MacBook is here!!!
16 05 2006
Wow this thing is sexy….and in black or white. It is avail in 13.3″ widescreen only (1280 X 800). Speed is 1.83 or 2.0 Ghz both Core Duo. Up to 2 gigs of ram, 120 gig hard drive max out these systems.
There are 3 models in total.
White $1099:
13.3-inch widescreen display
1280 x 800 resolution
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo1
512MB memory (2×256MB SODIMMs)
60GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive2
Combo drive (DVD-ROM, CD-RW)
White $1299:
13.3-inch widescreen display
1280 x 800 resolution
2.0GHz Intel Core Duo1
512MB memory (2×256MB SODIMMs)
60GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive2
SuperDrive (DVD±RW, CD-RW)
Black $1499:
13.3-inch widescreen display
1280 x 800 resolution
2.0GHz Intel Core Duo1
512MB memory (2×256MB SODIMMs)
80GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive2
SuperDrive (DVD±RW, CD-RW)

It even has FrontRow and the iSight built in!!! These are pratically the same laptop as the MacBook Pro’s…except screen size….even the bus speed is the same. The other difference is that it uses onboard video memory up to 64 megs….yuck. For Keynote presentations (my main use for an Apple laptop..I am not sure this will be enough).
Personally, I wouldn’t get the black model. If it is anything like the black iPods or black nanos, it will scratch and smudge like a mofo. On top of that, it is $200 for the black model that only comes with 20 extra gigs of storage space.
