The company claims to have produced for the first time, a notebook from an aluminum unibody enclosure, which makes the MacBook thinner, lighter, durable and yes more appealing.
Apple has the reputation of never failing to please its customers and the new Apple MacBook is the proof!

Apple has included a comfortable and responsive keyboard, making your typing activities stress free. The two available models are the 2.0 GHz MacBook and the 2.4 GHz MacBook. The latter like the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, comes with an illuminated keyboard, which efficiently helps you in low light conditions. The trackpad now with the Multi-Touch gestures also serves as the button. The absence of the buttons means you have greater space to move your fingers around the silky smooth glass surface. You can use two fingers to scroll up and down a page, pinch to zoom in and out and experience the three and four finger swipe gestures.

The 13.3 inch LED backlit screen enchants the user with its glossy display. The aluminum casing is well combined with the glass that extends to the corners of the notebook, without any integrated metal. The LED backlit display produces a better display quality and is more power saving than the ordinary display screens.

The MacBook makes it possible to play 3D games, view movies with a rich array of colours and use graphic-intensive applications such as iPhoto and iMovie at high speeds. Thanks to the built-in NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphic card, graphic performance is now delivered up to five times faster.

A hard drive of up to 320 GB allows you to carry all your favourite movies and songs and important documents on the go. You can even upgrade to a 128 GB solid-state drive, consisting of immovable parts, which greatly enhances the disk’s durability. The SuperDrive enables you to burn your movies or data, taking the load off your notebook and making room for more storage.

The machine encloses the grand Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which has the 2.0 GHz or 2.4 GHz running speed, depending upon the model. A 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SD RAM lets you run multiple applications simultaneously without slowing down your notebook. In addition, there are two included So-DIMM slots that support up to 4 GB of RAM. A promising combination of the processor and RAM ensures a faster performance laptop, meeting up to your demands.

The MacBook features the Mac OS X v10.5 leopard, which also comes with installed softwares like Quick Look, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD player, Photo Booth and X Code Developer Tools.

There are two USB 2.0 ports, through which you may connect any desired accessory, be it your printer, scanner or a USB mouse. A Mini Display Port is included in the notebook, which allows connection for the new Apple LED Cinema Display. The MagSafe power port protects your system and valuable data through a trip-proof connection. In addition to this, you can even safeguard your MacBook, battery and hard drive via the Kensington lock slot. Audio line in and out slots also accompany these expansion slots.

At the top of your MacBook, rests the iSight camera- which is almost hidden. You can use it to capture pictures and videos or use it as a web cam. You can add effects to your photos by using the iSight with the Photo Booth.

The MacBook offers Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Ethernet technology, all integrated in its perfectly designed board. The battery can support up to 5 hours of wireless connectivity. Bluetooth can be very handy at times, especially when you want to connect a keyboard or mouse but don’t want the wires to restrict your movements. Apple itself offers many wireless keyboards and mice, which connect you to your notebook via the Bluetooth.

Last but not the least; Apple MacBook is greener than any of its competitors. The notebook is not only mercury and arsenic free, but also completely eliminates the use of chlorine and bromine compounds throughout its manufacture. Made up of glass and aluminum only, almost whole of the MacBook can be recycled.

I would highly recommend the Apple MacBook, which serves as your iPod, your iPhone and your notebook, brought together into one piece of machinery on your lap. Its ideal combination of durable hardware and software makes it a compact, portable and efficient laptop. True, Apple has given us the taste of the next generation notebooks, with no doubt that MacBook would be one of the leaders. (MD)
