Durable unibody enclosure.

A mere 2.74 cm thin and even lighter at 2.13 kg, the sleek new MacBook cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or briefcase). It features a new seamless, more durable unibody enclosure with rounded contours that make it easy to pick up and slide into and out of your bag. And it’s made of rugged polycarbonate that withstands the rough and tumble of everyday life — at school, at work, or while traveling. Even the bottom of the new MacBook feels different. Covering its entire surface is a nonslip material that keeps your MacBook right where you put it, whether on a desk, table, or airplane tray.

Quality screen time.

MacBook now features an LED-backlit 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display for an even more spectacular viewing experience. Documents, videos, photos, and games look incredibly sharp and detailed. The LED backlighting delivers stunning colors and instant full-screen brightness the moment you open the lid. And its 1280-by-800 pixel resolution offers an outstanding balance of luminous color and easy readability in a perfectly portable size.

Spacious glass Multi-Touch trackpad.

The new MacBook Multi-Touch trackpad has no button because it is the button. That means there’s plenty of room to move your fingers around, and you can click anywhere — left, right, center, and everywhere in between. The trackpad features a silky smooth glass surface that feels great to the fingertips. Use it to perform familiar functions such as right-click or two-finger scroll as well as Multi-Touch gestures: pinch to increase font size in a document, rotate your fingers to reorient photos, swipe to navigate through web pages, and more.

A comfortable keyboard your fingers will love.

MacBook portability doesn’t happen at the expense of key features. The keyboard is full size, with keys that are curved to contain your fingers and highly responsive to your touch. Its low-profile design integrates perfectly into the unibody enclosure, so you’ll get a comfortable experience whether you’re typing a quick email or writing a lengthy research report. The keyboard also gives you one-touch access to music and video controls and Mac OS X features such as Dashboard and Exposé.

Easy access to connections and ports.

The connections and ports on MacBook — MagSafe power, Gigabit Ethernet, Mini DisplayPort, USB, and audio in/out — are all smartly integrated on the same side of the notebook. So your cables stay neatly organized, and connecting and disconnecting your devices is easy and convenient.

Clean, simple interior design.

MacBook is as well designed on the inside as on the outside. Turn it over and you’ll notice a seamless, sturdy, single-piece bottom case with no battery compartment. That’s because the lithium-polymer battery in the new MacBook is strategically built right into the enclosure. In addition to providing extra overall durability, this integrated design eliminates the space-consuming parts required by a removable battery. This allows more room for a larger-capacity battery that can run up to 7 hours on a single charge — all in an enclosure that is just as thin and even lighter. When you remove the bottom case, you’ll discover a clean, simple interior layout that makes it easy to add more memory or a larger hard drive.

Friendly to the environment.

MacBook is designed to have less impact on the environment than most other computers. It’s energy efficient, free of many toxic materials, and made of recyclable materials.

An LED-backlit display of brilliance

A 13.3-inch glossy widescreen.

The moment you open your new MacBook, its glossy LED-backlit display greets you with glorious, full-screen brightness and brings your photos, movies, and presentations alive with luminous color. The widescreen resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels gives you plenty of room to multitask, yet it’s compact enough to take anywhere. And the display is greener than ever: power efficient, free of harmful toxins such as mercury, and made of arsenic-free glass.

The longest-lasting MacBook battery ever.

Up to 7 hours per charge, up to 1000 recharges.

Now take MacBook with you everywhere without worrying about plugging in or even carrying your power adapter. Its built-in lithium-polymer battery lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge, which makes it perfect for long flights, all-day workshops, and marathon study sessions. Thanks to its advanced battery chemistry and charging technology, the MacBook battery can be recharged up to 1000 times — good for about five years of typical usage — and lasts nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries. That makes for less waste. And that, in turn, makes for one environmentally friendly battery.

More room to navigate, more ways to interact.

