MacBook
The MacBook is a line of Macintosh notebook computers by Apple, which replaced the iBook G4 series as well as the 12" PowerBook G4. The original MacBook was built around the Intel Core Duo chip and released on May 16, 2006. On November 8, 2006 Apple refreshed the MacBook line, by including an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an updated AirPort Extreme (with wireless-N capability). On May 15, 2007 Apple refreshed the second generation with faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, more memory and higher capacity hard drives.
The compact and elegant design of a macbook, plus the power and speed of the new Intel technology, combined with the incomparable and unsurpassed Mac OS. What else can you ask for? That is the reason why people love mac and why it is still the best piece of machine for graphic artist , student or any individual all over world who just wanted to keep their music files, videos and documents organize. A user friendly OS bundled with softwares you can use to edit videos, store music files and more. It's an all-in-one notebook that can multitask your every command without slowing down.
Appearance
The MacBook's appearance is loosely based on that of its predecessor, the iBook G4. In addition to the classic white case, Apple is offering a premium black case option; both cases are made of polycarbonate, the thermoplastic Apple is known for using in many of its products. The two-color decision has received some criticism due to the fact that the base black model had originally cost US$150 more than a white model with the same hardware configuration.[9] With the latest price revision, this has been reduced to US$125.
Display
The MacBook features a glossy display, a first from Apple, which had used anti-glare displays exclusively in its previous portables. The different reflective properties of glossy displays are said to increase color saturation when compared with anti-glare displays. The display has a narrower viewing angle than the anti-glare displays and may glare in bright or fluorescent lighting. Apple's approach with the new glossy display is similar to that of other PC manufacturers such as Sony with its XBRITE displays, Dell's TrueLife, or Toshiba's TruBrite.
Keyboard
The MacBook also features a new sunken keyboard design. Unlike the iBook, Powerbook G3, and Titanium PowerBook's keyboards, it is not removable; instead, each key is individually integrated into the casing with about 1.5 mm between neighboring keys. This is ostensibly intended to give the keyboard a sturdier feel and to avoid keyboard contact with the screen when closed. The color scheme for keys and labels is white and grey for the white model and black and white for the black model.
iSight Camera
The MacBook also features a buit-in iSight camera. Use it to video chat simply by opening iChat AV and clicking a buddy icon (or three). 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. Looks like fun.
