    What can I do with my 2006 Core2Duo MBP?

    Clarification: 17" 2006 MacBook Pro Intel Core2Duo 2.33gHz (I think) Tldr; my 2006 Core2Duo MBP is useless because MacOS patchers only work with 2007 and later macs.

    How much 'System Data' does your Mac Have?

    I'm trying to live with my 128GB 2017 MacBook Pro. Every time I have to run a software update I usually have to uninstall programs and delete all my extra files. It's really a pain in the butt; but what's MORE annoying is that macOS uses most of my drive. Is this a lot for 'System Data'...
