The Macbook Aluminum is the redesign of the original Macbook by Apple. It was released during October of 2008. It is created by billeting a single piece of aluminum and creating what Apple calls the "unibody" which is a one piece aluminum enclosure. The Macbook Aluminum features a 13.3 inch LED backlit screen with a native resolution of 1280x800 and a glass enclosure with a black bevel. It features a Intel Core 2 Duo with either 2.0Ghz or 2.4Ghz depending on the model chosen. The 2.4Ghz model features a backlit keyboard and a larger hard drive. Other than that both models are the same. Each model carries the new nVidia GeForce 9400M which features 256mb of VRAM and offers a very fast and much improved 1066mHz frontside bus. The addition of this custom built card allows for larger files to be open and run at faster speeds. It also allows for Leopard to run faster and also opens up the ability for Macbooks to play demanding 3D games such as Call of Duty 4 at a very decent clip, something that was only previously possible on the Macbook Pro. This also allows for faster transfer of information from the processor to the RAM which is now expandable to up to 4GB. The other new addition is a completely single piece trackpad which is made of glass and incorporates multi-touch gestures. The new iteration of the Macbook also omits FireWire and replaces the AVI port with an Apple proprietary Mini Display port. The 2.0Ghz model is available for 1,299 dollars with the 2.4Ghz model at 1,499 as of this writing.

Low quality plastic used in construction of key mechanical parts in order to ensure failure and non-repairability just outside of warranty period. Often shrouded in a thin sheet of satin brushed Nickel plated Chinesium to give appearance of durability.
Examples of extensive use include: Faucets, washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, function knob shafts, locking and retaining mechanisms, furniture fasteners, safety equipment, power tool internals, etc.
