MacBook Core 2 Duo rolls
November 8th 2006
Apple has announced the "new" MacBook with Core 2 Duo processors, which the company claims is up to 25 percent faster. This iteration also features a built-in iSight video camera for on-the-go video conferencing and an optional MagSafe adapter.
"MacBook has helped drive Apple's notebook market share to over 10 percent in US retail, and the new MacBooks will be among this holiday season's most exciting new products," said Philip Schiller, senior vice president, worldwide product marketing. "With Intel Core 2 Duo processors across the entire line, these new MacBooks are up to 25-percent faster than their predecessors."
With prices starting at just $1,099, the new MacBook lineup includes three models: sleek white 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz MacBook models. All three can now take twice the memory and offer greater storage capacity than the previous generation, as well as an optional double-layer SuperDrive.
IGM yesterday reported rumors of the impending release of Core 2 Duo MacBooks.
Editor's note: Perhaps the only thing missing from Apple's assault this holiday season is a promotion pushing the company's desktop line...
What's your take?
