Apple Unveils New MacBook With Intel Core 2 Duo Processors
CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today
unveiled its new line of MacBook(TM) consumer notebooks that now include
Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Just one-inch thin, the new MacBooks are up to
25 percent faster than the previous generation and feature a built-in
iSight(R) video camera for on-the-go video conferencing, Apple's
MagSafe(TM) Power Adapter that safely disconnects when under strain, and
iLife(R) '06, Apple's award-winning suite of digital lifestyle
applications.
"MacBook has helped drive Apple's notebook market share to over 10
percent in US retail, and the new MacBooks will be among this holiday
season's most exciting new products," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior
vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "With Intel Core 2 Duo
processors across the entire line, these new MacBooks are up to 25 percent
faster than their predecessors."
With prices starting at just $1,099, the new MacBook lineup includes
three models: sleek white 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz MacBook models, and a
stunning black 2.0 GHz MacBook model. With Intel's latest Core 2 Duo
processors, the new MacBook is up to 25 percent faster than the previous
MacBook and up to six times faster than the iBook(R), making it even easier
for consumers to manage and enjoy their digital content with iLife '06.*
Consumers will also benefit from the added power in the new 2.0 GHz models,
including double the memory and greater storage capacity than the previous
generation, as well as a double-layer SuperDrive(TM) for burning
professional-quality DVDs.
The new MacBook features a gorgeous 13-inch glossy widescreen display,
ideal for enjoying videos, DVDs and photos with Apple's breakthrough Front
Row media experience. The MacBook is just one-inch thin and includes a
built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing on-the-go with friends
or family using iChat AV, recording a video podcast or iMovie(R) using
iLife '06, or taking fun snapshots with Photo Booth.
Designed for the mobile lifestyle, the MacBook includes Apple's MagSafe
Power Adapter that magnetically connects the power cord to the MacBook and
safely disconnects under strain, preventing the notebook from falling off
its work surface. Apple now also offers a new MagSafe Airline Adapter that
makes using a MacBook on an airplane even more convenient by connecting to
in-seat power ports for continued productivity throughout the duration of a
flight. The MacBook also includes Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor, designed to
protect the hard drive in case of a fall, and a simple and intuitive
Scrolling TrackPad for scrolling through long web pages or panning across
large photographs.
The lightweight MacBook design includes built-in AirPort Extreme(R) and
Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), making it ideal to take anywhere
consumers work and play -- from the office, to the classroom and the local
WiFi hot spot. With the latest high-performance connectivity options, each
MacBook includes built-in 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0
ports, a FireWire(R) 400 port, combination analog and optical digital audio
input and output ports and a mini-DVI video output to connect up to a
23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display.
The MacBook comes with iLife '06, the next generation of Apple's
award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications featuring iPhoto(R),
iMovie HD, iDVD(R), GarageBand(TM) and iWeb(TM), the latest iLife
application that makes it super-easy to create amazing websites with
photos, blogs and podcasts and publish them on .Mac for viewing by anyone
on the Internet with just a single click.** The MacBook also comes with the
latest release of the world's most advanced operating system, Mac OS(R) X
version 10.4.8 Tiger, including Safari(TM), Mail, iCal(R), iChat AV, Front
Row and Photo Booth, running natively on the Intel-based notebook.
