Video Review: Apple MacBook (CNET)

by

CNET has a video review of the new Apple MacBook – Apple’s Intel Core Duo-powered replacement for the 12- and 14-inch iBook, as well as the 12-inch PowerBook. As you know, it has a 13.3-inch widescreen display and starts at around $1099.

The CNET Editors have also published their take of the MacBook, saying that the value gap between Apple laptops and the PC competition has narrowed significantly (i.e. that Apple products are not nearly as expensive as they are sometimes portrayed).

Announced: Apple MacBook (13.3-inch)

Apple has finally announced their Intel-powered iBook replacement (iBook = low-end/consumer lineup if you will). It’s the 13.3-inch widescreen (glossy) MacBook. You can choose either a .183GHz Intel Core Duo T2400 CPU or a 2.0GHz T2500, and the price runs from $1099 through $1499 (or higher depending on options – those are base models).

17″ Apple MacBook Pro Released

by

Apple IntelLooks like Apple has released the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Looks like the rumor sites nailed this one, although some were off about another prediction. The reason why I mentioned the 17-inch MacBook Pro, is that many were expecting the oft-rumored 12-inch PowerBook/iBook replacement, supposedly a 13.3-inch widescreen “MacBook” to have already come out, and to have come out before the 17-inch MacBook Pro.

Some of the differences over the 15-inch – three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, and an 8x Dual-Layer SuperDrive. Otherwise the resolution, graphics, etc., are the same (and ThinkSecret pointed out the price is close or the same to the high-end 15-inch version).

As I mentioned, many predicted the 13.3-inch MacBook or whatever – very strange that it hasn’t popped up, because it’s basically replacing two popular ultraportable models, and more importantly (for Apple), now is the time to be releasing products geared towards the education market.
