I'm going to be taking a look at this 10 year old MacBook

落伍了嗎?

that runs an Intel Core Duo.

在這期「落伍了嗎?」節目中

Now, just to be clear, I'm not talking about a Core 2 Duo, which was far more common.

我們將要拿這部十歲的 MacBook

Rather, the Core Duo, which came out earlier.

他可是運行著Intel Core Duo處理器

The main difference is that the Core Duo is a 32-bit CPU, while the Core 2 Duo is a 64-bit.

現在，搞清楚，我不是指常見的 Core "2" Duo處理器

So, for this test, I wanted to use an old MacBook.

而是比 Core 2 Duo還早研發出來的"Core Duo"

Now if you're not an Apple fan, don't worry.

主要差別是 Core Duo 是32位元CPU，而 Core 2 Duo則是64位元

I'll be testing with Apple's OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Ubuntu Linux.

所以，在這個測試裡，我要來使用一部舊MacBook

So, I bought this old MacBook on eBay for $60.

現在，如果您不是蘋果粉絲，別擔心

And this model is unique, because if you go all the way back through MacBook history,

我將使用蘋果的OS X、Microsoft Windows和Linux進行測試

this is the very first model produced in 2006.

我花60塊美金在eBay購買了這舊款的MacBook

It's safe to assume that whatever this laptop ends up being able to do,

而這型號是獨一無二的，因為如果你細數MacBook的歷史，

all of the following models can also do and better,

這是2006年生產的第一款MacBook

especially since everything from 2007 uses a Core 2 chip.

可以肯定的是，無論這款筆電能做到什麼，

Ok, so let's take a look at the specifications of this machine.

所有以下型號也可以做得更好

It was made in 2006, so it is basically 10 years old.

特別是2007年以來都使用了Core 2晶片

The CPU is an Intel Core Duo, running at 1.83 GHZ.

好的，我們來看看這台機器的規格

It has 2 GB of RAM, although I did upgrade that. Originally it came with 512 MB.

這是2006年製造的，基本上是10歲

The hard drive is 250 GB, but I also upgraded that from a 60 GB original drive.

處理器是Intel Core Duo，時脈1.83 GHz

The video chip is a standard Intel GMA 950. Nothing fancy.

它有2 GB的RAM，然而我升級過了，最初是512 MB

The LCD screen has a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels.

硬碟容量是250 GB，但是我也是從原本的60 GB硬碟升級的

It isn't exactly a retina display, but it's not bad.

繪圖處理器是標準的Intel GMA 950，沒什麼好說的

The ethernet is 10/100/1000, so it's plenty fast.

LCD螢幕的解析率為1280×800像素

And Wi-Fi is compatible with A/B/G, plus it has bluetooth,

完全不是Retina顯示螢幕，但也不錯

so not the fastest but certainly usable.

以太網絡是10/100/1000，所以相當快

And it has USB 2.0 with 2 ports available.

而Wi-Fi與A / B / G兼容，還有藍牙，

I'll start by examining what we can do with OSX.

所以不是最快，但肯定可用

So these are the only supported operating systems from Apple.

它有USB 2.0，有2個端口可用

The latest version of OSX that will run here is 10.6 (Snow Leopard), which came out in 2009.

我先來看看我們可以用OS X做什麼。

So, that means your choice of operating systems is several versions out of date.

所以這裡是蘋果唯一支援的作業系統

So, I installed Snow Leapord and did some testing.

將在這裡運行的最新版本的OS X是在2009年推出的10.6（Snow Leopard）

Most people agree that the web browser is paramount these days, so I focused on that.

所以，這表示您選擇的操作系統是過時的幾個版本

To my suprise, I found that the latest versions of Google Chrome for Mac are 64-bit only.

所以，我安裝了Snow Leapord，做了一些測試

So, I had to download Google Chrome 38, which came out in October 2014. Basically one year ago.

大多數人都認為，這些網頁瀏覽器至關重要，所以我專注於這一點上

So, it isn't horribly out of date, but since there will be no future updates, it grows more out of date every day.

驚訝的是，我發現最新版的Google Chrome for Mac只有64位版本

However, I was not able to produce any situation that Chrome 38 could not handle.

所以，我不得不下載Google Chrome 38，它是在2014年10月推出的，算是一年前

I found that Safari 5.1.10, which was released in September 2013,

所以落伍是還好，但由於將來不再有更新，它只會變得更加落伍

is the latest that will run, so it's basically 2 years out of date.

然而，我做不出任何Chrome 38無法處理的情況

As for Firefox, I was able to install version 41,

我發現Safari 5.1.10發佈於2013年9月，

which is the most up to date version.

