After years of glorious activity, the Apple MacBook White is retiring. Introduced for the first time in 2006, when Apple was making the transition from PowerPC processors to Intel, he remained in service for 6 years and in the hearts of all fans of Apple products bitten, who recall with pleasure the time of portable whites or blacks, before the advent of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with its aluminum body.

Moreover, already in 2010, the white MacBook, which was left as an entry level device, the true point of economic access to Apple's notebook, he had suffered internal competition of the most attractive MacBook Air 11.6-inch, gradually removing the visibility of the old MacBook, which had the same price but offered less. Since then Apple has now officially announced that this model is no longer available on the market and has reached his retirement, so it will no longer be produced.

The notebook still sold in the educational field, will now be replaced by an ad hoc version of the MacBook Air 13-inch, but the version will be equipped as proposed by 11 inches and more than 999 dollars, as the previous white MacBook. Within this version of the MacBook Air for schools then we will find a dual core Intel Core i5 with a frequency of 1.6 GHz, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM and an SSD of 64 GB. With regard to the price Apple propose more specifically this solution at a cost of $ 4995 for five units, or at a cost of $ 11,399 for 10 units with laptop carts (supports mobile support) or $ 21,599 for 20 units equipped with a wireless base AirPort Extreme.

All this, moreover, is part of a broader movement to reorganize notebook, as anticipated a few days ago. During this 2012 because the current MacBook Pro could receive a substantial refresh that would see them become thin as the MacBook Air.
