APPLE KNOWS DESIGN.




This week Apple finally released the long-awaited (by us at least, every one in 707 uses a Mac) Intel-based version of the iBook. Of course for design-junkies like us the big news isn't that the new Macbook can now run Windows, or that it now has a built-in iSight video camera, or that it has a new 13 inch widescreen... The big news is that...

... it's now available in Black.

A quick warning, the black version costs 150 bucks more than a similar spec white one and if you're looking to play games you're miles better off with the Macbook Pro's graphic card, the Macbook's is pretty weak.

We'll finish this post with a couple of shots of the stunning new 24-hour Apple store in NYC. From street level it just looks like an empty glass cube...

not officially open until Friday... but here's a cameraphone pic of the interior
