Together with the 15-and 17-inch MacBook Pros, the new MacBook completes Apple's Intel-based portables lineup and replaces both the iBook and the 12-inch PowerBook, according to an official release.

Apple's entire portables lineup now offers Intel Core Duo processors; a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing on-the-go; breakthrough Front Row media experience with Apple Remote and several advanced features including DVI with dual display support, optical digital audio input and output, Gigabit Ethernet, Sudden Motion Sensor, Scrolling TrackPad and MagSafe Power Adapter, adds the release.

"Apple began the transition to Intel Core Duo-based notebooks in February with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and now just 90 days later, we have completed the transition with the release of the all new MacBook," says Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing Philip Schiller. "The complete MacBook lineup leads the industry with Apple's trademark innovative design and advanced mobile features-from top to bottom it is the best notebook line that we have ever offered."
