Apple has released it’s new MacBook notebook line of computers decked out with new Intel 2 Core Duo processing chips. The new processing chips means that this new line is up to 25% more faster than the older line.

The MacBooks are also just an inch thick and feature a 13-inch widescreen display which can display videos or photos using Apple’s Front Row media experience. They also offer Bluetooth, Ethernet and USB connectivity.
