The most advanced and affordable Mac notebook ever gives you a blazingly fast mobile architecture in a beautiful design that costs less than slower, clunkier models. It's like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Talk about performance, MacBook's powered with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with speeds revving up to 2.0 GHz.
In bright white or sleek black, MacBook supports up to 2 GB of memory and plenty of storage. Standard models offer up to 120 GB of hard drive space, but if you haul a lot of data around, you can order your MacBook with up to 200 GB of storage. That's not all. MacBook keeps you untethered courtesy of built-in Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme (802.11g). A 6x double-layer-burning SuperDrive -- standard equipment on the 2.0 GHz models -- not only lets you burn DVDs faster but lets you burn capacious double-layer media. And those 2.0 GHz models pack 4 MB of shared L2 cache, which helps deliver a 6x leap in performance over the iBook or PowerBook before them.

Acer TravelMate TM24802779

icely affordable as well as lightweight, the Acer TravelMate TM2480-2779 (model LX.TH30Y.024) is a great choice for budget-minded business travelers. It features a wide-aspect 14.1-inch WXGA LCD screen that's great for multitasking between application windows--as well as watching DVD movies when you've got a moment of downtime. In addition to an integrated 54g wireless LAN, this notebook also includes Acer's SignalUp technology--a super-efficient antenna is built into the case, creating an omni-directional sphere that extends signal range and quality. Other hardware features include a 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron M processor, 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), and combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.

This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, which delivers a safer, more reliable, and more productive computing environment. It integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
* Processor: The Intel Celeron M Processor 420 is designed specifically for mobile computing, offering a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology, good mobile performance, and exceptional value. The 1.6 GHz speed is complemented by a speedy 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

* Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) is average in size for notebook PCs, and it's roomy enough to store business productivity applications, all your important documents and presentations, and a good-sized digital audio and video library.

* Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (1 x 512 MB, 533 MHz) is a decent start for power users. But you'll want to take advantage of the 2 GB capacity for working with today's demanding business productivity applications.

* DVD/CD Drive: This notebook offers a combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive that enables you to quickly burn your favorite music mixes to CD (with its 24x write and 24x rewrite speeds) and comfortably watch DVD movies (with its 8x DVD-ROM read speed).

* Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook features an 88-key keyboard with inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, international language support, and 2.5mm minimum key travel. The touchpad has a four-way scroll button, and it includes a font-access wireless network on/off button.

Screen, Video & Audio
The 14.1-inch WXGA LCD has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching movies in their intended 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 128 MB of shared video memory. It also has an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectX 9.0 support. Encouraging multitasking on your widescreen LCD, the Acer GridVista feature allows you to view up to eight windows simultaneously on dual displays, while supporting "drag and drop" and "snap-to-grid" capability. This notebook provides both VGA and S-Video outputs.

Throw in a backlit keyboard with an ambient light sensor and digital sound for music and movies, and you've got a portable workstation/entertainment machine that belongs on business trips and vacations.
The MacBook Pro sports a killer, high-resolution widescreen display up to 17 inches big, and it's ready for more than Web surfing and word processing. Why? Well, check out the not-so-subtle ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with up to 256MB of dedicated graphics memory. Designed for high-performance portables, this graphics powerhouse packs more punch into a much smaller space. The X1600 can push data through 12 pixel shader pipelines and five vertex processors on the 16-lane PCI Express bus interface. Enjoy sharp videos and photos, smooth video playback, astonishing effects, and vibrant colors — as well as texture-rich 3D performance in next-generation games.

The Intel Core Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the next version of Microsoft Windows, code-named Vista. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. It's more efficient, thanks to Intel's Power Coordination and Deeper Sleep, which help to transfer power only to those areas of the processor that need it. It also features Intel's Digital Media Boost, which delivers enhanced performance on floating point-intensive applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming.
