How to know if an app is 32-bit or 64-bit? Which Mac operating system is the best so far? Windows, please read: Why macOS is better than Windows? We will walk you through the Mac operating systems list in three categories - macOS, OS X, and Mac OS X, starting from the latest Mac OS - macOS Ventura.

It's praised for its straightforward graphical interface and high security but criticized for updating problems and hardware limitations. I am on my second battery in 2023, and I generally baby my batteries by running the laptop on AC power most of the time, while letting the batteries drain out every several weeks.The Mac operating system(Mac OS) is the second most widely-used operating system targeted for Apple's Mac family of personal computers. You may also find that a replacement battery is in order, depending on how much life you are still getting from your original battery. In summary, upgrading this machine's memory to 4GB or higher and the hard drive to a SATA SSD still provides quite a bit of horsepower for such an old machine, as Apple was fairly generous with the hardware specs for the Late 2009 White Unibody MacBook machine in comparison with the MacBook Pros that were available at the time. One can still get by with as little as 4GB on a modern machine as long as they have also upgraded it to an SSD (as you have since asking the question). I've had mine up to 8GB but it's back to 6GB now as I don't use the machine all that often.

As you've found (from your comments), upgrading your memory was a great and very simple approach to improving this machine's performance.

I doubt you care to go back in time to Lion anymore.

Mountain Lion was the preferred version of "OS X" over Lion back in the day, as El Capitan was to Yosemite and High Sierra was to Sierra.

A bit of online searching for "unibody MacBook 2009" along with the desired macOS in question can yield some interesting results. Unofficially, this machine can run newer versions of macOS.

The ideal macOS for this machine is High Sierra, the last official macOS available for this machine from Apple.

Since it's been a while since this question has been answered, and this machine still seems to be in use (at least by the question author and myself) as of last year, I'll toss in a three-part answer from 2023's perspective: I put 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD in place of Superdrive in same machine recently, installed 10.10 and it will be fine for few more years for light to medium tasks. It is no faster than Mavericks on 2GB but it is definitely slower than 10.6 Snow Leopard. But if you need 10.10 it will also be fine. Clearly 10.9 behaves a lot more solid on the machine. Regarding OS X choice it is either 10.9 as more polished or 10.10 as the latest. It supports up to 2x4GB SO-DIMM DDR3-1066 modules(choose big names like Hynix, Samsung, Crucial for compatibility). Then I would say add 8GB while you are there. And it is not that hard really with this machine see instruction.

At least latest NTP patch doesn't apply to it. It will be fast though few resource hungry apps or web pages can bog it down.Īnother minus of the path is that Snow Leopard being released Jis going to be unsupported soon if not already.

If you don't want to open up machine then install Snow Leopard as leanest of them all.
