New Low Priced MacBook White from Apple Includes FireWire, Upgraded Hard Drive

Apple’s introduction of its new $999, lightweight MacBook – which includes IEEE 1394 – reflects its appreciation of the role of FireWire for millions of loyal Apple users worldwide.

The new MacBook White was introduced quietly early this year, but has already been well received in the user community. Built around the Intel 2 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, the newly introduced MacBook White comes standard with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 RAM – up from 1 GB on prior models – along with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card and a 120GB hard drive. It also incorporates all of the popular Mac OS X software.

“By including 1394 in its latest new MacBook, Apple has clearly responded to the comments from users around the world who believe FireWire is an essential component for their work,” said James Snider, executive director of the 1394 Trade Association. “We welcome their decision to include 1394 in this innovative new MacBook, which includes a long list of features and benefits for users everywhere.”
