MacBook and MacBook Pro gallery
Apple's new line of MacBooks and MacBook Pros are already arriving at retail stores across the world. Featuring an aluminum unibody enclosure, glossy LED backlight display and glass trackpad, users will find plenty new to love and hate. Both systems are now shipping in much smaller boxes, which is a part of Apple's move to create a much smaller environmental footprint. Upon opening the box users will notice very little excess around a notebook's enclosure, along with a small tab for helping to lift the computer out. Within the box, users will also find a MagSafe power adapter, AC wall plug, power cord, install/restore DVDs as well as printed and electronic documentation.

The MacBook Pro is slightly wider and longer than the MacBook, and uses the extra space to incorporate the same stereo speakers that have become common to the Pro line. Along the left side of both models users will find an array of ports, including MagSafe power, Ethernet, two USB ports, mini DisplayPort, audio line-in and line-out, plus a Kensington lock slot. Additionally, MacBook Pro owners will find a FireWire 800 port and ExpressCard/34 slot.

When flipping the MacBook or MacBook Pro over, owners will notice a small tab that can be flipped, which removes a piece of the case and reveals the hard drive and battery. The battery and hard drive have been made easy to access and remove for the possibility of future upgrades. Reaching the RAM slots requires a little more work, including the removal of eight screws.