The first thing you might notice — or not notice — about the new MacBook Multi-Touch trackpad is the button. The entire trackpad is the button, so you can click anywhere on the touch-friendly glass surface. Not having a separate button also makes for a larger trackpad surface, giving your fingers more room to move, click, and gesture. And because the trackpad supports Multi-Touch gestures, you can use one or more fingers to interact with your documents, images, and applications with gestures such as two-finger scroll, pinch, swipe, and rotate. If you come from a right-click world, you can configure a right-click area on the trackpad or simply press with two fingers.

One-finger click.

The entire trackpad is the button, so you have lots of space to click.

Right-click.

Perform right-click functions by clicking a corner of your trackpad or by pressing two fingers anywhere.

Scroll.

Use two fingers to scroll up and down or across a page — perfect for long documents and large images.

Pinch.

Pinch to zoom in and out of photos, increase font sizes in web pages, and more.

Swipe.

Swipe with three fingers to move forward and back in your web browser or move through your photos.

Rotate.

Rotate with two fingers to quickly reorient a photo or PDF.

Action hero.

With MacBook, you get an amazing consumer-level graphics experience that’s great for popular 3D games like Spore, Call of Duty, and Sims 3. The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor provides an outstanding everyday graphics experience with up to a 5x performance boost. Based on an advanced architecture, NVIDIA graphics deliver smooth, responsive gameplay, so you can immerse yourself in game worlds that come to life with rich color, fine detail, and fluid motion — all without sacrificing battery life.

Productivity expert.

With a fast 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, MacBook breezes through everyday tasks such as emailing, web browsing, and working with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in iWork or Microsoft Office for Mac (sold separately). It also provides plenty of horsepower for more processor-intensive activities such as retouching a photo in iPhoto, editing an iMovie project, and composing a new song using GarageBand, so you can make the most of the included iLife suite of applications. It even runs Microsoft Windows at native speeds. Better still, MacBook comes standard with 2GB of memory (with support for up to 4GB), so you can run multiple applications smoothly and efficiently.

Personal librarian.

Music, photos, and movies — not to mention your documents and other files — start adding up. That’s why MacBook offers plenty of storage space. It includes a large 250GB hard drive with options up to a voluminous 500GB, so you can take it all with you.

Even the power cord is an innovation.

The MagSafe Power Adapter has a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So if someone happens to trip over the power cord while you’re working, they won’t send your new MacBook flying off a table or desk. Instead, the cord breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system. As a bonus, you can tell if your MacBook is fully charged when the LED on the connector changes from amber to green.

Wireless that works.

Connect to the Internet at fast speeds anywhere thanks to the built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi. Like everything else about a Mac, joining Wi-Fi networks couldn’t be simpler. If you’ve previously connected to a network, your Mac automatically logs you in so you can immediately email, surf the web, or video chat. Have a Bluetooth-enabled phone, headset, keyboard, or mouse? They can all connect to your MacBook courtesy of built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR — and it remembers all your devices, too.

Burn CDs and DVDs.

MacBook comes standard with a built-in SuperDrive. What makes it super? You can enjoy your favorite DVD movies and music CDs. You can burn your own CDs or DVDs to back up data or create your own music mixes. Or you can use the included iDVD software to burn Hollywood-style iMovie creations then watch them on a DVD player.

Ports with possibilities.

With MacBook, you get easy plug-and-play support for your digital devices including your digital camera, printer, external hard drive, mouse, and keyboard — not to mention your iPhone and iPod. Just connect them to one of the handy ports. Want to expand your workspace? Use the new Mini DisplayPort to connect an Apple LED Cinema Display to extend your MacBook desktop. Or connect a projector to show your work on the big screen. MacBook also includes a Gigabit Ethernet port, a headphone jack that doubles as an audio-in port, and a convenient lock slot so you can keep your MacBook secure.

Built-in iSight camera.

