OK here's a deal - the day we overtake Apple in subscribers (they're on 16.9M), I will personally build the most powerful iPhone in the World....myself. 😎

The audacity to call the customer service is hillarious

18:13 the logo lighting isn't a waste of battery, it uses the cold cathode florescent back lights of the screen to light the apple logo. So there isn't any extra power being used to light it. Thats why OLED screens don't have that feature anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, the apple logo lighting up doesn't waste power. It uses the light from the display. If you shine a bright light on the Apple with the screen off, you'll see the light come through. Normally displays have a layer that prevents this.

Im actually impressed that customer service knew what this machine was and when it was produced, nice

The light-up logo was lit by the backlight of the LCD display, so they actually didn't use any extra battery. That's also why there could be a hotspot on the middle of the display: the sun could shine through it lighting up that spot. In my experience this only happened with direct sunlight shining on the logo.

That guy needs some extra credit with actually acting so polite and didn’t hang up after someone asking about a laptop that was before the 2000s 😂

The light up logo was actually SUPER useful for when your display didn’t light up for some reason, you could shine a light through the logo to see whether it was the display being off or the backlight.

18:50 The light isn't actually a separate source, it's just the back light from the display, which is also why the brightness changes based on your display brightness, so it didn't use up extra battery power

At this point I'm convinced Arun can buy anything and everything he wants, if he wants it.

I never understood where people got the idea that the light up logo wastes battery. If anything it’s more efficient or neutral. It’s just the normal backlight for the screen, it’s not a separate light. That’s why it can create a hotspot in the screen in some lighting. Because you’re literally looking through the display.

I've been using a 2015 Macbook for practically all my life (as a teen), and never realised both how far the device has come, and how much more powerful and featureful it has become since the past few years. This is genuinely incredible.

camera man at 14:01 is a real one

The lengths this man goes to giving us content is absolutely legendary. Hats off.

12:30 I had one of those, and it is still the best-looking laptop I've ever had. I loved it so much. Used it for many years.

I am working on a timeline on these & you were the only reliable source. thank you

You have to admit, Jobs was a master at hype and selling a product. I miss that.

Man went wayyy back in Mac history. Finding all that must’ve been crazy hard - hats off to you Arun ❤🎉

2016 Touchbar Pro User here. Replaced the screen and battery on it, planning to get 10 yrs out of it before replacing.

Mr whose the boss I hail from Nigeria am a kid I want to tell that when ever I watch your videos I get excited because they are so educative and interesting ,I hope I can be like you one day Thanks

As a life time Windows and Linux user, buying a MacBook pro with M2 Max earlier this year was quite an experience. The performance is amazing and I've found that it's become my daily driver instead than firing up my noisy and heat generating i9 13900k gaming rig to use it for work and non-gaming related tasks. I'm quite impressed on where Apple has taken their laptops today.

The fact that he's been doing high-quality content for a long time and still hasn't gotten bored or reduced the quality speaks volumes about his passion

Superb video yet again , I love the nostalgia and reminds me of things and people not here anymore…well done and thanks

Incredible vodeo! Baffles me how dedicated you were in your task of buying and figuring out and presenting every single macbook ever while being so entertaining as well. LOVED IT!!

The fact that he's doing this high quality content for a long time and still not getting bored or reducing the quality says a lot about his passion.

This man managed to rickroll us on one of the oldest Macbooks in the world. Thats dedication we should all appreciate

this video is so clean, well done very good editing

Hey Mr.whosetheboss! I love ur videos! I really enjoy them and ur humour takes my mind of difficult things! Keep going forward. Can u also pls do I bought every IPad ever! I would love that! Thanks for putting so much of hardwork into making these videos.

The 500c series had an issue where static electricity would build up on the motherboard, which could cause it to shut off like happened here. There’s a thin button on the back to de-static the board you’d need to hit once in a while on the later models, or you could hit Command-Option-Control-Power after leaving it unplugged with the battery out for 5 minutes.

I like how he rickrolls us in basically every video

This is a fascinating video and just shows the staggering development of computers. It also takes me back, as thirty years ago and a teacher, I was second in charge in my school's science department and responsible for a lot of the equipment spending, especially technology. I was allowed to buy a laptop for my personal use and in a world of PCs, chose an Apple Powerbook 145B. It proved very useful, though back then, it scared me stiff commuting with it, carrying it on the tube and buses in its shoulder bag! My very first laptop I bought exclusively for my own use was in 1999. Yep, an iBook in the same blueberry colour as the one you got. I loved it but hated the 'handbag' appearance if you carried it by its built-in handle. My current laptop is a 2020 M1 MacBook Air. Happy days and thanks for the memories!

