One of my favorite Macs ever made. Total unicorn and didn't last long (production wise).
Got a tip for us?

I'm ready for a replacement, but I have a computer that Steve Jobs built! And while I know that everything (that screen! those speakers!) is better in the newer models, there's literally nothing wrong with this 2008 Macbook. It's faster than my BF's 2014 Air. It's faster (far, far faster) than the gimpy 2011 iMac on my desk at work.
There are some fuctions that I am jealous of, like airdrop to the mac, or airplaying video to the apple TV, or auto recognition of my newest model bluetooth headphones. And my phone is a more capable computer.
But when I use that 2014 Air or 2011 iMac, I realize "upgrading" is a crapshoot. And Steve Freakin' Jobs built this computer.
