Apple Introduces All-New MacBook

(RTTNews) - Computing and electronics giant Apple Inc. (AAPL) on Monday unveiled the all-new MacBook that weighs just two pounds and is 13.1 mm thin.

The new MacBook features a stunning 12-inch Retina display, an Apple-designed full-size keyboard, the all-new Force Touch trackpad, an incredibly compact USB-C port for data transfer, video out and charging in a single connector, and a new battery design that maximizes every millimeter of space to deliver all-day battery life.

And, for the first time, MacBook is available in three gorgeous aluminum finishes—gold, silver and space gray.

The new MacBook features a breakthrough terraced battery design that is layered in individual sheets that are precisely contoured to fit the MacBook's sleek, curved enclosure. As a result, the new MacBook has 35 percent more battery capacity than would be possible with traditional battery cells and delivers all-day battery life with up to 9 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 10 hours of iTunes® movie playback.

Every new Mac comes with OS X Yosemite, a powerful new version of OS X. iMovie, GarageBand®, iPhoto®, and Pages®, Numbers® and Keynote® come free with every new Mac.

The all-new MacBook will start shipping Friday, April 10.

MacBook comes with a 1.1 GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.4 GHz, 8GB of memory, 256GB of flash storage and Intel HD Graphics 5300 starting at $1,299; and with a 1.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.6GHz, 8GB of memory, 512GB of flash storage and Intel HD Graphics 5300 starting at $1,599.
