Apple today has updated its MacBook consumer notebooks with faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 1GB of memory and larger hard drives in every model.
Apple say that 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 award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications.
Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing had this to say, "The MacBook is a huge hit with customers, and is one of the reasons that Mac sales are growing three times faster than PC sales. The new MacBook is faster, has even more memory and storage, and is an ideal notebook for customers’ growing library of digital music, photos and movies."
The one-inch thin MacBook comes in three models with a 13-inch glossy widescreen display. There are white 2.0 GHz and 2.16 GHz MacBook models, and a black 2.16 GHz MacBook model.
