If you own a Mac Book then you will already be aware of the how well these machines are engineered. However, Apple have done an incredible job in redesigning the range with even more seductive beauty for their relaunch models.

The new MacBook comes in a 15-inch or 17-inch precision aluminum body that is slim and ever-so streamlined. An d now with a battery life of up to 8 hours what more could you want from a laptop.

The high-performance NVIDIA graphics with GeForce 9600 GT delivers faster discrete graphic performance for high-end 3D games and pro applications. So if you are looking for a MAC that is man enough to edit videos as well as play games – here it is ! The high-resolution display offers an impressive 1440 x 900 pixel resolution supporting richer, more vibrant colors.

The entry level MacBook comes with 256MB of dedicated memory, so this baby will really fly, but for those that want ultimate performance then there is the 512MB version. The power plant behind the Apple MacBook Pro is an Intel 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor which is backed by 2GB of RAM and there is even a 250GB hard drive fitted.

A range of ports are lined along the left-hand side of the case and includes two USB ports and a Firewire 800 port. The Firewire port is especially useful, as it proves faster than current USB speeds when transferring files to and from external drives.

Swicth off the lights and you will notice that the keyboard is also fully backlit. It also automatically adjusts brightness as ambient light gets brighter or darker. Die-hard Apple users may miss the old keyboard seen on previous MacBook Pro’s, but this more than makes up for it. The touchpad also gets an overhaul and manages to hide the mouse button away as it’s incorporated into the same piece of aluminium.

Perhaps a Blu-Ray player would have been too much to ask but there is no denying that this is a great bit of kit to look at and use. At £1,369 for the 15 inch and £1,949 for the 17-inch these are now ordinary notebooks. What it does show is howere, is how capable Apple are in delivering a product that not only looks good but also out performs a lot of laptops on the market.
