The 13" MacBook Notebook Computer from Apple gives you all the power of a Macintosh computer in an easily portable and attractive form. The laptop is housed in a black polycarbonate shell that brings the signature Apple design aesthetic to the notebook. It is designed to meet the needs of video editors, graphics designers, educators, and businesspeople who demand a compact and light portable computer.

The MacBook is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. The Core 2 Duo is actually two processors built into a single chip, which translates into much better performance than a single processor chip. The computer is loaded with a 160GB 5400rpm SATA hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Airport Extreme wireless networking, integrated Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, built-in speakers and Apple's SuperDrive, an 8x speed DVD burner with support for dual-layer discs. The computer features a beautiful glossy 13" widescreen display that delivers a bright and clear image.

All this hardware runs on Apple's OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system with Rosetta technology. This allows you to seamlessly run legacy applications as well as Universal Binaries that have been designed to run on both PowerPC and Intel chips, making the MacBook a great choice for your home, office, or college dorm.

• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor

The system is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz GHz processor powered by a 800MHz front side bus. The Core 2 Duo features two processors on a single chip, which increases system efficiency and reduces power consumption compared to two-chip dual processor systems.

• 13" Glossy LCD Display

The 13.3" Glossy LCD display delivers crisp, clear graphics. It is large enough to allow you to work efficiently while still keeping the laptop small enough to be easily portable. The display features a glossy finish, which delivers deeper color saturation and brighter images compared to comparable displays. The widescreen format gives you more viewing area than a standard aspect ratio display.

• Front Row

Apple's Front Row software turns your MacBook Pro into a sleekly designed media player. Working in conjunction with an Apple remote control, you can easily watch DVD movies and music videos, browse your iPhoto library and play music through iTunes. Integrating your entertainment center and computer is ideal for users with limited space such as a dorm room or apartment, or for those who simply want to get more out of their computer than word processing and web browsing.

• iSight Camera

The built-in iSight camera allows you to participate in video conferencing using the included iChat AV software or easily setup a web cam. The camera is integrated in the computer's design, taking the ugly "bubble camera" style that is often associated with web cams out of the picture.

• MagSafe Power Connector

The MacBook features the innovative MagSafe Power Connector. The adapter secures to the computer via a magnetic connection. If you trip over your power cord, you no longer have to worry about dragging your laptop off a desk or table - the cord will simply disconnect and no damage will be done.

• Mac OS X Leopard

The computer is pre-loaded with Mac OS 10.5. Mac OS X Leopard v10.5 gives you everything you need to live in the digital age. The entire system and its applications are designed to work well with each other and suit your individual computing style.

• Intel GMA X3100 Graphics

The MacBook features integrated Intel GMA X3100 graphics, which can utilize up to 144MB MB of the computer's main memory. This allows you to effectively and crisply work with dual displays when you're using your notebook at home or work, which increases productivity in many applications.

• 8x SuperDrive DVD Burner

The slot-loading SuperDrive allows you to burn DVD and CD discs at lightning fast speeds, making it easy to transport and archive data from your computer. The drive also has support for 8.5 GB dual layer DVD media, allowing you to write a large amount of data to a single disc.

• FireWire and USB 2.0 Interfaces

The laptop delivers FireWire-400 and USB 2.0 connections, allowing you to connect a multitude of devices to your computer.

• Lightweight

The 13" MacBook weighs only 5 pounds, making it easy to take it with you wherever you go.

• Magnetic Latch Mechanism

The MacBook features a unique magnetic latch mechanism that keeps your laptop closed without the need for a physical latch. This eliminates any chance of the latch jamming, breaking or snagging when opening and closing your MacBook.

• Rosetta Technology

The changeover to Intel-powered Macintosh computers is made seamless with OS X Leopard's built-in Rosetta technology. You can open applications written for older PowerPC Macintosh computers without any special steps -- just click and run.

• Optional Protection

Apple provides 90 days of free phone support and a one-year limited warranty. You may choose to add an AppleCare Protection Plan to this package, which will extend coverage of the computer for 3-years from the original date of purchase, giving you peace of mind and ensuring that your system will run optimally for its effective life cycle. AppleCare can be purchased at any time within the first year of ownership of the computer.
