14 DAY TRIAL // India is now on the list of countries to see the new line of MacBooks from Apple, Tech Gadget reports. The new notebooks have had a great start in the States, so we expect to hear nothing but the best of Apple's “unibody” laptops in this territory as well.
The new MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro both have a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, resulting in thinner, more durable and astonishing designs. The new MacBook line, as most Apple fans should know, features the 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 of previous MacBook and MacBook Air designs. Apple and NVIDIA have worked hard on this groundbreaking processor to make it the first to bring in the new MacBook family.
Under-the-hood changes also include LEDs to light up the new MacBooks' displays instantly, as well as a backlight for the keyboard, in Apple's new consumer MacBook. Both the new MacBook and MacBook Pro feature a new smooth glass Multi-Touch trackpad, which gives users almost 40 percent more tracking area than before, making it even easier to use Multi-Touch gestures like pinch, rotate and swipe. New gestures allow users to activate Exposé or to switch between applications at the touch of a fingertip, while the entire trackpad surface is now the button. Users can easily enable multiple virtual buttons (such as right-clicking) in software.
The new MacBook family uses up less power, thanks to the LED-backlit display. This new addition also helps MacBook stay green, as it eliminates the mercury found in industry standard fluorescent tube backlights. Needless to say, the image rendered is also crisper than ever. The glass covering the display is also free of any Arsenic.
In conclusion, the new MacBook delivers the top three features that MacBook customers requested from a new MacBook – an all-metal enclosure, high performance 3D graphics and LED-backlit displays. Adding this to the low entry price of just $1,299, MacBook is sure to be a winner in India. The MacBook Pro, boasting more enhancements, starts at $1,999.
The thinnest of the MacBook family, the MacBook Air, has also been refreshed, adding NVIDIA's GeForce 9400M integrated graphics, but keeping the entry price of $1,799 (HDD version).
