Apple MacBook laptops

Apple’s new MacBook laptops can be seen in two ways: more advanced as well as somewhat more expensive 13-inch MacBook classic versions, but they can also be seen as little stripped-down versions of the 15” and 17” MacBook Pro line. Some experts have named these new versions as the Apple MacBook Pro Mini.

When it comes to inner stuff, Nvidia’s new chipset with enhanced integrated graphics is a real nice thing to mention. Many physical changes have also been made outside that include unibody aluminum chassis, the buttonless touchpad and sleek glass on the LED-backlit.

Its base model has the same $1,299 price tag, but the FireWire port is missing in its transition. And instead of a 2.4GHz CPU, this $1299 model houses a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo. There is the same 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor in the high-end model. Both these new MacBook models run on a quicker front-side bus.

Without FireWire and slower CPU, this new MacBook really expresses an impressive feat and value of engineering and this is a thing that almost everyone can expect from a flagship product of the company and which has been serving as favorite for quite some time.

Some notable physical changes have been made that include an aluminum chassis instead of well-known white and black body. New totally redesigned touchpad is another new notable feature and it has the same multitouch gestures that you can see in the iPhone as well as in MacBook Air and Pro.

When it comes to display, the 13.3” LCD display gives out a nice 1280X800 native resolution that is standard for 13 and 15” screens. It makes text and icons quite clearly readable LED-backlit displays have also been added that indicate towards a thinner lid and various benefits including sound battery life.


This new MacBook is not nicely packed with connections as it has only two 2.0 USB ports without any FireWire. But this time you would find them an SD-card reader as well as an ExpressCard slot that you may have desired in Mac for quite some time.

When it comes to performance, without some new CPU options, the real great development has been made by packing a new Nvidia chipset in it that is also called the 9400M GeForce that has some nice improved integrated graphics. These GeForce 9400 graphics are quite impressive and offer 58.7 frames per second at the resolution of 1024×768.

As far as battery life is concerned, these laptops from Apple’s laptops are quite well known for their above average battery life and the same impressiveness you can expect from these new laptops. Apple has the knack to impress as well as somewhat frustrate with its nice service and support and the same is true about these new laptops.
