White MacBook Specifications & Review
Apple replaced the older white polycarbonate MacBook with a unibody polycarbonate model in 2010. The new MacBook features a 13" LED display, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics, a glass trackpad, and toes the line at $999. For the majority of the computing population, the MacBook probably fits the bill. Web surfing, email, Office apps, digital photos, and basic video editing - the White MacBook handles these routines without breaking a sweat. However, it's not quite as snappy as the MacBook Pro, and don't expect video-intensive apps like Second Life to break any records.
This model includes a built-in battery that isn't user accessible, and Apple also chose to eliminate FireWire. They've also included Apple's DisplayPort, so if you have an older display, you'll need an adapter - one that Apple is only too happy to sell you.
However, it still represents the best value in Apple's lineup.
