Starting at just $1099, MacBook is perfectly designed for your mobile lifestyle — with Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 1GB of memory, and larger hard drives in all models. There’s also a slew of innovative features, including a built-in iSight camera for video chatting on the go, iLife ’08, Front Row, a glossy 13-inch widescreen display, and even dual-display support.
Better bang-to-buck ratio: The most advanced and affordable Mac notebook ever gives you a blazingly fast mobile architecture in a beautiful design that costs less than slower, clunkier models. It’s like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Talk about performance — MacBook is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with speeds revving up to 2.16GHz. And all models pack a performance-enhancing 4MB of shared L2 cache.
Pack more punch: In bright white or sleek black, MacBook supports up to 2GB of memory and plenty of storage. All models offer larger hard drives, but if you haul a lot of data around, you can order your MacBook with up to 200GB of storage. That’s not all. MacBook keeps you untethered courtesy of built-in Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi offering up to five times the performance and up to twice the range as the previous generation.1 An 8x double-layer-burning SuperDrive — standard equipment on the 2.16GHz models — not only lets you burn DVDs faster but lets you burn capacious double-layer media.
Friends for iLife: Every MacBook comes with iLife ’08 — an amazing suite of applications that make it easy to live the digital life. Use iPhoto to share entire high-res photo albums with anyone who’s got an email address. Record your own songs and podcasts with GarageBand. Break into indie filmmaking with iMovie HD and iDVD. Then take all the stuff you made on your MacBook and share it on the web in one click with iWeb.2 Just turn on your MacBook and you’re halfway there.
All smiles: Look closely. See that little lens in the display bezel? That’s the built-in iSight camera. Use it to video chat simply by opening iChat AV and clicking a buddy icon (or three).2 Or fire up Photo Booth and take a few snapshots with the iSight, play around with 16 fun effects, then admire your handiwork. That little camera lets you create web-ready videos, too. Just open up iMovie and start the action. From there, iWeb makes it one-click easy to get your talking head on the web.3 Looks like fun.
Take it on tour: MacBook also features Front Row, so you can navigate your movies, music, photos, and more at the touch of the included Apple Remote — no matter where you roam. Give an impromptu vacation photo slideshow in your favorite café. Screen your latest iMovie creation on the train. Watch a DVD in bed. MacBook and Front Row give you the best seat in the house (or out of it).
Positively brilliant: Thanks to a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display, MacBook provides the perfect combination of pixels and portability. Photos feel crisper. Movies play vividly. Even daily tasks like surfing the web and checking email take on a whole new sheen.
Hit the hot spots: The built-in wireless capability of MacBook puts the “world” back in “World Wide Web.” If there’s a wireless hot spot nearby, you can get online. No need to waste valuable surfing time configuring your computer. Just open it up. MacBook automatically detects wireless networks within range and asks nicely if you’d like to join any of them. That’s it. Catch up on your blog, share this weekend’s trip as a Photocast, or just chat with your friends. Anytime, anywhere.
Intel Core 2 Duo: MacBook offers powerful performance in a sleek design, thanks to Intel Core 2 Duo processors with speeds up to 2.16GHz — and 4MB of shared L2 cache in all models.
iLife ’08: Every MacBook includes iLife ’08, the latest version of Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications. With major upgrades to iPhoto, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand and a completely reinvented iMovie, iLife ’08 gives you amazing new ways to enjoy photos, create movies, make music, build websites, and more.
Front Row: Enjoy your music, movies, photos, and videos from across the room and even across the house with the Front Row media experience and Apple Remote. Intuitive Apple hardware and software make it easy to put on a show.
iSight: If you’re the kind to carry a digital camera everywhere you go, you and MacBook will really click. MacBook carries a camera around too: a built-in iSight camera, perfect for video chatting, making an impromptu movie, or snapping silly mugshots.
Design: Good design leaves nothing to chance. Great design anticipates it. No surprise, then, that MacBook features little touches — like a klutz-proof power adapter and a nifty magnetic latch — that make your computing experience as streamlined as MacBook itself.
Wireless ( Wi-Fi ): No power cord, no Ethernet cable, no headphone jack, no wires. No problem. With a long battery life and built-in AirPort and Bluetooth, you can get online virtually anywhere. It’s not magic. It’s MacBook.
