Definition: MacBook
Apple's laptop computer family, introduced in 2006. The MacBook Pro was the first MacBook and first Mac portable to use Intel CPUs. The Pro line consists of laptops with 13", 15" and 17" screens.
In 2007, a non-Pro "just plain MacBook" was introduced with a 13" screen. With less aggressive graphics and a polycarbonate case rather than aluminum, the MacBook was the most affordable Mac laptop until it was dropped in 2011.
MacBook Air
Apple introduced its thinnest MacBook in early 2008. With a full-size keyboard and 13" screen, the Air weighs three pounds. The Air's touchpad incorporates the multi-touch capability introduced on the iPhone, which enables scrolling, zooming and rotating to be activated with multiple finger gestures. See Macintosh models, PowerBook, iBook and Macintosh.
