What a quantum leap looks like.
With a first-of-its-kind integrated graphics processor that delivers up to five times the performance in half the size, the new MacBook changes the game — and just about everything else you do on a notebook.
More performance. Less space.
Most notebooks sacrifice graphics performance for smaller chipsets. But the new MacBook uses an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor that’s integrated with the fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor in a whole new way. A traditional computer logic board contains multiple components. The logic board in the new MacBook contains only two: a CPU and a graphics processor that provides discrete-level graphics performance — without sacrificing battery life.
Play faster.
Games take full advantage of the 5x performance boost in the new MacBook. Power your way through the 3D environments of Quake, Call of Duty, and Spore. Enjoy faster, smoother, more responsive gameplay. And marvel at how great those game graphics look: They’re crisper, they’re more finely detailed, and they make the most of the brilliant LED-backlit display.
Create faster.
The new MacBook offers performance boosts for iLife applications, too. Whether you’re flipping through vacation photos in iPhoto, editing a family flick in iMovie, or building your own blog in iWeb, the new MacBook helps you create and enjoy photos, movies, and websites faster than ever.
Work faster.
The new MacBook makes quick work of iWork applications. Big Keynote presentation? Great graphics performance means that every transition (even that really snazzy one) plays seamlessly, slides build without delays, and finely detailed graphics render perfectly.
Do everything else faster.
At the heart of every MacBook is Mac OS X Leopard. At the heart of Leopard is Core Animation: the technology that powers visually stunning user interfaces and application animations. It’s what makes iChat effects, Cover Flow, Time Machine, the Dock, and hundreds of other graphical elements in Mac OS X possible. The improved graphics performance of the new MacBook makes everything you do in Mac OS X smooth and speedy, from browsing the web in Safari to video chatting with iChat.
Mini DisplayPort.
The new MacBook has a small port that makes a big difference. The Mini DisplayPort is a brand-new, industry-standard port. It delivers a pure digital connection to external displays — even large 30-inch displays — quickly and without a glitch. No more multiple-pin connectors with unwieldy screws; the ultracompact Mini DisplayPort gives you plug-and-play performance with the new Apple LED Cinema Display. And it supports VGA and DVI connections, too.
Get the (really) big picture.
With a MacBook, you can work or play anywhere. But there are times when great graphics performance positively begs for more pixels. Introducing the Apple LED Cinema Display: the first display designed specifically for the new MacBook.
The new 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display transforms your MacBook into a desktop computer in seconds. Plug in three simple connectors — Mini DisplayPort, USB, and MagSafe — and suddenly you have more room to work and play, plenty of space for peripherals, and an automatic charge for your MacBook. You don’t even need to take your power adapter out of your bag. And instantly, everything you see is bigger, brighter, and even more brilliant. Learn more
