The $200 MacBook Pro Surprise #Helpful Post

oh my gosh this is Minerva you guys

johnathan here and welcome to the $200

MacBook surprise

 

so meat itself my barber not only she

amazing what she does

she's an equally amazing and awesome

person so she'd asked me if he could buy

replacement batteries for Mac books and

I was curious to know which model it was

and it turned out to be this 2010

MacBook which she could pick up for

about 200 bucks used now I had no idea

what happened to the battery until I saw

the battery somehow started to combust

and expand inside the macbook to the

point where it looked like tree roots

breaking through concrete so bad to

where I thought it broke the trackpad

this is what a perfectly healthy macbook

battery looks like and this is something

you should not be anywhere near honestly

I'm just happy to explode or catch on

fire like that thing was crazy but once

I got it out there things were safe I

wanted to change the battery and also

upgrade the RAM and to an SSD now

honestly I was a little nervous that the

expanded battery might have damaged the

keyboard or even the trackpad so my

first test was simply just a plug in

power without any battery and see if the

trackpad and keyboard worked and luckily

it did from there my first move was to

replace the battery which was super easy

actually drop a link to every part

featured in this video down below next

was the ramp which is also really simple

I took this from two gigabytes up to the

maximum for next was the hard drive

which is also really easy was kind of

static but also a little bit of a

reminder that this MacBook was super

simple to upgrade everything had gone

smooth up until this point where I

dropped a screw and couldn't find it

anywhere this is live footage of me

banging my head on the camera and then

proceeding to look all over the floor to

try and find that tiny little screw no

joke I actually checked my shoes because

I could not for the life of me find it

anywhere luckily though found it and it

was back to business the upgrade was

complete from there my next step was to

install High Sierra onto this MacBook

that was probably the most painful part

about this upgrade simply because this

MacBook had USB 2.0 so it took a little

bit of time aside from that though the

upgrade went smooth and High Sierra

mixed with more RAM

and an SSD made this thing feel like a

new machine

now the RAM was definitely nice bump but

honestly the biggest and most noticeable

upgrade was going from the hard drive to

the SSD with the hard drive it was

painfully slow around fifty megabytes

per second read and write but with the

SSD we were seeing speeds over 200

megabytes per second which is a huge

difference the entire computer because

of this will fill snappier from booting

up to copying and transferring files and

if you're on an older machine and

haven't upgraded to an SSD it is

probably the best thing you can do now

whether you're an Apple fan or not the

fact that this machine from 2010 eight

years ago the same year I started

YouTube can still run the latest OS

smoothly is impressive now it's not

gonna be an insanely powerful machine

you're not gonna use it for video

editing for Photoshop but for web

browsing especially if you spend around

200 bucks on this upgrade to an SSD

which is about 50 to 100 bucks and you

have an awesome little machine honestly

on top of everything what may have

surprised me most was the display being

from 2010 I kind of thought that would

be the weakest point but it looks

surprisingly good so by now we covered

the 200 our macbook part but i think

it's time for the surprise so I

scheduled a haircut and a seed cell if

she would react to her upgraded computer

on camera now from that alone she was

already blown away got a fancy password

you can change later ok it's going to

turn on a lot quicker oh that's so nice

now what she had no idea was coming is

that wasn't the surprise I wanted to

surprise her with a macbook that wasn't

from 2010 this is a new macbook to me

you're cool thank you so much you could

thank you you could give your old

MacBook to don't let him take this now I

won't thank you so much the one thing

that's gonna be weird though rich is

looking out for you is there's no ports

left on those things

so on your old MacBook they have this is

why this is a classic because they have

USB that was mini displayport yeah you

get a CD drive like the CDs don't exist

anymore

this has just USB C so in the instance

where you need to go these old-school

ports this will work with that oh wow ok

ok so they don't replace these little

things right here yeah oh wow so that's

thank you so much so yeah this was kind

of a little bit of a fun nostalgic video

but also as you can see it sells she's

an amazing person she's an awesome mom

and she's definitely one of those people

who won't take care of herself first

she'll take care of others so I wanted

to give back a little aside from that

thank you guys very much for watching

hopefully enjoyed the video if you did

and you are feeling like be an awesome

make sure to go 2010 MacBook on that

like button also I'm curious if he owned

a Mac which was the first year you

picked one up nothing but love to eat
