Apple Refreshes White MacBook with New Core 2 Duo, GeForce 9400M

 

Apple has updated the White MacBook laptop with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor and NVIDIA’s new integrated graphics chip.

The 13.3-inch notebook, with the old white chassis made of polycarbonate, now features a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a 1066MHz frontside bus and the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M IGP. The laptop had previously featured a Core 2 Duo at 2.1GHz, 800MHz FSB, and Intel’s GMA X3100 integrated GPU, but now has the same platform as the newly designed Macbook with aluminum unibody case.

Starting at $999, the refreshed White Macbook also includes up to 320GB of hard drive space, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a DVD burner, and a built-in iSight camera.

Other features include 802.11n WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, two USB ports, a Mini-DVI output, and a Firewire 400 port.

The 5-pound notebook provides up to 4.5 hours of wireless productivity on a single battery charge, according to the computer maker.

The White MacBook can be purchased through Apple’s online store.
