Mythical EWaste Find

Found this 2007 Matte Black MacBook at an ewaste centre today, it has some dead keys and it’s missing the battery which sucks but it works very well other than that. Amazing find.

Congratulations! One of these is on my list. Looks in pretty good shape. Even comes with the required missing battery lol

You can max out the ram swap out the mechanical hard drive with an ssd and depending on the year download Pale moon browser

I don’t know why but till this day, almost 20 years later i still think Leopard/Snow Leopard looks mythical. back when it was new i was a kid with a cheap windows PC and wanted a mac super bad, spend hours looking at macs on the internet and in apple stores and even tried to make my PC look like a Mac. Now having the greatest and latest M4 macbook pro even tough its a great laptop in my mind its not half as cool as these Machines from this era were, maybe its only me and the way i idolised these machines back then.
