MacBook Design

Good design leaves nothing to chance. Great design anticipates it. No surprise, then, that MacBook features little touches — like a klutz-proof power adapter and a nifty magnetic latch — that make your computing experience as streamlined as MacBook itself.

Streamlined to go.

Perhaps the most profound design element of MacBook is what it lacks: bulk. A mere 1.08 inches thin and weighing in at only 5.0 pounds, MacBook cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or briefcase). And since MacBook is sure to become your constant companion, a durable polycarbonate shell keeps it ready for the rough and tumble of everyday life. Now that’s grace under pressure.

Looking good.

Whether you’re working on your next Keynote presentation or watching a movie before you catch a flight, every document, video, and photo on your MacBook will look sharp on the glossy 13.3-inch widescreen display. With pixel-perfect 1280-by-800 resolution, it’s great for viewing and working with media.

Key figure.

MacBook features a unique keyboard design that sits flush against the bed for a sleeker, lower profile. You’ll also find a firm touch when typing. That ought to make your fingers happy.

Magnetic attraction.

Opening and closing your MacBook is a snap, thanks to a magnetic latch that catches without a catch. That means no moving parts to snag, jam, or break.

Power play.

The MagSafe Power Adapter is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So tripping over a power cord won’t send your shiny new MacBook flying off a table or desk; the cord simply breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors.

Dual purpose.

And, talk about an attractive feature, by using a mini-DVI to DVI adapter (sold separately), you can connect your MacBook to either the 20-inch or 23-inch Apple Cinema Display for a truly big picture.

The magic scroll.

One finger or two? With two-finger scrolling, the trackpad becomes a fast track to wherever you want to go. And if you come from a “right-click world,” it’s easy to make the MacBook fit in your comfort zone. There are shortcuts for right-click functionality, forward delete, and more.

On the go.
