RIP Plastic MacBook
It is with great sorrow that I announce the death of the plastic MacBook. It was killed earlier today by a company called Apple.

They should have RIPed that years ago. I can't believe it took this long.

Re: RIP Plastic MacBook
What's all this smack talk about the white MacBook. Do you realize how many of those fuckers they sold? It was a huge hit.
Why?
Reasonably priced. Sexy. Rock solid performance. Glowing white logo.
Let's have no more of this trash talk.

That's Tarekith doing some serious shit talking and he never talks shit. I haven't seen him lose control like this since NI released yet another collection of vintage compressor emulations.

Re: RIP Plastic MacBook
LOL, it just didn't fit in with anything else Apple makes lately in terms of aesthetics. Was pretty obvious they were going to target the Air's to the same sort of user.
Re: RIP Plastic MacBook
Me too, it was my first Apple product. I use it mostly with Traktor scratch.scutheotaku wrote:I like my little, white MacBook...
It is also running Lion now whilst my production machine is safe.
Anyway, it is not dead they are offering them to educational establishments.
Re: RIP Plastic MacBook
I have one for work. I hate it. Wouldn't run Live on it mind, my Dell seriously outperforms it in that respect.
Re: RIP Plastic MacBook
Had a black one before ( late 2006) it was a tank! I loved that one so much. My wife has a white one and it'S still chugging along!

2007 2ghz core 2 duo here. Added more ram, a bigger hard drive, upgrade to Snow Leopard. Still kicking it.
I love the way the Airs look but they are too limited with storage in terms of what I need. Thinking about getting a 13" pro and swapping the optical for a small ssd with the OS and apps. But damn the Airs are good looking.
