In addition, the MacBook was one of the first (the first being the MacBook Pro) to adopt Apple's MagSafe power connector and it replaced the iBook's mini-VGA display port with a mini-DVI display port. While thinner than its predecessor – the iBook G4 – the MacBook is wider than the 12-inch model due to its widescreen display. Sales of the black polycarbonate MacBook ceased in October 2008, after the introduction of the aluminum MacBook. Later revisions of the MacBook moved to the Core 2 Duo processor and the GM965 chipset, with Intel's GMA X3100 integrated graphics on an 800 MHz system bus. The original MacBook, available in black or white colors, was released on May 16, 2006, and used the Intel Core Duo processor and 945GM chipset, with Intel's GMA 950 integrated graphics on a 667 MHz front side bus. įirst generation white polycarbonate MacBook, 2006 Apple continued to sell the MacBook to educational institutions until February 2012. On July 20, 2011, the MacBook was discontinued for consumer purchase as it had been effectively superseded by the MacBook Air which had a lower entry price. A third design, introduced in late 2009, had a polycarbonate unibody casing.

The second type was introduced in October 2008 alongside the 15-inch MacBook Pro the MacBook shared the more expensive laptop's unibody aluminium casing, but omitted FireWire. The original model used a combination of polycarbonate and fiberglass casing which was modeled after the iBook G4. There have been four separate designs of the MacBook. Collectively, the MacBook brand is the "world's top-selling line of premium laptops." For five months in 2008, it was the best-selling laptop of any brand in US retail stores. Positioned as the low end of the MacBook family, below the premium ultra-portable MacBook Air and the powerful MacBook Pro, the MacBook was aimed at the consumer and education markets.

It replaced the iBook series of notebooks as a part of Apple's transition from PowerPC to Intel processors. A new line of computers by the same name was released in 2015, serving the same purpose as an entry-level laptop.

Apple may update Pro's this year or next but they have not said when we might expect that so it's all conjecture.The MacBook is a line of Macintosh notebook computers designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Inc.

I replaced dual Xeon 2009-2010 mac pros with the i7's, overall the iMacs have been faster even against the dual xeon pros but they were the older pros. I don't have anyone doing any web dev on them other than some website production but the vast majority of it is print and touchup with high res. The systems are very responsive, I have AppleCare on all of them but only had to use it once for an Nvidia GPU issue that was covered otherwise it would have been an expensive fix.

We are running quad core i7's and 16GB RAM. On the Creative Cloud DTP the machines with the 2 and 4GB VRAM does not make much of a difference but it does for the heavier prodution system, it's a mix of Nvidia and ATI, you can't get a newer on with an Nvidia card now and while I prefer the Nvidia's the ATI's are very capable.

I have about 12 graphics techs on them, one of them is using it for video editing and 3D post work. Check the app to see what it supports.Ĭase in point Nvidia CUDA is popular for many CAD/CAM apps but it wont run on an AMD GPU and default to CPU which is absurdly slower in come cases. This is all dependent on what technology you plan to use. Keep in mind some of the GPU graphics technology for design will not combine VRAM on two cards so 2 cards with 6GB RAM might only give you a total of 6 GB RAM (not the 12 you actually have between the two card) but it might combine the processing power so dual cards. The 20" will come with an intergraded card or GPU, but the base model should be avoided, it's not a good production system, it's closer to an iMac for people who don't want an iPad. The 27" has an option for a 4GB GPU, the 20" does not. The 20" model also has a great display, can be upgraded to 16GB RAM but only at time of purchase, not later.Įither model can be configured with an SSD. The 27" model has a phenomenal display and can be upgraded to 32GB RAM later The iMac is what I've been deploying for high end production and I've deployed over a dozen of them so far. The Pro would not be the way to go right now, it's over three years old with no improvements at this time.