6:06The upside down logo on the powerbook G3 had me laughing

13:19 Arun Bringing Back The Old UKposts

Fantastic episode. I've owned almost all of the machines you showed and you brought those joyful experiences to life, thank you.

The MacBook Pro early 2008 model was my first Apple laptop and I will never forget the PREMIUM feel it had when first opening it after being a windows user for years. Never got back to Windows again.

I love seeing the different models of MacBook air and pros laptop and how they changed over the years and time to the ones we use today amazing to see

I worked for Apple and an Apple Centre in the UK in the 90's. I was a pre-press media specialist for a few years in central London and one of the things we promoted was the first and second laptops you see here. As well as the first ever colour laser printer, that was just A4 (oh Apple, you forgot the bleed). A lot of people simply couldn't imagine working on one back then. Many simply thought, why should I take my work home with me, or out of the office, that is my time. How times have changed!

The sheer dedication it would take to do the research for this video and seek out all these computers is insane! Love to see it Arun

That phone call to tech!!!!😂

Your out of this world. Hats off

4:49 surprising that the agent knows that model

His commitment to entertaining his fans- a true legend.

You just took me down memory lane. I grew up working so hard to buy an apple computer. I was 12 and dug ditches, did landscaping to try and buy anything. I got a Mac Plus and especially had an obsession with the laptops. I knew every CPU in every model of computer they sold, even the printers at the time. And yes, everyone made fun of me

The Apple logo lighting up actually wastes no at all battery since it uses the screen backlight. That's also why there's sometimes a lighter spot in the middle since light can leak through the logo onto the screen.

3:07 That rickroll was too well thought

i’ve been a fan of this guy for around 4 years and he still hasn’t failed to entertain me.

The cool bit about the Retina MacBook was that it didn't actually drain battery with the lit up apple logo. It used the light from the backlight as the logo light. Wish they never got rid of it.

Man that 2nd laptop shown looks nearly identical to the very old dos laptop I had that my brother and I use to play Scorched Earth on. Think up until like 2015 or so it actually still worked, granted wasn't in best of shape(slightly damaged hinges, plastic corner damage, etc) but still ran perfectly fine or at least as much as you'd expect from an old laptop.

“I’ve touched so many thick ones today.” -Arun 2023 20:02

I'm actually surprised he got a customer support agent that even knew what that machine was

The lit Apple logo on the back didn’t use its own light source, but instead just used the main LED backlight. Hence it didn’t drain any battery.

Your version of entire Generation review is awesome ! Way to go with other Expensive Tech. Wish you cross 16 Million and beat Apple 😅

18:15 the logo lighting up wasn’t a waste of battery. It was just clear plastic and the light was from the LCD…

This man’s dedication to make a great video is on another level. Thanks for missing great content!

18:14 the logo lighting up used exactly 0 battery power because the screen already lit up all they had to do was make a slight cut out on the back of the LCD to let some light through and film light up Apple logo. And as long as you weren't in direct sunlight we wouldn't have an issue of bleedthrough.

You and your teams just kills it. Your videos match the same level as MKBHD even after being super frugal with production values. Editing energy concepts are all top notch 🔥

Failed to mention that Apple, with the PowerBook 100 (1991), redesigned the laptop concept which is the one we still use today: moved the keyboard to the back and the display hinge to the back edge and centered the "mouse" in front of the user. Laptops before the PB100 (including the Macintosh Portable) had the keyboard in front, trackball to the side and display hinge in the middle.

10:00 - apple finally decided to flip their logo in 2001

the apple logo lighting up doesnt drain any battery as it uses the backlight of the display as if you change the display brightness the apple logo also dims or brightens on the back of the macs screen

When Aaron makes his most powerful phone “Does it have a headphone jaaack?” “it pipes music DIRECTLY into your brain!” “I’d rather have a headphone jaaack.”

This series is amazing, it's fascinating to watch you talk about something you're so passionate about. Can't wait to watch your channel grow even more!! ❤️

I am in the camp of really liking the touch bar, one of the main reasons I don't replace this 2019 MacBook Pro, it still works the same and I would really miss that feature.

For me, in the 7th grade the iMac G3 came out and that was the start of my obsession with Macs. Then a year later they put out the iBook G3 and that's been my most coveted device since.

I'm just speechless by the quality, details and the educative parts of your contents, you're on a league of your own.

20:10 woahhhhhhhh put those puppies away 💀

The phone call to the help desk was worth watching this video 👏🏾😂

fantastic i was just going to buy a MacBook and then you uploaded this video which made my decision easier now I gotta choose which MacBook to get,I need one with a touch disply

MacOS 10 on the iBook is seriously impressive. The design looks shockingly modern for just how old it is. I've generally been a Windows/Android guy for most of my life (but I bounce back and forth and you should too because both are excellent.) But Apple has always had their finger on the pulse of design. When it comes to hardware and software/UI, Apple has been top notch in this regard. I have always appreciated Apples relentless focus on making things look beautiful and easy to use. It's that obsessive attention to detail that has made them the most successful, and by FAR the most influential tech company on the planet.

