features such ergonomic enhancements as contoured corners and a non-slip bottom surface.

The system's 13.3" LED backlit LCD display produces crisp and brilliant images. It features a glossy finish for enhanced color saturation, and a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels -- giving you plenty of screen real estate for multitasking. The computer's built-in iSight webcam rests snugly above the display, allowing you to participate in web chats without the need of a clunky external webcam.

An advanced integrated battery allows you to use the computer for up to 10 hours between charges. When the computer is plugged into the wall, it's via a power adapter with a MagSafe connector. MagSafe technology connects the power adapter to the computer via a magnetic bond. The MagSafe connector will harmlessly separate from the computer if you trip over the cord, helping to prevent damage.

The system features a comfortable chiclet-style keyboard, which will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used a MacBook before. The MacBook boasts a glass Multi-Touch trackpad, the same type found on the MacBook Pro. The trackpad does not have a separate mouse button, as its entire surface acts as a button. This increases the active surface area, and allows you to quickly click, even if your finger is near the top of the trackpad.

What's more, the smooth surface fully supports Multi-Touch gestures -- you can tap the trackpad with one finger to click, with two fingers to right click, scroll through documents using two fingers, pinch to zoom, navigate through Safari or iPhoto with three-finger left and right swipes, or use two fingers to rotate a photo or PDF.

iLife '11, a complete suite of digital creativity applications, is installed on the system. Easy enough for anyone to use, iLife will help you edit your home movies, organize digital photos, and compose original music.

The system is powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and boasts 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, Apple's SuperDrive DVD burner, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an iSight webcam. The glossy 13.3" widescreen display is powered by nVIDIA GeForce 320M integrated graphics

LED Backlit Display of Brilliance

13.3" 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 x 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

High Performance Comes Standard

Action Hero
The MacBook features the nVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor. With a performance boost of up to 80 percent over the previous generation, it provides outstanding speed and power for things like browsing photos and watching movies. Its advanced architecture delivers smooth, responsive action for games like Spore, Call of Duty, and Sims 3. So you can immerse yourself in digital worlds that come to life with rich color, fine detail, and fluid gameplay. And when you're not busy beating your high scores, the new nVIDIA graphics processor makes all the other things you do on a MacBook -- like writing e-mail and browsing the web -- fast and energy efficient

Productivity Expert
With a fast 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the MacBook breezes through everyday tasks such as e-mailing, 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, the MacBook comes standard with 2GB of memory, 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 the MacBook offers plenty of storage space. It includes a large 250GB hard drive for data storage. The computer features a user-accessible hard drive, allowing you to upgrade it in the future if your storage needs increase

Advanced Integrated Battery

10 Hour Runtime
Take the MacBook with you everywhere without worrying about plugging in or even carrying your power adapter. Its built-in lithium-polymer battery now 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 e-mail and browsing the web. And thanks to advanced battery chemistry and adaptive charging technology, the MacBook battery can be recharged up to 1000 times -- good for about five years of typical use -- 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

Glass Multi-Touch Trackpad

More Room to Navigate, More Ways to Interact
The first thing you might notice -- or not notice -- about the 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 pinch, swipe, and rotate. Move up and down a document or web page smoothly with new built-in support for inertial scrolling. And if you come from a right-click world, you can configure a right-click area on the trackpad or simply press with two fingers

MagSafe and More

MagSafe Power Connection
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, it 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

AirPort Extreme & Bluetooth
Connect to the Internet at fast speeds anywhere thanks to 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 e-mail, browse the web, or video chat. Have a phone, headset, keyboard, or mouse with Bluetooth wireless technology? They can all connect to your MacBook courtesy of built-in Bluetooth 2.1+EDR technology -- and it remembers all your devices, too

SuperDrive
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 Aplenty
With the 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, iPad, and iPod. Just connect them to one of the handy ports. Want to expand your workspace? The Mini DisplayPort connects directly to an Apple LED Cinema Display, and supports VGA and DVI for connecting to a projector, as well as DisplayPort and HDMI for connecting to a flat-panel TV. The 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 it secure

iSight Camera

Webcam & Microphone
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, and 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. 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 on 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

Design

Durable Unibody Enclosure
A mere 1.08" thin and only 4.7 pounds, the sleek MacBook cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or briefcase). It features a seamless, durable unibody enclosure with rounded contours that make it easy to pick up and slide into and out of your bag. It's made of rugged polycarbonate that withstands the rough and tumble of everyday life at school, at work, or while traveling. And since the bottom of the MacBook is covered in a nonslip material, it always stays right where you put it -- whether it's on a desk, table, or airplane tray

Quality Screen Time
The MacBook features a LED backlit 13.3" glossy widescreen display for a 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 x 800 pixel resolution offers an outstanding balance of luminous color and easy readability in a perfectly portable size

Spacious Glass Multi-Touch Trackpad
The 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-clicking, 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. And now with inertial scrolling, moving up and down documents and web pages feels completely smooth

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 e-mail 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 Design
The 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 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 and provides an even longer battery life of up to 10 hours on a single charge -- all in an enclosure that is thin and light. 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
The MacBook is designed to have less impact on the environment than most other computers. It's more energy efficient, free of many toxic materials, and made of recyclable materials

Magnetic Latch
The magnetic latch mechanism allows you to open and close your computer with ease. There are no moving parts to snag, jam, or break

The Mac Experience

Every Day Use
Every Mac is designed to make your life easier, not more difficult. The system ships with Mac OS X "Snow Leopard," which gives you all the tools you need for e-mail, personal organization, Internet browsing, watching movies, and more. Its software and hardware are designed work to together seamlessly, eliminating the compatibility nightmares that often plague PC users. What's more, the MacBook can run Windows via Boot Camp, perfect for users who have a Windows-only application that they absolutely need to use

iLife '11
The included iLife '11 suite is a suite of applications that help you organize your digital life. It includes iPhoto for photo management and editing, iMovie for HD video editing, iDVD to burn your movies to disc, GarageBand for music production, and iWeb for web publishing

Secure and Reliable
Worried about viruses and malware? Don't be. The MacBook isn't plagued by constant attacks from the outside world. It is designed to be secure out of the box, eliminating the need for additional software to protect your system from danger. OS X will warn you if a downloaded file is potentially dangerous, ensuring that you don't accidentally open a malicious application. Apple responds quickly to any security threats, prompting you to download updates that keep your Mac up to date and safe

Advanced Technology, Standard
Powered by an Intel dual-core CPU, the MacBook is fully loaded with 3D graphics, an iSight camera, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. You'll find features on this system that are foreign to the PC world, including the MagSafe power adapter design. A powerful 64-bit operating system built on a UNIX foundation, Snow Leopard, is pre-installed on the system

Environmentally Friendly Design
Apple understands that the Earth is our most precious resource. They've worked to create a computer that is energy efficient, free of many toxins, and highly recyclable. Because Apple designs both hardware and software, the MacBook is able to use a highly efficient power supply that reduces wasted power. The computer is free of mercury and arsenic, and its internal components are free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs). When the computer reaches the end of its long life, you can rest assured that it can be recycled. It is constructed from materials that are highly desirable to recyclers. The MacBook has been awarded EPEAT Gold status for responsible manufacture, energy efficiency, and recyclability
