why couldnt the 2008 macbook run oses beyond snow leopard
out of curiosity - the core 2 duo can run el capitan but the 2008 macbook could only run up to snow leopard. why?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.1
According to MacTracker, there are no 2008 Mac notebooks for which Snow Leopard is the end of the line. Here are the maximum OSes broken down by model.
MacBooks
MacBook Airs
MacBook Pros
I assume the reason why is because the 2008 macbook's hardware is too old to meet the minimum requirements needed to run any version of macOS above snow leopard. So, despite the ability of the Intel core 2 Duo to run El Capitan, there are other factors that come into play when determining whether or not a certain model of the MacBook can run a certain version of macOS, such as RAM.
