"MacBook has helped drive Apple's notebook market share to over 10 percent in US retail, and the new MacBooks will be among this holiday season's most exciting new products," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "With Intel Core 2 Duo processors across the entire line, these new MacBooks are up to 25 percent faster than their predecessors." The MacBook includes Apple's MagSafe Power Adapter that magnetically connects the power cord to the MacBook and disconnects under strain, preventing the notebook from falling off its work surface. It also features MagSafe Airline Adapter that makes using a MacBook on an airplane convenient by connecting to in-seat power ports for use through out the flight. The MacBook includes Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor, designed to protect the hard drive in case of a fall, and Scrolling TrackPad for scrolling through long web pages or panning across large photographs. The lightweight MacBook design includes built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), making it easy to take anywhere. Each MacBook includes built-in 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 400 port, combination analog and optical digital audio input and output ports and a mini-DVI video output to connect up to a 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. The MacBook comes with iLife '06, the next generation of Apple's suite of digital lifestyle applications featuring iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb, the latest iLife application that allows users to create websites with photos, blogs and podcasts and publish them on .Mac for viewing by anyone on the Internet. The MacBook also comes with the latest release of Mac OS X version 10.4.8 Tiger, including Safari, Mail, iCal, iChat AV, Front Row and Photo Booth, running natively on the Intel-based notebook. The new MacBook is available immediately through the Apple Store , Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
