  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • I am no stranger to trying to game on a Mac.

  • However, this time, well, we're taking it up a notch.

  • This is a $200 MacBook straight from 2009.

  • To be clear, this is a terrible idea.

  • But also, I don't really care.

  • This MacBook is straight from eBay,

  • and it has had a bit of a hard life.

  • The inside is actually fairly clean,

  • so there's no major scratches on the screen,

  • the keyboard and trackpad are all clear.

  • However, on the exterior of the shell,

  • there's a pretty sizable crack here,

  • and it looks like someone just attacked

  • the bottom of it at some point.

  • Generally speaking, the words "Mac"

  • and "gaming" don't go together.

  • When you put "2009 white MacBook"

  • together with the word "gaming,"

  • you usually have a recipe for

  • some straight garbage town.

  • Inside, the specs are, well, not great.

  • It has a 2.3 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo processor,

  • four gigabytes of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics.

  • A step up from integrated graphics, but not by much.

  • However, it's not all bad.

  • The rest of the hardware does feel reasonably modern.

  • It's running currently a copy of MacOS Sierra,

  • although you can update it to High Sierra,

  • and you got stuff like dual-band Wi-Fi,

  • a good keyboard, a decent trackpad.

  • It doesn't really feel that slow.

  • - [Video] It is the first iPhone to drop the home button.

  • - So, with an only 1280 by 800 display,

  • don't expect to be blowing through 4K YouTube on this guy.

  • Watching normal 720p video is no problem.

  • Because it is running a modern operating system,

  • not only do you still get stuff like patches,

  • there's even support for things like Siri.

  • With a resolution of 1280 by 800,

  • the screen is definitely low-resolution

  • by today's standards.

  • However, the panel itself really isn't bad.

  • Yes, it does not get quite as bright as I would like,

  • but the color and especially some of the viewing angles

  • are a lot better than other TN panels

  • that I've found on laptops around $200 today.

  • You're also getting a good selection of ports,

  • including not only MagSafe, but Ethernet,

  • Mini DisplayPort, and a pair of USB 2.0 ports,

  • and you get an optical drive, because 2009.

  • I have to admit, when I first had the idea for this video,

  • I expected this to be pretty much garbage town.

  • But it really isn't.

  • However, the real test is going to be,

  • can I play any games at all on it?

  • Minecraft is a game that runs

  • on basically every piece of tech on Earth,

  • and it runs just fine here on the MacBook.

  • Yes, you do have to turn the graphics settings down.

  • Especially, you have to turn the chunk distance

  • to be lot closer, but it does work.

  • Now, Steam does work on MacOS,

  • so of course, I have to give CS:GO a try,

  • and I'm not expecting good things.

  • 16 FPS (laughing).

  • Alright, let's--

  • Oh, oh no!

  • Okay.

  • I'm gonna give this a solid F for failure.

  • CS:GO is not MacBook compatible, at least not a 2009.

  • However, the main reason I actually wanted to this video

  • was a new thing from Nvidia called GeForce Now.

  • GeForce Now itself isn't new,

  • but what is is the Mac beta.

  • Essentially what we can do here is

  • we can go through pretty much

  • any game on Steam and Battle.net.

  • Now, they don't support everything,

  • but a lot of the major games, such as Dota 2,

  • Fortnite, Battlefront 2, you can all play for free,

  • at least right now during beta on the Mac.

  • The only catch is that you actually have to own these games.

  • The way it works is once you actually log into GeForce Now,

  • you log into something like Steam or Battle.net,

  • and you can play the games on your own accounts.

  • Now, back in CS:GO running in GeForce Now,

  • it is a huge difference.

  • Because the computer in the cloud

  • is doing all the heavy lifting,

  • all the MacBook has to do is

  • essentially just decode the video

  • and pass through my mouse

  • and keyboard input over the internet.

  • I know that there's absolutely a little bit of latency

  • that is added, but because we're over Ethernet

  • and because we have fiber here in the office,

  • it's really hard to see any kind of major difference.

  • Next, we have Playerunknown's Battlegrounds.

  • This is a game that you would never be able to run

  • on the MacBook in a million years,

  • but here again, it runs pretty well here with GeForce Now.

  • It's crazy just how far cloud gaming has come.

  • It feels like not that long ago that,

  • while you could do stuff like this

  • with PlayStation Now and GeForce,

  • it really relied on having a crazy-good internet connection.

  • Without it, it was super-choppy

  • and there was a lot of latency,

  • even with a good internet connection.

  • But here, I mean, yes, if I look closely,

  • I can see there's a little bit of a difference

  • as far as not being able to fully get that instant response,

  • but it is not bad.

  • Is there nothing in here?

  • Oh, no, no no no no!

  • Get--

  • No, no, yes, yes!

  • I did it!

  • I (laughing) killed someone with my fists!

  • Yet again, Overwatch works totally fine.

  • Dude, I'm really impressed with this.

  • I've been wanting to try GeForce Now for Mac for a while,

  • but there's really nothing to complain about,

  • if you have a good internet connection,

  • and I can't stress that enough.

  • If you don't, this is not going to be

  • as smooth as an experience.

  • But if you do, it runs basically just like

  • you're running it on your actual MacBook.

  • The only real catch here is that this is free only in beta.

  • At some point, Nvidia is going to come to their senses

  • and start charging for this.

  • But man, as long as it's free,

  • it's essentially like you're getting a free

  • high-powered gaming PC that just happens

  • to run on a little tiny MacBook.

  • So, should you buy a 2009 MacBook

  • to turn into a gaming PC?

  • Of course not.

  • But if you want to get into GeForce Now

  • while it's still for free on the Mac,

  • this is not a bad way of going at all.

  • This is a great example of how newer technology

  • can mean that you don't have to leave older hardware behind.

  • Speaking of the hardware,

  • this MacBook is a lot better than I thought.

  • I'm actually considering maybe doing a few upgrades

  • and doing a part two to this video,

  • so if you guys want to see that,

  • let me know in the comments below.

  • Anyway guys, thank you so much for watching,

  • and I will catch you on the next one.

- Hey guys, this is Austin.