是最新的，所以基本上過期了2年

So, it appears that if you want to run the most up to date browser on a 32-bit Mac,

對於Firefox，我能夠安裝版本41。

then Firefox is your only choice.

也就是最新版本。

Now, several people said Microsoft Office was important.

所以，看來如果你想在32位元的Mac上運行最新的瀏覽器，

Well, it turns out 2011 is the latest version you can use.

那麼Firefox是您唯一的選擇。

Now, whats noteworthy about that is that the next version of Office is 2016,

現在有幾個人說Microsoft Office很重要

and it actually requires a machine running 10.10 (Yosemite),

那麼事實證明，2011年是你可以使用的最新版本

so theres a huge gap between one version of Office and the next.

現在值得注意的是Office的下一個版本是2016，

Many people said it should be able to run Facebook.

它實際上需要運行10.10（Yosemite）的機器，

The funny thing is, Facebook used to be be a rather lightweight website, but in the last few years,

所以在Office的上下版本之間有巨大的差距

they've added so many scripts and so much multimedia

許多人說應該要能運行Facebook

that does tend to bog down the really old computers, for example, like this iBook G4.

有趣的是，Facebook以前是一個相當輕量級的網站，但在過去的幾年裡，

But, it seems to run perfectly fine on the Core Duo.

他們添加這麼多的腳本，和這麼多的多媒體

So to switch gears for a moment over to Windows.

這往往是過舊電腦的絆腳石，例如這台iBook G4

Now, officially speaking, Apple says this MacBook can run anything from Windows XP to Windows 7.

但是，它似乎在Core Duo上運行得很好

I installed a little app called rEFIt, which is a much more versatile boot manager for Macs with EFI.

所以要把時間交給Windows

This made it very simple to install Windows 7.

官方說法是，蘋果說這款MacBook可以從Windows XP運行到Windows 7

I was able to use Apple's Bootcamp to automatically install all the drivers,

我安裝了名為rEFIt的應用程序:

which made the device manager happy, and pretty much everything worked perfectly.

一個在有EFI的Mac上，更加通用的啟動管理器

Under Windows 7, I was pretty much able to run all of the latest and greatest software,

這使得安裝Windows 7非常簡單。

including Chrome and Office.

我可以使用蘋果的Bootcamp自動安裝所有的驅動程式

Even though Windows 7 is several years old, it's still a very popular operating system.

這讓裝置管理員也愉快，近乎完美

In fact, I felt right at home with Windows 7,

在Windows 7下，我能夠運行所有最新最好的軟體

because that's what most of our computers at work

包括Chrome和Office

are still using.

即使Windows 7有點年紀了，仍然是非常受歡迎的操作系統

Many on Facebook said a modern computer should be able to do atleast 720p video streams.

其實我比較習慣用Windows 7

So, I tried using VLC player and found that it could actually handle 1080p video with no problems.

因為大多數現行的電腦上還在用

As for streaming, I went onto YouTube and bumped it up to 1080p,

Facebook上的許多人表示，一台現代電腦應該能夠進行至少720p的影片

and at first it skipped a few frames but then it seemed to play fine.

所以，我試過使用VLC播放器，發現它可以實際處理1080p影片，沒有任何問題

So I would say it easily passes that test.

至於串流影音，我在YouTube設到1080p，

Several posters said it should be able to run Minecraft,

起初它跳過了幾幀，但是似乎播放的很好

so I downloaded a copy and installed it.

所以我會說要通過這個測試，很容易

Of course, keep in mind that even when these were brand new,

幾個Po文說應該能夠運行Minecraft(創世神)，

they were never really meant as gaming machines

所以我下載並安裝了它

because they had the really basic Intel Graphics chips.

當然，請記住，即使這些都是全新的，

If you were really interested in gaming,

它們從來不是真正的遊戲機

Apple encouraged you to get the MacBook Pro,

因為他們是最基本的Intel Graphics晶片

which had a real 3D graphics chip in it.

如果你真的對遊戲感興趣，

It seemed to run smoothly, but I'll admit, I don't really know how to play the game, so I didn't do much.

蘋果鼓勵你買MacBook Pro，

But then I thought, 'I wonder if this machine will run Windows 10.'

其中有一個真正的3D圖形晶片

Now, according to Microsoft's system requirements, it should work.

似乎運行順利，但我承認，我真的不知道如何玩這個遊戲，所以我沒有做太多

So, I downloaded a free trail copy from Microsoft and I gave it a shot.

但是後來，我想知道這台機器能不能跑Windows 10

It actually installed just fine,

現在，根據Microsoft的系統要求，它應該可以

and there were a few drivers I had to hunt down to get all the hardware working,

所以，我從Microsoft那下載了免費試用版來看看

but overall, it seemed to run just fine.

