Mac Laptop Line Gets an Upgrade

Remember the idea of widening the performance gap between the MacBook Pro and the MacBook laptops to distinguish them from one another? Well, that idea just got thrown out the window. Barely a week after the Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo announcement, Apple is releasing the Core 2 Duo updates to the Macbook 13-inch. The good news for Apple is that it still made it in time for the holidays, and now that the entire laptop line is updated, Apple is poised to have a great fourth quarter. Many of us, including myself, anticipated a new revision in 2007, but Jobs and Co. managed to beat that forecast.


As with the previous models, the MacBook 13-inch White will have two processor flavors: The 1.83GHz T5600 and the 2GHz T5600 Core 2 Duos. The high-end black edition will get the Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 as well. The memory configuration remains roughly the same as before, and standard hard drive configurations will start at 120GB for the black MacBook 13-inch. Hard drive options go up to 200GB for those who need even more storage. Apple's Superdrive in the MacBook gets dual-layer support just like in the MacBook Pro. The rest of the features remain intact.


The MackBook 13-inch White 1.83GHz T5600 and 2GHz T5600 CPU configurations will start at $1,099 and $1,299, respectively. The MacBook 13-inch Black will start at $1,499.--abc.com
