Apple introduced the 13-inch MacBook in 2006 and released an updated version later that year. These polycarbonate models were available in white or black and feature a 13.3-inch glossy display with a 1280-by-800 native resolution. The original version used a 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo processor, while the Late 2006 version used a 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Original SATA hard-drive capacities ranged from 60GB to 120GB, with larger build-to-order drives available. Confirm the version, processor, storage, and condition before contacting Gizmogo for pricing.

About This Mac
