Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera with lens

Taking another (very serious) look at the Apple MacBook laptop computer, as an in the field storage and editing device for digital photography.

MacBook - Core 2 Duo - BlackFirst off I have to admit that I have never really liked the, shiny refrigerator white, iBook laptop computers. I have used them a number of times and even taken other people to Apple Stores to buy them, but just like those gum drop colored and flower power iMacs (which I had no problem installing in my client's offices), I never envisioned buying one for myself.

But the times do change and I need a portable storage and editing device for my digital photography projects. Dragging a 17-inch PowerBook around with me everywhere is getting a little old (or maybe it is me who is getting too old). The 17-inch PowerBook (MacBook Pro now) is actually a great transportable computer but not so portable, unless you like having a continual sore shoulder and back.

The one thing that does make the low end Apple laptop more attractive for me now is the new black version, unfortunately black is only available for the highest end MacBook, which is almost (but not quite) as expensive as the lowest end MacBook Pro. The current model MacBook comes only in a 13-inch configuration. The aluminum enclosed MacBook Pro is
(at this time) available only in a 15-inch and 17-inch model.

13-inch MacBook - 5.2 pounds - W 12.78 inch - D 8.92 inch - H1.08 inch - US$ 1,099 to 1,499
15-inch MacBook Pro - 5.6 pounds - W 14.1 inch - D 9.6 inch - H 1.0 inch - US$ 1,999 to 2,499

The big question now is, whether or not Apple will announce a 13-inch MacBook Pro at the San Francisco MacWorld, how soon will it be available, and how much will it cost?

Apple Unveils New MacBook With Intel Core 2 Duo Processors

CUPERTINO, California—November 8, 2006—Apple® today unveiled its new line of MacBook™ consumer notebooks that now include Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Just one-inch thin, the new MacBooks are up to 25 percent faster than the previous generation and feature a built-in iSight® video camera for on-the-go video conferencing, Apple’s MagSafe™ Power Adapter that safely disconnects when under strain, and iLife® ‘06, Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications.

“MacBook has helped drive Apple’s notebook market share to over 10 percent in US retail, and the new MacBooks will be among this holiday season’s most exciting new products,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With Intel Core 2 Duo processors across the entire line, these new MacBooks are up to 25 percent faster than their predecessors.”

With prices starting at just $1,099, the new MacBook lineup includes three models: sleek white 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz MacBook models, and a stunning black 2.0 GHz MacBook model. With Intel’s latest Core 2 Duo processors, the new MacBook is up to 25 percent faster than the previous MacBook and up to six times faster than the iBook®, making it even easier for consumers to manage and enjoy their digital content with iLife ‘06.* Consumers will also benefit from the added power in the new 2.0 GHz models, including double the memory and greater storage capacity than the previous generation, as well as a double-layer SuperDrive™ for burning professional-quality DVDs.

The new MacBook features a gorgeous 13-inch glossy widescreen display, ideal for enjoying videos, DVDs and photos with Apple’s breakthrough Front Row media experience. The MacBook is just one-inch thin and includes a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing on-the-go with friends or family using iChat AV, recording a video podcast or iMovie® using iLife ‘06, or taking fun snapshots with Photo Booth.

Designed for the mobile lifestyle, the MacBook includes Apple’s MagSafe Power Adapter that magnetically connects the power cord to the MacBook and safely disconnects under strain, preventing the notebook from falling off its work surface. Apple now also offers a new MagSafe Airline Adapter that makes using a MacBook on an airplane even more convenient by connecting to in-seat power ports for continued productivity throughout the duration of a flight. The MacBook also includes Apple’s Sudden Motion Sensor, designed to protect the hard drive in case of a fall, and a simple and intuitive Scrolling TrackPad for scrolling through long web pages or panning across large photographs.

The lightweight MacBook design includes built-in AirPort Extreme® and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), making it ideal to take anywhere consumers work and play—from the office, to the classroom and the local WiFi hot spot. With the latest high-performance connectivity options, each MacBook includes built-in 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire® 400 port, combination analog and optical digital audio input and output ports and a mini-DVI video output to connect up to a 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display.

The MacBook comes with iLife ‘06, the next generation of Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications featuring iPhoto®, iMovie HD, iDVD®, GarageBand™ and iWeb™, the latest iLife application that makes it super-easy to create amazing websites with photos, blogs and podcasts and publish them on .Mac for viewing by anyone on the Internet with just a single click.** The MacBook also comes with the latest release of the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS® X version 10.4.8 Tiger, including Safari™, Mail, iCal®, iChat AV, Front Row and Photo Booth, running natively on the Intel-based notebook.
