Apple MacBook "Core Duo" 2.0 13" (Black)
Introduction-
The Apple MacBook "Core Duo" 2.0 13-Inch (Black) features a 2.0 GHz Intel "Core Duo" processor (T2500), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 2 MB shared "on chip" level 2 cache, a 667 MHz frontside bus, 512 MB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) installed in pairs (two 256 MB modules), an 80.0 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive with "Sudden Motion Sensor" technology, a 4X slot-loading double layer read (single layer write) DVD/CD-RW "SuperDrive", an Intel GMA 950 integrated "graphics processor with 64 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory", and a 13.3" widescreen TFT active-matrix "glossy" display (1280x800 native resolution).
Like the MacBook Pro "Core Duo" 15-Inch models, the MacBooks have AirPort Extreme (802.11g), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a FireWire "400" port, two USB 2.0 ports, and optical digital audio in/out, along with video out capabilities (mini-DVI) that for the first time on a "consumer" Apple notebook officially support a non-mirrored external display. They also have the same "scrolling TrackPad", a built-in iSight video camera, an Apple Remote for use with Apple Front Row software, and the clever "MagSafe" power connector. Unique to the MacBook include a redesigned "flush against the bed" keyboard that does not touch the screen, a "no moving parts" magnetic latch that "catches without a catch", and a case design that makes upgrading the RAM and hard drive easy.
