Apple has upgraded their consumer line of notebooks, the MacBook, to Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors today. The machines are now up to 25 percent faster than the previous Core Duo versions and feature a built in iSight camera.

“MacBook has helped drive Apple’s notebook market share to over 10 percent in US retail, and the new MacBooks will be among this holiday season’s most exciting new products,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With Intel Core 2 Duo processors across the entire line, these new MacBooks are up to 25 percent faster than their predecessors.”

Prices start at just US$1,099 for the base model and US$1,499 for the black model. The machines are available today from Apple Stores and apple.com.
