MacBook received fresh "stuffing"


It turns out that recently, Apple quietly updated the MacBook, and, as it turned out, these notebooks also switched to a set of logic GeForce 9400M, writes RegHardware. This is about the MacBook with a hull made of conventional plastics, and we ask not to be confused with the MacBook Unibody, as the latter are made in the shell, cut out of solid aluminum bars.

As a result of modernization, they were weaker processor, but another, more powerful graphics subsystem. If the previous version was built on a mobile processor Core 2 Duo 2,1 Hz, the updated version has the same processor, but with a clock speed of 2 GHz. On the other hand, a difference of 100 MHz may be more than offset by a more powerful graphics subsystem based on the core GeForce 9400M from NVIDIA. Moreover, even in the basic configuration of the updated MacBook has 2 GB of RAM, so it is likely to be more powerful than its predecessor. In this connection, it is worth recalling that the previous model had only a GMA X3100 integrated graphics from Intel and only 1 GB of RAM.

Now the most interesting: the cost of the updated MacBook remain at the same level - 702 pounds (770 euros).
