APPLE MACBOOK 2006 MODEL MAC OS X

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard compatibility.Requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 to 10.7 Lion, not compatible with 10.8 Mountain Lion.Our Leopard Group is for those using Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.Our Tiger Group is for those using Mac OS X 10.4.This will wake up your ‘Book and restore use of the built-in display. To resume use of the internal display, you need to disconnect the external display, put the computer to sleep, and then open the lid. The built-in display will remain off, and the external monitor will become your only display. Your ‘Book will go to sleep, but you can wake it by moving the mouse or using the keyboard. Power up your ‘Book until the desktop appears on the external display and then close the lid.

To used closed lid mode, your ‘Book must be plugged into the AC adapter and connected to an external display and a USB or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard (you might also want to consider external speakers). That should make a lot of Mac users happy, although it may be the beginning of the end for external drives with dual FireWire 400/USB 2.0 support.īattery life is comparable to the 15″ PowerBook G4.Ĭlosed Lid Mode: All Intel ‘Books support “lid closed” (or clamshell) mode, which leaves the built-in display off and dedicates all video RAM to an external display. On the plus side, Macintel models are the only Macs that can boot OS X from a USB hard drive. Further, Power PC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes. Macintel models can only boot from GPT hard drives APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives cannot be used to boot them. Intel-based Macs use a new partitioning scheme known as GPT.

Note that the built-in display is only capable of 18-bit color, not the full 24-bit color you might expect. One more change is moving from a 4x SuperDrive that couldn’t burn dual-layer DVDs to a 6x one with dual-layer support.

APPLE MACBOOK 2006 MODEL PRO

The Late 2006 MacBook Pro looks almost exactly like the earlier 15″ MacBook Pro, but the FireWire 800 port is the clue that you’re looking at the newer model. This model shipped with Mac OS X 10.4.8 Tiger and supports OS X 10.7 Lion, but not 10.8 Mountain Lion or later. Also, a 120 GB 5400 rpm hard drive is standard, with 160 GB and 200 GB options. Memory has been doubled to 1 GB standard on the 2.16 GHz model and 2 GB on the 2.33 GHz one, and the memory ceiling is now 3 GB, up from 2 GB in the earlier MacBook Pro. The 15″ MacBook Pro gains FireWire 800, an unfortunate ommission in the original 15″ MacBook Pro. Part of that comes from the more efficient CPU, and part from an 8% faster CPU. On 2006.10.24, Apple moved the MacBook Pro line to Intel’s newer Core 2 Duo CPU, claiming “up to 39% faster” performance than the model it replaced.
