They have so many custom parts and connectors that the turbo you bought down at the NAPA can’t bolt on because it uses a weird bracket system, and can’t replace the special odd-shaped turbo that is custom-made to fit in an odd space near an engine mount. They are like German cars: Fancy, overengineered, and made to do their job in an elegant way. Macs - especially non-tower macs - are extremely limited in what you can do to them beyond Memory and storage by design. You are not going to change the GPU to something apple didn’t make for that model type back in 2011 (Mid 2011, 21”) IMacs are giant iPads with some room for some SATA devices inside. But if you were gonna put Linux on it, you didn’t need them anyways. If you need the newest iMovie, air drop, or interact with a lot of iOS features that you need parity with, well then, no. If you are in such a situation, these machines would be useful. I have a MacBook 2008 Main Logic Board in a plastic box with an 8TB hard drive as a Plex server running Mavericks - Plex works great on a CPU hobbled old relic that is headless hiding in a cupboard. There are some “modern” apps that run on them: They both still run the latest versions of Chrome & Diablo 3, for example. They still run Aperture (their main job) and other old versions I don’t mind because those devices do not interact in anyone else’s work flow.
I watch YouTube, buy stuff on Amazon, and map in OpenStreetMap. It is interesting - I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max that is effectively my “main” computer now, and two computers that handle infrequent media creation, storage, and some media consumption.
#MACOS HIGH SIERRA RELEASE DATE INSTALL#
I visit I a limited number of websites, and rarely install apps, so these limitations are not an issue. My main machine is an iMac from 20 and both run High Sierra.
