Measuring a mere 1.08 inches thin and weighing in at only 5.0 pounds, the MacBook cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or briefcase). A durable polycarbonate shell in white keeps it ready for the rough and tumble of everyday life. It also offers a unique keyboard design that sits flush against the bed for a sleeker, lower profile–which means you experience a firm, responsive touch when typing. Other standard Apple “extras” includes a built-in iSight video camera and Apple’s magnetically connected MagSafe power adapter, which safely disconnects when under strain.
It comes pre-loaded with Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system–an operating system custom-designed for the advanced technology inside–and it also comes with the iLife ’09 suite of applications, including iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes.
Other hardware features include a built-in Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), two USB ports, a FireWire 400 port, and Mini-DVI video output.
Apple Innovations
One of Apple’s most celebrated innovations is the MagSafe power adapter connector with offers a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So, if you happen to trip over a power cord, you won’t send MacBook flying off a table or desk–the cord simply disconnects, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors.
Cleverly integrated above your MacBook display is an iSight camera, providing easy video chat capability when using iChat. You can also snap photos in Photo Booth to send via email, as well as record videos and then edit them in iMovie before uploading them to web sites.
 The magnetically connected MagSafe power adapter breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the MacBook, if you trip over the cord. |
 With two-finger scrolling, the trackpad becomes a fast track to wherever you want to go. |
The trackpad can tell if you’ve got one finger on the pedal, or two. With two, you can easily scroll around your documents or open contextual menus. When you need right-click functionality, simply open “Keyboard and Mouse” in System Preferences and enable the secondary click preference. Opening and closing your MacBook is also a pleasure, thanks to a magnetic latch that catches without a catch. And because it’s a magnet, there are no moving parts to snag, jam, or break.
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
Experience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the workhorse Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which has a 2.13 GHz processor speed, ultra-fast 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
 |
The hafnium-infused circuitry–which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors–conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. With a substantial 3 MB of shared L2 cache, data and instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly increasing performance and allowing the entire system to work more efficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 cache, either can use the entire amount if the other happens to be idle.
Hard Drive and Memory
The 160 GB Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive (5400 RPM) quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. The 2 GB of DDR2 RAM (two SO-DIMMs of 512 MB) have an 800 MHz speed, and the RAM capacity can be increased to 4 GB.
Wireless Connectivity
The built-in 802.11n wireless networking provides up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g, but it’s also backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g routers, enabling you to communicate with the a wide variety of Wi-Fi resources. It works seamlessly with the new AirPort Extreme with 802.11n. Use the built-in Bluetooth wireless technology to connect to your PDA or cell phone, synchronize addresses, or download pictures from your cell phone. You can also use a wireless headset for iChat audio chats and VoIP calls as well as quickly share files with a colleague.
Display and Graphics
Whether you’re working on a Keynote presentation or watching a movie before you catch a flight, every document, video, and photo on your MacBook will look sharp on the glossy 13.3-inch widescreen display. With pixel-perfect 1280-by-800 resolution, it’s great for viewing and working with media. Video is powered by the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor, which shares 256 MB of DDR2 SDRAM with main memory. Graphics-intensive features in iPhoto and iMovie are smoother and 3D game play–from Spore to Call of Duty–is faster and more responsive. You’ll get extended desktop and video mirroring, with simultaneous support of full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 1920 by 1200 pixels on an external display–both at millions of colors
Video Conferencing with Built-in iSight
Artfully placed in the display bezel is an iSight camera, which enables easy video conferencing as well as allows you to snap pictures of yourself and create video podcasts. Using the iChat AV application, video conferencing is integrated into your iChat buddy list, so initiating a video conference is a breeze. iChat also lets you hold audio chats with up to 10 people and provides high-quality audio compression and full-duplex sound so conversation can flow naturally. For video podcasting, you can record a short clip using the iSight camera, then use iWeb to create a video blog entry or post your GarageBand-recorded podcast.

Designed with the Environment in Mind
Apple has worked hard to eliminate many of the toxins that are a common part of computer manufacturing. Apple engineers removed the majority of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators, adhesives, and more in the MacBook.
Because Apple makes both the hardware and the software for the MacBook, they’re designed to work together to produce a smarter product that uses less electricity. For instance, to reduce energy consumption, the MacBook hard drive spins down automatically when inactive. The MacBook also decides which processor–CPU or GPU–is best suited to efficiently perform a task. The processor even throttles down to save power between keystrokes as you type. Together, these adjustments make the MacBook much more energy efficient and result in fewer CO2 emissions.
The MacBook meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR certification. MacBook also meets the latest efficiency requirements of ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 Specification for Computers before its July 2009 effective date.
The MacBook has also earned the highest rating of EPEAT Gold. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, or EPEAT, evaluates the environmental impact of a product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how it’s designed and manufactured.

2 Comments »How Apple Is Like The Rolling Stones
Author: Janet Odell
Apple without a new product is like the Stones without a tour, reliant on an aging back catalog of old hits. But maybe CEO Tim Cook has a few of Mick Jagger's moves up his sleeve.
