Another one for the collection 😳

I need to stop buying old Macs. Help me.

Wanted one of the old 2009-12 MBP matte displays for a while. Saw this mid-2010 one on eBay as not working/parts with what looked like a perfect screen and thought for $40 I can just switch the display onto my old 2009 model. But it turned out the only reason it was ‘not working’ was missing/corrupted OS. Booted to recovery and it worked perfectly! Even has a Core i7 and a 500GB Kingston SSD inside.

Ultimately I probably want to use this to test out some Linux distros in anticipation of the eventual end of OCLP. But for the time being, and even though my crappy pic doesn’t do it justice, I had to see what Sequoia looks like on this gorgeous display. 😍 Nano-texture, schmano-texture.

Seriously though, I need to stop buying old Macs. Help me. 😭
