As expected, Apple has just released the new MacBooks to replace the aged iBook offerings. The new MacBook features the Intel Core Duo processor and a gorgeous new 13-inch glossy widescreen display, replacing both the iBook and the 12-inch PowerBook.
"Apple began the transition to Intel Core Duo-based notebooks in February with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and now just 90 days later we have completed the transition with the release of the all new MacBook," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, in the press release. "The complete MacBook lineup leads the industry with Apple's trademark innovative design and advanced mobile features -- from top to bottom it is the best notebook line that we have ever offered."