Via: The Rolling Stones, Mark Seliger / AP
This weekend marked the 10th anniversary of iTunes, and music offers a pretty good metaphor for Apple’s current position: The company has become the Wall Street equivalent of the Rolling Stones.
Despite posting better-than-expected second quarter earnings that included a profit of $ 9.5 billion and a plan to return $ 100 billion to shareholders over the next three years through dividends and stock buy backs, Apple shares ended last week at $ 417.20, up for the week but well below their 52-week high of $ 705.07. Analysts and investors who have gotten used to Apple devices such as the iPod and iPad dominating both the market and mindshare are increasingly worried that the company's well of hit products has gone dry. Its TV device has yet to take hold and reports that its next product could be a potential Inspector Gadget-like smartwatch don't seem all that inspired for a company that has revolutionized three industries — music, telecommunications, mobile computing — with its products.
“They did increase the share buyback, and that's a band aid,” Global Equities Research managing director Trip Chowdhry told Reuters. “The investor focus should be on, when are the new products coming? As soon as Apple launches new products, that's the key to the stock recovering. When that happens, the stock could go to all-time highs. But unless Apple comes out with new products, the stock will be going sideways.”
In that quote lies the similarity between Apple and the Rolling Stones. Strip out the words “Apple” and “product” and replace them with “Rolling Stones” and “tour” and Chowdhry sounds like your typical record executive. Here, let's try it: “As soon as the [Rolling Stones] launch a new [tour], that's the key to the stock recovering…. But unless the [Rolling Stones] comes out with a new [tour], the stock will be going sideways.”
Of course, the Stones don't have stock, but what Chowdhry — and many other analysts — are basically saying is that new products underpin Apple's stock in the same way that going out on tour underpins the Rolling Stones' finances.
Indeed, buying Apple stock used to be to investors what a Rolling Stones tour is to the band's members — a surefire money-maker. Now, however, investors look at Apple as the Rolling Stones without the tour, namely a company reliant on a back catalog of hits with no new ones to drive earnings on the horizon. Apple averaged annual earnings per share growth of 62 percent over the last five years, but its profit is now forecast to grow at just 4.5 percent a year for the next decade.
Never mind the fact that Apple sold 37.4 million iPhones, 19.5 million iPads, 5.6 million iPods and 4 million Mac computers last quarter. The raw numbers aren't important to investors — what's important is that those figures are down from the previous quarter and are expected to decline in subsequent quarters as products like the iPhone mature.
It's worth noting that while Steve Jobs was a big Rolling Stones fan, according to Walter Isaacson's biography the late Apple chief said that “somebody else could have replicated the Stones.” The same can be said about Apple's products. As much as Apple fans are loath to admit it, competitors such as Samsung, Google, and Amazon are making inroads against the company with lower-priced phones and tablets that can match Apple's technology if not its impeccable minimalist design aesthetic.
What's worse for Apple is that there is no way it can meet the astronomical expectations already built-in to its next product release. The odds are totally against the company. RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani told CNBC in February that he expects an Apple smartwatch to sell 40 million units and generate $ 9 billion in its first year. That's a lot of money for a product that hasn't even been confirmed yet!
Over the 10 year span from 2001-2010, Apple released the original versions and iPod, iPhone, and iPad, as well as their various updated iterations. That's a run of technological innovation and artistry equivalent to the string of groundbreaking albums the Rolling Stones released from 1968-1981, which began with “Beggars Banquet,” included “Let It Bleed,” “Sticky Fingers” and “Exile on Main Street,” and ended with “Tattoo You.”
The problem with those types of artistic runs is that fans (or in Apple's case investors) become conditioned to expect greatness every time out. But it's absurd to think every Rolling Stones album will match the greatness of “Exile on Main Street,” just as it is irresponsible for investors to think that the next Apple product will be as revolutionary as its past ones. The whiff of unmet expectations with which critics greeted “Dirty Work” when it was released in 1986 is tantamount to the disappointment the iPhone 4S with Siri received when it was released in 2011.
In the way that new Rolling Stones albums are ancillary to the band's tours, Apple can return its stock to some form of measured growth (the days of 60 percent earnings growth year-over-year are never coming back) with products that enhance its old gadgets in the absence of new ones. Writ large, products can take all forms, including software and services. Apple CEO Tim Cook alluded to “some really great stuff” coming in the fall and 2014, but he didn't specify what kind of stuff. It could be a smartwatch or a TV. It could be a refresh of its current product line with new features. Or it could be something entirely different, something that glams up and repackages its current hits to reinvigorate its older consumers, gain new ones and get investors excited about the stock again.
After all, the last full Rolling Stones tour in 2005-2007 wasn't about the album it was in support of, “A Bigger Bang.” No Rolling Stones tour in the last two decades has been about the album it was supposedly supporting. “Bigger Bang” was, like other Rolling Stones tours, about the past hits. And it was so successful, ranking as the second highest-grossing tour of all-time with $ 558 million, that the band is returning to the road for a new tour this year.
And maybe Tim Cook's product releases later this year will borrow as much from Jagger as they do from Jobs.
