MacOS threads developed here on MR! Intel Macs can only run from 10.4 on up, with some locked out of even 10.4 or 10.5. On older versions of the MacOS, you will then have to hit "More Info," but newer Macs will take you into a window where you can explore what you have.

This includes "How much RAM," "What is the max MacOS I can run," or technical specs. ![]() Most "general information" questions can be solved by downloading the amazing app called Mactracker. And why spend even $800 if your old iMac or Mac mini has hardware that is 100% fine? I love me some M1/M2 Macs.This thread is made to be the go-to thread for anyone getting a brand-old Mac with a Core processor OR those that just wiped their old Core processor Mac and need help getting everything set back up. Yes, $800 for a M1 MacBook Air is a great value, but it's not a 27" desktop. Sure there were a few (hundred?) available weeks ago, but that's not a price that just anyone can get. No one is getting $300 M1 Mac minis at Costco anymore. Recycling it is actually wasteful.īecause Edge is Chromium-based, and has ChatGPT, it's actually a decent and modern browser. It works just like a modern Mac and the speed is completely fine. But there is literally nothing wrong with the CPU, GPU or screen. I definitely understand that maintaining code for old machines is not free, or even cheap. There is nothing wrong with this machine, especially for a kid or older user. I updated it to Monterey via OCLP, but even Monterey will lose official support next year. With about $200 in parts, it's a completely capable computer for browsing, media consumption, and light productivity work. I have a 2009 27" iMac that I 'rescued' from a friend that was about to send it to the recycler. (I'd still rather keep the $300 in my pocket instead of getting a new Mac Mini if I truly didn't need it, especially if the only reason to buy it is because Apple purposely didn't update their software, I mean this is just unethical of them, and this is one of the reasons why they are a 2 trillion dollar company, this is bad side of capitalism, the excess unneeded consumption (and not to mention the resulting e-waste, which is poisoning the planet, and also causing global warming by wasting energy to product extra unneeded computers), it is such a waste of money to spend money needlessly). I partly agree you, but due to my requirements that my computer be: mobile (I don't want to be tied down to my desk all day), and have a 15" (or bigger) screen (13" screen laptops are too small for most people), that only leaves the 16" MacBook Pro as the "entry" level Apple laptop nowadays (for me at least), which is where I got the $3,000 quote from, but I think that was a typo, the entry level 16" MBP is about $2,000, sorry about that.īut you do have some points, if you are willing to go with a desktop + monitor, or get a ultraportable laptop, the Mac Mini and the MacBook Air can be had for way less. ![]()
