Description
With a black and silver design reminiscent of the Aluminum iMac models, the “Unibody” MacBook “Core 2 Duo” (Late 2008/Aluminum) models introduced an all new case design milled from a single block of aluminum providing greater strength, reduced weight, and a superior finish than previous systems.
The Apple MacBook “Core 2 Duo” 2.0 13-Inch (Unibody – Late 2008/Aluminum) features a 45 nm “Penryn” 2.0 GHz Intel “Core 2 Duo” processor (P7350), with two independent processor “cores” on a single silicon chip, a 3 MB shared “on chip” level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz frontside bus, 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) installed in pairs (two 1 GB modules), a 160 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive, an 8X DL “SuperDrive”, a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M “graphics processor with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory”, integrated iSight, and an LED-backlit 13.3″ widescreen TFT active-matrix “glossy” display (1280×800 native resolution).
Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, optical digital/analog audio in/out, and a new “Mini DisplayPort” that supports an external display at 2560×1600. It does not include a Firewire “400” port.
In addition to the new case design, compared to the “Early 2008/Penryn” models that these replaced, the “Unibody” line offers a new “no button” glass “multi-touch” trackpad with support for new “four finger” gestures and programmable “zones”, a faster architecture with a faster system bus, faster memory, and a faster graphics processor, as well as an LED-backlit display. The higher-end model — the MacBook “Core 2 Duo” 2.4 13″ (Unibody) — also has a backlit keyboard, but this model does not.
