What do you get when you put up to 2.16GHz of pure Intel Core 2 Duo power, an iSight camera, Front Row, iLife ’06, and a 13-inch glossy widescreen display into a sleek case? More than you thought possible for less than you thought possible. Meet MacBook, starting at $1099.
Better bang-to-buck ratio
Now the Intel Core 2 Duo is as affordable as it is powerful. With MacBook,
you get the world’s fastest mobile architecture in a beautifully
designed notebook that costs less than slower, clunkier models. That’s
like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Of course, MacBook
holds more than your average two-seater: up to 160GB hard drive, an
optional DVD-burning SuperDrive, built-in Bluetooth, wireless-ready
(802.11n) AirPort, and up to 2GB of RAM. And for the first time ever,
choose bright white or sleek black.
Friends for iLife
Every MacBook comes with iLife ’06 – an amazing suite of applications
that make it easy to live the digital life. Use iPhoto to share entire
high-res photo albums with anyone who’s got an email address. Record
your own songs and podcasts with GarageBand. Break into indie filmmaking
with iMovie HD and iDVD. Then take all the stuff you made on your
MacBook and share it on the web in one click with iWeb.(2) Just turn on
your MacBook and you’re halfway there.
Take it on tour
MacBook features Front Row, so you can navigate your movies, music,
photos, and more at the touch of the included Apple Remote – no matter
where you roam. Give an impromptu vacation photo slideshow in your
favorite café. Screen your latest iMovie on the train. Watch a DVD in
bed. MacBook and Front Row give you the best seat in the house (or out
of it).
All smiles Look closely. See that little lens in the display bezel? That’s the MacBook’s built-in iSight camera. Use it to video chat simply by opening iChat AV and clicking on a buddy icon (or three). Or fire up Photo Booth and take a few snapshots with the iSight, play around with sixteen 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.(2) Looks like fun.
Positively brilliant
Thanks to a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display that’s 79% brighter with
30% more viewing area than the iBook before it, MacBook provides the
perfect combination of pixels and portability. Photos feel crisper.
Movies play vividly. Even daily tasks like surfing the Web and checking
email take on a whole new sheen.
Hit the hotspots
The built-in wireless capability of MacBook puts the “world” back in
“world wide web.” If there’s a wireless hotspot nearby, you can get
online. No need to burn valuable surfing time configuring your computer.
Just open it up. MacBook automatically detects wireless networks within
range and asks nicely if you’d like to join any of them. That’s it.
Catch up on your blog, share this weekend’s trip as a photocast, or just
chat with your friends. Anytime, anywhere.
MacBook: the most advanced affordable Mac notebook ever.
