First look: Apple’s new MacBooks!!

The cat is finally out of bag. In a hotly-awaited announcement, Apple refreshed its popular MacBook line-up. After its dream launches this year, which includes iPhone and new range of iPods, Apple is out with new MacBook and MacBook Pro model. Its thinnest and lightest laptop, Air, too has undergone a slight revamp. 

The new models come with a host of new changes in the features and design. However, unlike the iPhone and iPod, Apple notebooks failed to delight fans on the pricing front. The much-talked about sub-$1000 notebook remained as a rumour only. 

However, Apple attracted eyeballs with its manufacturing process that will help it machine out laptops from a single block of aluminium. 
Taking a cue from its popular laptop MacBook Air, Apple’s new line-up boasts of a sleeker and slimmer look, thanks to the new manufacturing process. 

Measuring 12.78 by 8.94 by 0.95 inches, the new MacBook weighs 4.5 pounds (2.04 kg), half a pound lighter than previous version. It has a thickness of 0.95 inches, similar to the MacBook Pro. The new MacBook boasts of a 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy display screen (diagonal) with support for millions of colours. The revamped MacBook has a corner-to-corner glass LED screen. 

The MacBook Pro has also gone thinner. Measuring 14.35 by 9.82 by 0.95 inches, the new model weighs 5.5 pounds (2.49 kg). Pro will come with 15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy display with support for millions of colours.
