Apple released the new, updated MacBook portables this week, with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, and the Nvidia new GeForce 320M graphics card.

Battery life is now listed at 10 hours, a radical improvement from the 7 hours the previous model boasted.

The MacBook ships with 2 GB RAM (expandable to 4GB), a 250GB internal drive (up to 500 GB available with custom configuration) and a double-layer SuperDrive (CD and DVD burner)

The previous generation of MacBook had a 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU combined with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics card.

The MacBook looks the same as the previous model, with a white polycarbonate unibody and 13.3 inch display, and costs the same, $999. For external monitor or projector connection use the same Mini DisplayPort adapters.

This is a great choice for students, of course. It’s also an excellent choice for anyone who needs a laptop and won’t be pushing the limits with music production, high-end image manipulation or video production. I use an older MacBook as a diagnostic and repair tool, in place of the MacBook Pro I bought for the purpose. It has all the power and capacity I need, and the size and price are great.
