Inheriting technology and design features from the MacBook Pro line, the Apple
MacBook (model MC516LL/A) retains its durable polycarbonate unibody design, with
a durable polycarbonate unibody design featuring a brilliant, glass Multi-Touch
trackpad while getting updated with a faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor, more powerful NVIDIA graphics, and longer battery life--up to 10 hours per charge.
The 13-inch MacBook with LED-backlit screen, durable
unibody enclosure, and built-in 10-hour battery.
Spacious glass multi-touch trackpad gives you plenty
of room to navigate and supports two-finger multi-touch gestures.
Measuring just 1.08 inches thin and weighing 4.7 pounds, the sleek new MacBook
cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or briefcase). And it comes
with everything you need for email, calendar, contacts, browsing the Internet,
and more--all a part of the pre-installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating
system.
The MacBook's seamless, durable unibody enclosure with rounded contours makes
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.
The LED-backlit 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display provides a spectacular
viewing experience, helping to make 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 x 800
pixel resolution offers an outstanding balance of luminous color and easy
readability in a perfectly portable size.
It comes pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating
system--an operating system custom-designed for the advanced technology
inside--and it also comes with the iLife '09 suite of applications, including
iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes.

Key Features
The Longest-Lasting Macbook Battery
Ever--Up to 10 Hours
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 10
hours on a single charge, which makes it perfect for long flights, all-day
workshops, and marathon study sessions. The new energy-efficient NVIDIA
integrated graphics processor improves battery life by using less power for
everyday tasks like writing email and surfing the web.
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.
High Performance Graphics
With the new fast and energy efficient NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor,
the MacBook gets a performance boost of up to 80 percent over the previous
generation MacBook. You'll get outstanding speed and power for things like
browsing photos and watching movies. And its advanced architecture delivers
smooth, responsive action for games like Spore, Call of Duty, and Sims 3.
A Comfortable Keyboard Your Fingers Will Love
The MacBook's 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.
Spacious Glass Multi-Touch Trackpad
The new MacBook Multi-Touch trackpad has no button because it is the button. 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.
Some of the multi-touch gestures you can perform with
the MacBook.
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
Innovative Power Cord
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.
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.
Pre-Loaded with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and iLife '09
Every Mac comes with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the world's most advanced operating
system, and iLife, Apple's innovative suite of applications for managing photos,
making movies and creating and learning to play music. Snow Leopard builds on a
decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core
technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. iLife features
iPhoto, to easily organize and manage photos; iMovie with powerful easy-to-use
new features such as Precision Editor, video stabilization and advanced drag and
drop; and GarageBand which introduces a whole new way to help you learn to play
piano and guitar. Installed software
- Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard (includes Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces,
Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal,
DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools)
- iLife '09 (includes iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, iDVD)
Environmentally Friendly Design
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. A A Mac also 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).
Advanced Power Management
Unlike a lot of Windows-based PC systems, MacBook uses energy-efficient hardware
components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power.
Mac OS X spins down hard drives and activates sleep mode on already
energy-efficient LED-backlit displays. And it balances tasks across both central
processors and graphics processors. Mac OS X never misses a power-saving
opportunity, no matter how small. It even regulates the processor between
keystrokes, reducing power between the letters you type. That's just one of many
ways Apple manages small amounts of power that add up to big savings.
Longer-lasting Battery--Lasts up to 5 Years
The removable batteries in most notebooks are designed to be replaced every year
or two, which means lots of batteries are used up and discarded. But the battery
in the new MacBook lasts up to five years--or 1000 recharges. So it uses just
one battery in the same time a typical notebook uses three, reducing waste and
environmental impact. And to help ensure that batteries are disposed of in an
environmentally responsible way, Apple offers a battery take-back program in 95
percent of the countries in which it does business.
ENERGY STAR Qualification
The MacBook meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, making it
ENERGY STAR qualified. ENERGY STAR 5.0 sets significantly higher efficiency
limits for power supplies and aggressive limits for the computer's typical
annual power consumption.
EPEAT Gold Rating
Through its innovative and environmentally friendly design, the MacBook has
earned the highest rating of EPEAT Gold. The Electronic Product Environmental
Assessment Tool, or EPEAT, evaluates the environmental impact of a product based
on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how it's designed and
manufactured.
