Apple Introduces New MacBook and MacBook Pro Models

Multi-Touch Trackpad Comes to MacBook Pro

CUPERTINO, California--February 26, 2008--Apple today updated its popular
MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook lines with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo
processors, larger hard drives and 2GB of memory standard in most models.
In addition, MacBook Pro includes the latest NVIDIA graphics processors,
now with up to 512MB of video memory, and Apple's innovative Multi-Touch
trackpad, first introduced in MacBook Air. All Mac notebooks include a
built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing on-the-go*, Apple's
MagSafe Power Adapter that safely disconnects when under strain and
built-in 802.11n wireless networking for up to five times the performance
and twice the range of 802.11g.**

The new MacBook Pro features the latest Intel Core 2 Duo technology with up
to a 2.6 GHz processor with 6MB of shared L2 cache; up to 4GB of 667 MHz
DDR2 SDRAM memory and up to a 300GB hard drive, plus NVIDIA GeForce 8600M
GT graphics with up to 512MB of video memory. Every MacBook Pro now
includes a trackpad with Multi-Touch gesture support for pinch, rotate and
swipe, making it more intuitive than ever to zoom and rotate photos in
iPhoto or Aperture 2 or browse web pages in Safari; an illuminated keyboard
that makes it ideal for dimly lit environments such as airplanes, studios
or conference halls and a built-in ambient light sensor, which
automatically adjusts the brightness of the keys as well as the brightness
of the display for optimal visibility.

Featuring a gorgeous 13-inch glossy widescreen display, and with prices
still starting at just $1,099, the new MacBook lineup comes in three models
and includes faster processors and larger hard drives across the line;
sleek white 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz models with 120GB or 160GB 5400 rpm hard
drives and a stunning black 2.4 GHz model with a massive 250GB 5400 rpm
hard drive, previously only available as an option. The 2.4 GHz MacBook
models ship with 2GB of memory standard, expandable up to 4GB across the
line.

Every MacBook and MacBook Pro includes a built-in iSight video camera for
video conferencing on-the-go; Apple's MagSafe Power Adapter that
magnetically connects the power cord and safely disconnects when under
strain; the latest generation of 802.11n wireless networking for up to five
times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g; built-in 10/100/1000
BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed networking; Bluetooth; analog and
digital audio inputs and outputs; USB 2.0; FireWire and a built-in
SuperDrive.

Every Mac in the Apple lineup comes with iLife '08, the most significant
update ever to Apple's award-winning suite of digital lifestyle
applications, featuring a major new version of iPhoto and a completely
reinvented iMovie, both seamlessly integrated with the new .Mac Web Gallery
for online photo and video sharing***. Every Mac also includes Leopard, the
sixth major release of the world's most advanced operating system which
introduces Time Machine, an effortless way to automatically back up
everything on a Mac; a redesigned Finder that lets users quickly browse and
share files between multiple Macs; Quick Look, a new way to instantly see
files without opening an application; Spaces, an intuitive new feature used
to create groups of applications and instantly switch between them; a brand
new desktop with Stacks, a new way to easily access files from the Dock and
major enhancements to Mail and iChat. .Mac members can use the new Back to
My Mac feature to browse and access files on their home computer from a Mac
over the Internet while out on the road.
