New Production process
|
|
The main new feature of these new MacBook lineup is more an industrial thing rather than new specs. "The Brick" as we will call the new cases is actually dye cut in an aluminum block. This wil bring lighter and tougher cases for MacBooks but also a new freedom in creating new shapes as Apple will not have to invest in costy moulds every time they will want to redesign their computers.

Better graphic power on new MacBook lineup
|
|
The biggest criticism on MacBooks, so far, was mainly on the graphic power of their chipsets. Now, MacBook family seems to be willing to improve thanks to an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor. Enough power to run most of the demanding applications and games, but most of only. This new chipset allows the MacBook to reach 5hours of working time on a single charge.
