The MacBook Craze!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The MacBook is a Macintosh notebook computer by Apple Inc. that replaced the iBook G4 series and the 12" PowerBook G4. It is a part of the MacBook family.

The original MacBook was released on May 16, 2006 and utilised the Intel 945GM chipset and the Intel Core Duo processor. Some of these early MacBooks had problems with "random shut downs". According to Apple, software and firmware updates have solved the issue.


The latest update to the MacBook line occurred on November 1, 2007. It utilises the Core 2 Duo processor and the GM965 chipset, which runs a 800 MHz front-side bus and Intel's X3100 integrated graphics.And the newest addition to the MacBook line is the recently unvieled MacBook Air wich was introduced during the Macworld Expo on the 15th of this Month.
The MacBook Air features a silvery aluminum casing which is fully recyclable, Greenpeace would be happy about that since Apple have frequently been in the crosshair with this environtmental group and added to that the CEO Steve Jobs explained further that it is "the first" to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass, another points for them fom Greenpeace huh!

Aside from this new addition to the MacBook family also features a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with 80 GB of storage capacity standard. A 64GB SSD drive is optional. The hard drive is a PATA model at 4200rpm. It is powered by Intel Core 2 Dou chip at a speed of 1.6GHz, with 1.8GHz available optionally. The Intel chip operates with 4MB of on-chip shared L2 cache running at full speed, and utilizes an 800MHz frontside bus. A 2GB of 667MH DDR2 SDRAM included.

Like its predecessor, the MacBook and the MacBook Pro, the Air features a slimmed down Mag Safe connector for power with 45 watt power adapter.802.11n-based wireless networking support and Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR included.

Lastly this new member of the MacBook family is small enough to fit inside an interoffice mailing envelope.
