Macs have become the OS of the rich who would like to flaunt about with their diverse desktops. Macbook is a notebook computer developed by Apple Computers and officially released in May 2006. Apple had then come to a partnership with Intel and the MacBook was released as a product of that agreement.

Although apple products have known to be expensive, the MacBook was mainly geared to cater to the needs of normal consumers and students. Poly carbonate casing and aluminum casing were used in the construction of the MacBooks. The initial MacBook released had an Intel Core Duo Processor coupled with a 945GM chipset. The graphical capabilities were fructified by the GMA 950 chipset from Intel. The product featured a 667MHz FSB (Front Side Bus). Recently this configuration was discarded for the Core 2 Duo Processor with GM965 chipset. The Graphical Processing Unit was replaced by Intel's X3100 and it ran on an 800MHz FSB.

The display unit being used on the product was widescreen 12". One of the notable improvements was the addition of the Magsafe power connector. Mini-DVI port was also a feasible addition. The design was largely copied from one of Apple's previous products known as the G4 Powerbook. The display had a unique glossiness in tandem with a keyboard with was sunk into the product together with a magnetic mechanism to keep the unit closed and protected.

The above mentioned design was refurbished in 2007 with the addition of a couple of hotkeys. The colors available for the product were limited to black and white. With the addition of poly carbonate construction, users were able to disassemble the product easily. Even manuals were provided by the parent company on how to replace the hard disk drives and various other integrated peripherals.

The users who had opted for the white colored product were dismayed to find that the hand rest part of the notebook began to fade within a couple of months' usage. Apple acted promptly then and made sure that the part was replaced free of cost and plastics which were resistant to smudge were integrated into the product. Cracks also developed beneath the product due to over tightening of the assemble screws. According to the situation in hand Apple had replaced the parts free of cost or charged a meager amount for the servicing.

The Aluminum notebook was a recent addition to the MacBook stable. It featured an Nvidia Chipset rather than the traditional Intel Chipset. Besides that the FSB was increased to 1066 MHz, DDR3 flash based memory were introduced and Nvidia's GeForce 9400M Graphical Processing Unit was also integrated into the unit. This was a huge upgrade considering the slow GPU initially being used on the older models. The display was also improved and a LED based system was also introduced in the line. The mini-display port was also an addition which replaced the mini-dvi port. Firewire was removed from this product. Apple remote was also provided upon request and at an extra premium price.
