Review: White MacBook 2GHz with Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics The changes to new white 2GHz MacBook are subtle but welcomed. The new faster graphics will make casual gamers happy, and who doesn’t like additional RAM? Macworld Lab director James Galbraith found that even with a processor that's slightly slower than its predecessor, the new white 2GHz MacBook is a solid entry-level laptop. -
13-inch MacBook/2.0GHz (white) In January 2009, Apple updated its entry-level MacBook to improve the graphics while maintain the same sub-$1,000 price tag. While the Nvidia GeForce 9400M still shares its memory with the system RAM, there's a lot more memory to share (256MB instead of the 144MB the old integrated Intel graphics had at its disposal). The machine also ships with 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB. The processor has been bumped down to 2GHz from 2.1GHz, but the system bus is faster.

13-inch MacBook/2GHz (November 2007)
There's not much to distinguish this low-end MacBook from the 2GHz model released in May 2007. However, a new chipset architecture increases the amount of RAM capacity to 4GB and boosts the frontside bus speed to 800MHz. More significantly, the integrated graphics system has been upgraded to an Intel GMA X3100 with 144MB of shared memory; that translates to improved performance in graphics-dependent applications over the earlier MacBooks. 1 users want this Read more » |
