The result is a lighter and thinner, yet stronger, chassis that feels more solid and substantial-a notable feat, as the previous MacBook models were already extremely sturdy.Īnother notable new feature is a radically redesigned touch pad.

The actual construction for both the new MacBook and MacBook Pro now follows the MacBook Air model, with a solid block of aluminum carved down, rather than a thin outer shell that has had support struts added to it. The familiar white-and-black bodies have been replaced with an aluminum chassis that looks nearly identical to the new MacBook Pro, only smaller. Both new MacBook models operate on a faster front-side bus, (from 800MHz to 1066MHz) and move from DDR2 memory to DDR3.
The higher-end model keeps the same 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, but also costs $100 more.
And the $1,299 model gets you a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, rather than the 2.4GHz CPU. While the base model keeps the same $1,299 price (our review unit was the upgraded $1,599 version with a faster processor, a bigger hard drive, and backlit keyboard), you lose the FireWire port in the transition. Internally, the big news is an Nvidia chipset with improved integrated graphics, while the "unibody" aluminum chassis, the buttonless (or more accurately, all-button) touch pad, and edge-to-edge glass on the LED-backlit display are the major physical changes on the outside. Some Internet commentators have even referred to the new models as the "MacBook Pro Mini." They can be seen as more advanced, and in some ways more expensive, versions of the classic 13-inch MacBook, but we prefer to think of them as slightly stripped down, and less expensive, versions of the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro line. There are two ways to look at Apple's newly reimagined MacBook laptops.
