A mere 2.75 cm (1.08 inches) thin and weighing only 2.27 kg (5.0
pounds), MacBook cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or
briefcase). And since MacBook is sure to become your constant
companion, a durable polycarbonate shell keeps it ready for the rough
and tumble of everyday life.
Whether you’re working on your next Keynote presentation or watching a
movie before you catch a flight, every document, video and photo on
your MacBook will look sharp on the glossy 13.3-inch widescreen
display. With pixel-perfect 1280-by-800 resolution, it’s great for
viewing and working with media.
MacBook features a unique keyboard design that sits flush against the
bed for a lower profile. That means you experience a firm, responsive
touch when typing. Now that ought to make your fingers happy.
Music, photos, movies — not to mention your documents and other files —
all start adding up. And add up they can, because the new MacBook
offers larger hard drives across the line. With up to 2GB of memory
standard (the 2.4Ghz only), you can multi-task like never before
Inside the new MacBook is the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor based
on 45nm-process technology and advanced Core microarchitecture. This
powerful technology lets Intel create hundreds of millions of
microscopic 45-nanometre transistors. And the advancements keep
advancing with 3MB of shared L2 cache and a newly enhanced SSE4 vector
engine. Translation: you get a MacBook with snappier performance that
runs applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Sometimes your work needs room. So extend your MacBook desktop by
connecting a 20- or 23-inch Apple Cinema Display. But why stop the
add-ons there? Your MacBook also includes two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire
400 port, Gigabit Ethernet, audio input and headphone jacks, and a
convenient lock slot.
When you want to burn a party mix CD or a Hollywood-calibre iMovie
creation, do so on a 24x Combo drive or an 8x double-layer SuperDrive.
The MagSafe Power Adaptor is just that: a magnetic connection instead
of a physical one. So tripping over a power cord won’t send your shiny
new MacBook flying off a table or desk. The cord simply breaks cleanly
away, without damage to either the cord or the system.
With two-finger scrolling, the trackpad becomes a fast track to
wherever you want to go. And if you come from a right-click world, it’s
easy to make the MacBook fit in your comfort zone. There are shortcuts
for right-click functionality, forward delete and more.
Opening and closing your MacBook is a pleasure, thanks to a magnetic
latch that catches without a catch. And because it’s a magnet, there
are no moving parts to snag, jam or break.
Cleverly integrated above your MacBook display is an iSight camera. You
can be there without being there using iChat. Video chat with a buddy,
share a photo slideshow with Mum, or run through a presentation with a
colleague. Since you’re close-up ready, use iSight with Photo Booth for
fun photo effects. Or star in your own indie flick with iMovie. Like
everything Mac, your iSight just works. No need to waste valuable
primping time installing software or configuring the camera. Just smile.
MacBook comes with built-in wireless capabilities that let you do
everything you need to do, anywhere you need to do it. Wi-Fi networks
show up right on your desktop. Just click and connect, and you can surf
the web, send email, video chat and more. Easily share files with other
users on the network using Bonjour. And stay in sync with your
Bluetooth-enabled phone courtesy of Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR.
Time Machine is the breakthrough automatic backup that’s built right
into Mac OS X. Now Time Capsule — a server-grade hard drive plus Wi-Fi
base station — lets you use Time Machine to wirelessly back up your
files. And it happens in the background so you never have to worry
about backing up again.
AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and Time Capsule all include a USB
port, so you can connect a printer and print wirelessly from your
MacBook anywhere in your home. And the convenience of wireless printing
is extended not only to you, but to others on your network, including
PC users.