Cleverly integrated — almost hidden — at the top of the MacBook display is an iSight camera that takes photos and shoots video. Use it with the built-in microphone and the included iChat software, so you can be anywhere without actually being there. Video chat with up to three of your friends, share a video with your mom, or give a presentation to a client.5 Use your iSight with Photo Booth to take quick pictures and add fun photo effects. Or use it with QuickTime X to record a video and share it to iTunes, MobileMe, or YouTube with just a click. Best of all, there’s no need to waste valuable primping time installing software or configuring the camera. Like everything Mac, iSight just works, right out of the box.

Perfect for everyday everything.

A Mac comes with everything you need for email, calendar, contacts, browsing the Internet, and more. It’s all part of the Mac operating system: Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Hardware and software designed to work together.

The first time you use a Mac, you’ll quickly discover the benefits of a single company making the hardware, software, and operating system. Take the Multi-Touch trackpad built into every MacBook. Mac OS X Snow Leopard enables Multi-Touch gestures, so you can right-click to access contextual menus, scroll up and down with two fingers, swipe to move through web pages, and more.

Works with Windows.

The Mac also opens and works with Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and it even runs Windows — so it’s compatible with the PC world. That includes sharing documents with people on PCs, printing to the office or school printer, and working over Windows networks.

Wi-Fi ready.

A Mac also has Wi-Fi technology built in and can join wireless networks (even Windows networks) in a few simple clicks. There’s no configuration process or complicated setup. Like so many things, the Mac does it all for you.

Photos on a Mac.

iPhoto features face recognition that lets you organize your entire photo library by the people in the pictures. So when you need to find a particular photo of a friend, the hard work is already done for you.

Movies on a Mac.

With iMovie, you can put together a great-looking movie in minutes, then give it some professional polish. Add Hollywood-quality animated titles or stabilize your shaky video in just a few clicks.

Making music on a Mac.

A Mac can teach you how to play guitar or piano. Open GarageBand and you’ve got video music instruction right on your Mac. You can even download Artist Lessons, and learn to play hit songs from the musicians who made them famous.

Don’t worry about viruses.

Designed with security in mind, Mac OS X Snow Leopard isn’t plagued by constant attacks from PC viruses and malware. Every Mac is highly secure right out of the box, so you can safely go about your work — or play — without interruption.

On guard.

Innocent-looking files downloaded over the Internet may contain dangerous malware in disguise. That’s why files you download using Safari, Mail, and iChat are screened to determine if they contain applications. If they do, Mac OS X Snow Leopard alerts you, then warns you the first time you open one.

Always up to date.

When a potential security threat arises, Apple responds quickly by providing software updates and security enhancements that can be downloaded automatically and installed with a click.

The latest technology.

Intel dual-core processors are standard on every Mac notebook, so applications fly. Powerful graphics bring the latest 3D games to life. And an iSight camera, Bluetooth, and many other features are all built in.

Features you won’t find on a PC.

On a MacBook, innovation extends to features you might not expect. Like a power adapter with a magnetic connection (instead of a physical one) that breaks off cleanly if someone trips over the power cord while you’re working. Or a built-in battery that powers your MacBook for up to 7 hours on a single charge and recharges up to 1000 times.

The world’s most advanced operating system.

Every Mac comes with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, an operating system custom-designed for the advanced technology inside. Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation and made to be simple and intuitive, it’s what makes the Mac innovative, highly secure, compatible, and easy to use.

Energy efficiency.

Because Apple designs both hardware and software, we can reduce our environmental footprint in ways others can’t. For starters, a highly efficient power supply reduces the amount of power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall to your Mac. Unlike a lot of PCs, a Mac uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power — even between keystrokes.

Fewer toxic substances.

A Mac doesn’t contain a lot of toxic materials. All Mac displays are mercury and arsenic free, and the internal components are free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs).

Recyclability.

When a Mac reaches the end of its long life, the materials it’s made from make it highly desirable to recyclers. And you can recycle your old computer free when you buy a new Mac.
