New Apple products

Apple unveiled its new MacBook notebooks, most notable for their lowered price, high-performance graphics cards and, in some models, all-metal chassis: The new MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro are made from a single block of aluminum. Apple, which has been promising greener, more environmentally friendly electronics announced that the new MacBook family also meets Engergy Star 4.0 requirements. They use PVC-free internal cables and components, as well as displays that are free of mercury and arsenic. The LED backlit display uses up to 30 percent less energy than previous MacBooks displays.

The glass Multi-Touch trackpad on the MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro is designed to give users almost 40 percent more tracking area than before, making it even easier to use Multi-Touch gestures like pinch, rotate and swipe. The entire trackpad surface is also a button, allowing users to both track and click virtually anywhere on the trackpad and delivering right-click functions missing in previous MacBooks (the button below the trackpad in earlier Macbooks is gone).
