Apple has revamped its Macbook range, adding faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 1GB of memory and larger hard drives to every model.

The MacBook comes in three models, a white 2GHz along with black and white 2.16 GHz models. Each include a built-in iSight video camera and 802.11n wireless networking. Featuring a 13-inch glossy widescreen display, the one-inch thin MacBook includes Apple’s MagSafe Power Adapter that connects the power cord to the MacBook and safely disconnects when under strain.

"The MacBook is a huge hit with customers, and is one of the reasons that Mac sales are growing three times faster than PC sales," said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "The new MacBook is faster, has even more memory and storage, and is an ideal notebook for customers’ growing library of digital music, photos and movies."

The MacBook comes with iLife ‘06, the next generation of Apple’s suite of digital lifestyle applications featuring iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb. The MacBook also comes with Mac OS X version 10.4.9 Tiger, including Safari, Mail, iCal, iChat AV, Front Row and Photo Booth.
