To me, a computer is a tool that needs to work first time, every time. It needs to be intuitive, stable and, most importantly, secure.

The design integrity of Apple's hardware and software is unparalleled in the industry, providing Mac users with the peace of mind that their identity and data is as protected as it can possibly be. At the local Apple Service Centre where I am on call for training and tech support, we frequently get PCs in for virus removal. Not a single Mac has come in with a virus, ever!

The strict quality control that can only come from Apple's famous 'in-house' manufacturing process has contributed to many evolutionary products like the iPod, iPhone and iMac...

...items that have not only changed the way we interact with technology and each other, but contributed to massive cultural evolutionary change, and will continue to do so into the forseeable future.

Say goodbye to on-line criminals and viruses forever by switching to Mac.

The not-so-bare essentials.

A brilliant display. A Multi-Touch trackpad. A fast processor. And a battery that won’t tie you down. What more could you want in an affordable notebook?

A glossy widescreen display with vivid colour and instant-on brightness.

 

Advanced NVIDIA graphics, a fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory and a large drive up to 500GB.

 

Work or play for up to 10 hours between charges thanks to the long-lasting battery.1

 

Plenty of room to navigate and more innovative ways to interact with your MacBook.

 

A magnetic power connection, built-in wireless, SuperDrive and ports for your everyday tasks.

 

Built-in iSight Camera

Use the camera and iChat software to stay connected with friends and family.

13.3-inch glossy widescreen.

The moment you open your new MacBook, its glossy LED-backlit display greets you with glorious, full-screen brightness and brings your photos, movies and presentations alive with luminous colour. The widescreen resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels gives you plenty of room to multitask, yet it’s compact enough to take anywhere. And the display is greener than ever: power efficient, free of harmful toxins such as mercury and made of arsenic-free glass.


New, Faster Graphics

MacBook features the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor. With a performance boost of up to 80 percent over the previous generation,2 it provides outstanding speed and power for things like browsing photos and watching movies. Its advanced architecture delivers smooth, responsive action for games like Spore, Call of Duty and Sims 3. So you can immerse yourself in digital worlds that come to life with rich colour, fine detail and fluid gameplay. And when you’re not busy beating your high scores, the new NVIDIA graphics processor makes all the other things you do on a MacBook — like writing email and surfing the web — fast and energy efficient.


Up to 1.8x faster than previous-generation MacBook


 

With a fast 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, MacBook breezes through everyday tasks such as emailing, web browsing and working with documents, spreadsheets and presentations in iWork or Microsoft Office for Mac (sold separately). It also provides plenty of horsepower for more processor-intensive activities such as retouching a photo in iPhoto, editing an iMovie project and composing a new song using GarageBand, so you can make the most of the included iLife suite of applications. It even runs Microsoft Windows at native speeds. Better still, MacBook comes standard with 2GB of memory (with support for up to 4GB), so you can run multiple applications smoothly and efficiently.

Music, photos and movies — not to mention your documents and other files — start adding up. That’s why MacBook offers plenty of storage space. It includes a large 250GB hard drive with options up to a voluminous 500GB, so you can take it all with you.3

Take MacBook with you everywhere without worrying about plugging in or even carrying your power adapter. Its built-in lithium-polymer battery now lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge,1 which makes it perfect for long flights, all-day workshops and marathon study sessions. The new energy-efficient NVIDIA integrated graphics processor improves battery life by using less power for everyday tasks like writing email and surfing the web. And thanks to advanced battery chemistry and adaptive charging technology, the MacBook battery can be recharged up to 1000 times — good for about five years of typical use — and lasts nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries.4 That makes for less waste. And that, in turn, makes for one environmentally friendly battery.

7 Hours per charge. 1,000 Charges.

The entire trackpad is the button, so you have lots of space to click.

Perform right-click functions by clicking a corner of your trackpad or by pressing two fingers anywhere.

Use two fingers to scroll up and down with inertia — perfect for long documents and web pages.

Pinch to zoom in and out of photos, increase font sizes in web pages and more.

Swipe with three fingers to move forward and back in your web browser or move through your photos.

Rotate

Rotate with two fingers to quickly reorient a photo or PDF.


MagSafe

The MagSafe Power Adapter has a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So if someone happens to trip over the power cord while you’re working, it won’t send your new MacBook flying off a table or desk. Instead, the cord breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system. As a bonus, you can tell if your MacBook is fully charged when the LED on the connector changes from amber to green.

Connect to the Internet at fast speeds anywhere thanks to built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi. Like everything else about a Mac, joining Wi-Fi networks couldn’t be simpler. If you’ve previously connected to a network, your Mac automatically logs you in so you can immediately email, surf the web or video chat. Have a phone, headset, keyboard or mouse with Bluetooth wireless technology? They can all connect to your MacBook courtesy of built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology — and it remembers all your devices, too.

  • SuperDrive
  • MagSafe power
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • Mini DisplayPort
  • USB 2.0
  • Audio in/out
  • Kensington lock slot

MacBook comes standard with a built-in SuperDrive. What makes it super? You can enjoy your favourite DVD movies and music CDs. You can burn your own CDs or DVDs to back up data or create your own music mixes. Or you can use the included iDVD software to burn blockbuster-style iMovie creations, then watch them on a DVD player.

Ports with possibilities.

With MacBook, you get easy plug-and-play support for your digital devices, including your digital camera, printer, external hard drive, mouse and keyboard — not to mention your iPhone, iPad and iPod. Just connect them to one of the handy ports. Want to expand your workspace? The Mini DisplayPort connects directly to an Apple LED Cinema Display and supports VGA and DVI for connecting to a projector, as well as DisplayPort and HDMI for connecting to a flat-panel TV.7 MacBook also includes a Gigabit Ethernet port, a headphone jack that doubles as an audio-in port and a convenient lock slot so you can keep your MacBook secure.
