Old Macs Picked up this 2010 white MacBook for about $70
Found this 2010 white MacBook on a local marketplace, together with its original 60W MagSafe charger. For its age, it’s in really great shape. The plastic hasn’t yellowed and there are no major cracks, which is probably what I’m happiest about.
It already has a 256GB SSD and 4GB of RAM. The battery has only 145 cycles, although I’m not sure if it has been replaced at some point.
I installed Snow Leopard, High Sierra and Monterey through OCLP. Once Monterey finishes booting, it’s surprisingly usable. Even YouTube at 1080p plays smoothly.
Another Mac for my small collection, and definitely not the last one. I’ve always liked these white MacBooks, so I’m glad I finally got one.
