The MacBook: Sleek and simple with Intel inside

Apple has just released the Intel Core Duo Powered MacBook running up to 2Ghz and priced competitive to many PC based notebook laptops.

More than any of the big PC makers, Apple knows how to design and market their product, and with an attractive price point the MacBook is destined to succeed.
