MacBook And MackBook Pro
MackBooks are the latest products to be upgraded by Apple. In last couple of months Apple upgrades and lowers products cost quite often. Before MackBook and MackBook Pro upgrade, iPod Shuffle was cut down from $79 to only $49. In the same time, Apple introduced new iPod Shuffle with 2Gb.
New MackBooks now have the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors, bigger hard drives and 2GB of RAM standard (most models). MacBook Pro got some extra strength with NVIDIA graphics processors with 512MB of RAM and Multi-Touch trackpad. You probably remember the trackpad from MacBook Air.
MacBook will now have a video camera and a power adapter that safely disconnects when under strain. That’s quite useful for preserving the life of your laptop computer. And your nerves, of course.
MacBook Pro versions will be a 2.6 GHz processor with 6MB of shared L2 cache, which will satisfy advanced users. If that’s not enough, then 4GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM will close the deal. 300GB hard drive with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics will make sure a hardcore gamer never complains about the capabilities of MacBook laptop computer. The most interesting thing for me is an illuminated keyboard that makes it ideal for dimly lit environments. Excellent when you’re using a laptop in a room where someone is sleeping so you can’t see the keyboards at all.
The prices are the sweetest thing about MacBook laptops right now. $1,099 is a startup price for a MacBook lineup, and there are three different models - processors, hard drives and maximum memory will be different, depending on the type of the MacBook.
