This Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 1.83 13-Inch model is powered by a 1.83 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (T5600), featuring two independent processor "cores" on one silicon chip. It includes a 2 MB shared level 2 cache "on chip", a 667 MHz frontside bus, and 512 MB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) configured in pairs (two 256 MB modules). For storage, it has a 60.0 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive equipped with "Sudden Motion Sensor" technology, and an 8X slot-loading DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive. Graphics are handled by an integrated Intel GMA 950 processor, which utilizes 64 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared from the main memory, all displayed on a 13.3" widescreen TFT active-matrix "glossy" screen (1280x800 native resolution).
The MacBook "Late 2006 Core 2 Duo" family maintains the user-friendly, upgradable case design of the original MacBook models. Connectivity is comprehensive, offering AirPort Extreme (with 802.11n support, in addition to 802.11g, available via a firmware update), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a FireWire "400" port, dual USB 2.0 ports, optical digital audio in/out, and mini-DVI for external display support.
Shared features between the MacBook "Late 2006 Core 2 Duo" and the original "Core Duo" models include the "scrolling TrackPad", a built-in iSight video camera, an Apple Remote for Apple Front Row software, the "MagSafe" power connector, a "flush against the bed" keyboard design that avoids contact with the screen, and a "no moving parts" magnetic latch that secures without a physical catch.
