Apple introduces new MacBooks

Oct 29, 2008 by FN's Shar Bareng

mac1.jpgJust when we thought MacBooks couldn't get any better, Apple introduces two new members of the MacBook family: the all-new MacBook and MacBook Pro.



The new 13-inch MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro, both made from solid aluminum, are thinner and even "greener," as Apple has replaced their fluorescent lighting with LED backlight, creating the same amount of brightness with less space. Unlike fluorescent lamps, LEDs also reaches maximum brightness at a shorter time.

Another upgrade from the old MacBook is the button being removed from the trackpad, since the trackpad already doubles as a button with its new Multi-Touch technology. You can use two fingers to scroll up and down a page, pinch to zoom in and wipe out, or swipe with three fingers to flip through photos, like how you navigate through iTouch.

For a laptop this small, new MacBooks are also powerful as they come with a 320GB hard drive, a Core 2 Duo processor, and 1066MHz DDR3 memory.

Take a peek at the new MacBooks in the gallery below.