事實上安裝沒有問題

So, I think we can safely expand this list all the way to Windows 10.

有幾個驅動程式，我不得不搜尋，才能讓所有的硬體動起來，

I'm sure it would run Windows 8, but I hate Windows 8 with a passion, so I don't care if it runs it or not.

但總體而言，似乎運行良好

Ok, so the big irony here is that on one hand,

所以，我想我們可以安全地將此列表擴展到Windows 10

operating as a Mac,

我相信它能運行Win8，但我有夠討厭Win8，所以我不在乎能不能

the machine is a little bit out of date,

好的，所以最諷刺的點是，一方面，

but it's still usable.

作為Mac運行，

But on the other hand,

機器有點過時了，

as a Windows machine, it's actually perfectly up to date

但它仍然可用

and can run the latest and greatest stuff.

但另一方面，

So, the last thing I needed to try was Linux, and I decided on Ubuntu

作為Windows機器，它確實挺新的

since it's the most popular distro from what I can tell.

並可以運行最新最好的東西

I installed Ubuntu 15.10, which is the latest version available,

所以，最後我要測試的是Linux平台，然後我決定用Ubuntu

and it worked perfectly, and all the hardware appeared to be supported out of the box.

因為那是就我所知最受歡迎的版本

I didn't do a huge amount of testing, but it appeared that any software compiled for Ubuntu would work just fine,

我安裝了Ubuntu 15.10，這是最新版本，

which means the latest and greatest Linux software should work.

它運行得很完美，所有硬體顯然出人意料的支援了

So, where does my obsolete meter place this computer?

我沒有做大量的測試，但似乎任何為Ubuntu編譯的軟體都可以正常運行，

I'm going to put it just a hair into the green,

這意味著最新最好的Linux軟體應該跑得動

I think within a year or two it will work its way into the red,

那麼，我這台電腦應該放在落伍計量表的那一段？

but for now it's a usable computer for most people.

我要把它放在綠色的邊緣上，

Now, I'd also like to take a moment to point out something else.

我認為在一兩年內，它將進入紅色區域，

Most of the MacBooks produced were of the Core 2 variety,

但現在它對大多數人來說是台可用的電腦

which means that they were not only 64 bit machines,

現在，我也想花點時間來指出別的

but they could also hold a lot more RAM.

顯然大多數MacBooks都是Core 2品種，

And I'm well aware that I have a lot of Apple haters watching my channel,

這意味著他們不僅是64位元機器，

and many of them always ask why I would use a Mac.

但是他們也可以擁有更多的記憶體

Well, I would like to point out something about these old MacBooks.

而我很清楚，有很多蘋果黑觀看我的頻道

As I've already shown, they can run a wide variety of operating systems.

其中許多人總是問我為什麼要使用Mac

But I think the thing that makes them particularly great,

那麼，關於這些舊MacBook我有幾點要說

is because of the great number of them that were produced.

正如我展現的，他們可以運行各種各樣的操作系統

In fact, Apple made these systems here, for many years, all the way from 2006 to 2009,

但是我認為這讓他們變得更好

and they all share pretty much the exact same parts

是因為他們生產數量很多。

I mean, they have different logic boards in them,

事實上，蘋果製作了這些系統，多年來一直從2006年到2009年

because the processors were upgraded every year or so,

他們都分享了完全相同的部分

but they all have the same LCD, same keyboard, same optical drive, same bezel components,

我的意思是他們有不同的主機板

and even the black and the white units are interchangable with all the parts,

因為處理器每年都升級，

so it's really easy to get parts for these things and keep them running.

但是他們都有相同的LCD，相同的鍵盤，相同的光碟機，相同的擋板組件，

So to be honest, even if I didn't like Apple's operating systems,

甚至黑色和白色的單位都可以與所有的部分互換，

I would still buy one of these in order to run Windows on it just to have a cheap Windows computer.

所以很容易得到這些東西的零件並保持運行。

And you can typically pick up one of the Core 2 models for well under $100 on eBay.

老實說，即使我不喜歡蘋果的作業系統，

Well, thanks for watching, I know it's been a while since I've had a video come out

我仍然會為了運行Windows去購買一台，只是為了有台便宜的Windows電腦

because I've been sick for a little while, and I had all kinds of crazy stuff going on.

您通常可以在eBay上選擇低於100美元的Core 2型號

But, don't worry, I have not abandoned you,

好的，感謝觀看，我知道從上一期以來有段時間了

I have dozens of videos in progress that you'll be seeing soon,

因為我生病了一陣子，各種煩惱的事情在打轉

so I'll see you next time!

但是，別擔心，我沒有放棄你，
