*drools over the MacBookPro* - which I wouldn't mind having with these specifications: 15-inch widescreen, 2.8GHz Intel Core Duo 2, 320GB Serial ATA @ 7200 Hard Drive, 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB. Even having a MacBook would be just as good. I could then sit anywhere and use the computer. Time to buy some lotto tickets ay
MacBook family that redefines notebook design, and at the same time lowers the entry price for advanced notebook features including all-metal enclosures and pro-performance notebook graphics by $NZ800. The new MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro both have a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminium, resulting in thinner, more durable designs. In addition, every member of the new MacBook family includes NVIDIA graphics, instant-on LED-backlit displays and new large glass Multi- Touch trackpads that offer almost 40% more tracking area and support more Multi-Touch gestures.
The entire new MacBook family meets stringent Energy Star 4.0, EPEAT Gold and RoHS environmental standards, and contains no brominated flame retardants, using only PVC- free internal cables and components, and uses energy efficient LED- backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass.
The new MacBook line features the powerful new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, a revolutionary new 3D integrated graphics processor that features 16 parallel processing cores and delivers up to five times the 3D graphics performance as previous MacBook and MacBook Air designs.
The new smooth glass Multi-Touch trackpad on the MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro makes it even easier to use Multi-Touch gestures like pinch, rotate and swipe. New gestures allow users to activate Exposé or switch between applications at the touch of a fingertip. The entire trackpad surface is also a button, allowing users to both track and click virtually anywhere on the trackpad. Users can easily enable multiple virtual buttons in software, such as right-clicking.
The new MacBook has an entry price (RRP) $NZ2399 inc. GST.
