Apple kicked off yesterday's event by announcing upgrades to its range of Mac laptops. Excluding the company's ultra-thin MacBook Air, all unibody notebooks now feature an improved, built-in battery, an LED-backlit display with greater color intensity, an illuminated keyboard (new to the 13-incher), an SD card or ExpressCard slot, as well as a FireWire 800 port for more affordable prices. With the 13-inch unibody MacBook also joining the Pro line of Apple laptops, all three devices can be upgraded with as much as 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid state drive (SSD). The MacBook Air has gotten a bump in clock speed, while becoming more affordable. Head over to the link below for the full scoop.
