In an attempt to attract holiday shoppers, Apple updated its MacBook notebooks with faster versions of Intel Corp. computer chips.

The MacBook, based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, is available in three configurations- 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz with a white polycarbonate enclosure, and a 2.0 GHz model in a matte black case. Every model has a built-in iSight webcam, and a magnetic latch mechanism.
