Apple unveils aluminium laptops
15/10/2008 12:22 - (SA)

San Francisco - Apple unveiled a new line of Macbook laptop computers on Tuesday, bringing prices down at the same time as improving function and design.

The two most prominent new features of the new line-up are powerful new graphics capabilities provided by Nvidia chips that replace integrated Intel graphics chips that were used previously. Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the new chips improved graphics performance by a factor of five.

Jobs also touted a new manufacturing process that allows the laptop cases to be made from a single block of aluminium.

"Apple has invented a whole new way of building notebooks from a single block of aluminium. And, just as important, they are the industry's greenest notebooks," said Jobs.

'Incredible features'

"The new MacBooks offer incredible features our users will love - like their stunning all-metal design, great 3D graphics and LED backlit displays - at prices up to $700 less than before."

Apple said that in addition to providing MacBooks with a sleeker design, the new manufacturing process has made the computers, thinner, stronger and better able to withstand impacts. The MacBook Pro also comes with a newly designed trackpad.

The multitouch glass trackpad has a 39% larger tracking area than before, according to Jobs, and the entire trackpad will act as button.

The new MacBooks also feature an LED-backlit display that uses 30% less energy than its predecessor and eliminates the mercury found in fluorescent tube backlights.

The new MacBook line starts as $1 299 in the US with prices rising to $2 499 for the top of the line MacBook Pro.

You can check the specs here for comparison:
Original
Late 2006
Mid 2007
Late 2007
Early 2008

Best is to phone Apple support and give them the S/N - they'll tell you straight away if it's legit.

No. The white MacBook is kept available at a slightly reduced price. The new version is more expensive.