I'm watching this on my mid 2015 MacBook Pro and this laptop still holds up really well. It has its flaws and is showing its age, but damn the longevity is a winner. I have friends who bought similar spec computers at the same time who are on their third or even 4th laptop in that time.

You missed the 5300/3400 series PowerBook and the first PowerBook G3 "Kanga". Also missing in your review are the PowerBook Duo series.

This is very interesting n you are so dedicated in your videos.... Keep it up Boss👍😁

5:27 The Apple service guy was really patient, considering what Arun asked him...

My first laptop was the PowerBook G3 - I had the 333mhz version. After that I got the white 500mhz iBook G3 (had to buy and install the AirPort card separately to get the WiFi working). One model line you missed was the Duo - it was the first ultra portable which was so small it didn’t even have a floppy drive and there was a dock you could insert it into like a cartridge and provided support for media/enhanced GPU etc. was the MacBook Air of the 90s

I just wanted to point out that when MacBook and MacBook Pro were introduced it also marked the switch from PowerPC to Intel Silicon, hence another reason to drop "Power" from the name.

Love the effort he puts into his videos, and also always finding a way to rickroll us😂

Arun is the only UKpostsr whose videos I can watch for more than 10 minutes without checking how much time has passed. Awesome video as always, Arun and the Team.

i had a late 2009 macbook a few years ago when i was younger. i loved it *so* much. there were a lot of files on it that were really *really* important but one day my dad just got mad randomly and threw it away. 😭 but now i have a late 2009 imac running macos catalina and it still works great!

Amazing how the person on the customer service call actually knew quite a lot about the Powerbook 500.

9:12 the 1999 iBook has a calculator but the 2023 IPads don’t lol 😂😂💀

I’m loving this series, the evolution of the tech is amazing to see all in one place

As a devoted Apple enthusiast, I must express that this UKposts video stands out as one of the finest I've seen recently. The level of thought put into it is truly commendable. Witnessing the evolution of all the models from their inception was truly captivating. Consider me a new subscriber! 😉

While using bargain bucket PCs at home, it was the candy colored iBooks that were my introduction to Apple back in high school school; it just stuck with me and then upon being given an iBookG4 for going to college in '04 - that's when it became my personal computing choice. Yes, they have enormous (GIGANTIC) problems in how they do things, but I've always just enjoyed using their products more and am ok being within the ecosystem. This was a fascinating ride!

18:39 surprised he didn't try to rickroll us and asked us to beat apple instead

Gotta mention that the retina MacBook Pro improvements also apply to the last generation of unibody MacBook Pro’s.

this is one of those history vids that you love

4:20 No way he called apple service to attempt a repair on a 500 💀

got a second hand macbook 12" in 2018 for university and though it lags at times like adding animations to powerpoint but other than that it had been really smooth. i studied engineering and was tired of carrying my acer laptop which was so heavy and it got me through 5 years of uni. done so much coding and stuffs there and it's about to reach the end of its time but really loved the 12", wish they would make an update version. the size is literally perfect

I am so glad that he decided to include Psivewri footage. one of my favourite tech youtubers (tho he is still #1)

I used a Powerbook 145B in University. It was upgraded with the Bronze modem, which I think was a 2.4K baud(?)

14:43 AND THE CROWD GOES MILD 🔥🔥

Props to that customer service guy for staying professional!

I still remember the Lucky computers that was my first introduction to a "Laptop". it came as a briefcase with 8088 CPU, 640K RAM and 20MB HDD with a VGA moono display. I was so impressed that I asked my friend to buy and get one for me which was eventually confiscated by Customs under the pretext that it was a prohibited item.

"I've touched so many thick ones today" 💀💀💀 Bro knew exactly what he was saying

small correction there. The logo that light's up doesn't use extra battery and is the same light from the screen. as explained below. It gets light from the backlight. The glowing Apple logo is not a light, but rather a window into the backlight of the display. The Apple Logo is illuminated from the rear of the display panel. The light from the display panel passes through Apple's logo, resulting in its illumination. Thank you for the work ! I love what you do !

This is sick, good job Mrwhostheboss, you put in the most work I’ve ever seen in a channel.

This series gon be real fun until he has to buy every samsung phone.......

that call to service !!!! rocks

17:17 I see...I was wondering why there were only new MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros but not the regular MacBooks that stood in the middle of the 2.

Can i just point out the fact that the quality of his videos is insane.
