I’ll move the project to my relatively youthful 2010 iMac, which is more than capable. I use mine to run Ableton Live, and it has no problems whatsoever. But if you, or a friend or relative, already has one, then it’s more than viable. You can pick one up for under $200, but who knows how it has been treated? You might need to replace everything inside. Obviously, buying one of these Macs might not be a great idea. Then again, I could always just order a new one. Yes, this MacBook is still on its original battery, and it still lasts over an hour, but I don’t want to stress it. It then unmounts the drive so I don’t have to hear it, and it doesn’t waste precious battery power. Right now, I have a setup where the MacBook clones its SSD to the HDD every day to make a bootable backup. It’s almost possible to build a new machine from spare parts. I could put in two SSDs, but what would be the point? That SSD died, so when I revived this MacBook recently, I switched in a new SSD for that broken one, and kept the old HDD in place. Years ago, I switched the optical drive for an SSD, using a kit made for the purpose. It’s the difference between instant waking from sleep, and iOS-like performance, against apps that bounce 15 times before they launch.
Putting in a solid state drive will make your old Mac feel like a new machine.
It’s even more important in a laptop than on a desktop, because notebooks use slower 5,400 rpm drives (although the iMac actually still uses one of these slow laptop drives in 2020).
There’s one essential mod that anyone using an old Mac has to do: Swap the spinning hard drive for an SSD. SSD This is now an internal backup drive.
And if you can’t repair it, you can buy a new unit to swap in. It’s even easy to do your own trackpad repairs. All this means that you can swap out the parts that usually go bad over time, and keep the computer in tip-top condition.
