MacBooks get more speed, power and capacity
Apple today updated its MacBook consumer notebooks with faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 1GB of memory and larger hard drives in every model.
As before, the MacBook is just one-inch thin and features built-in 802.11n wireless networking for up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g. Every MacBook also includes a built-in iSight video camera for on-the-go video conferencing, Apple’s MagSafe Power Adapter that safely disconnects when under strain, and iLife ’06, Apple’s suite of digital lifestyle applications.
Featuring a gorgeous 13-inch glossy widescreen display, the one-inch thin MacBook comes in three models: sleek white 2.0 GHz and 2.16 GHz MacBook models, and a stunning black 2.16 GHz MacBook model.
The new MacBooks are available immediately through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. The 2.0 GHz, 13-inch white MacBook sells for a suggested retail price of USD$1,099, the 2.16 GHz, 13-inch white MacBook sells for USD$1,299, and the 2.16 GHz, 13-inch black MacBook sells for USD$1,499.
Additional build-to-order options for the MacBook include the ability to upgrade to 120GB or 160GB (5400 rpm) or a 200GB (4200 rpm) hard drive, up to 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, Apple USB Modem, Apple Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter and the AppleCare Protection Plan. Additional build-to-order options also include pre-installed copies of iWork ’06, Logic Express 7, Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Aperture 1.5.
