Apple MacBook Early 2009


When I looked at the Unibody MacBook a little while ago I liked almost everything about it. What I disliked most about the notebook was its sticker price. Apple decided to make the new MacBook more expensive than previous versions since its built like a MacBook Pro but lacks some of the high-end features.

What I was hoping for from a new MacBook was a device that would be competitive with the $500 Windows notebooks crowding the shelves of most computer retailers. I dont mean something priced that low, but rather something closer to the average persons notebook budget. Most folks can live with the decent construction techniques of the iBook/MacBook design. I thought that was the whole point of having the MacBook and MacBook Pro line-ups; different strokes for different folks.

Perhaps Apple realized that they were under represented in the value segment, so they released an updated white plastic MacBook based on the Nvidia 9400M IGP chipset. A few key benefits of the new aluminum model are stripped away to bring this model down to Apples traditional pricing for one of their starter notebooks $999.00.

Specifications:

Lets take a quick look at the specifications:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 2.0GHz CPU with 25 Watt TDP
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9400M IGP with shared memory
  • 13" WXGA High-Definition Display With 1280 x 800 Resolution
  • 120GB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
  • 2GB 667MHz DDR2 System Memory (dual channel mode)
  • Superdrive 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support
  • OS X 10.5
  • iWork 09 (pre-installed)
