Comparison of MacBook Family Models
The MacBook Pros feature illuminated keyboards. FireWire 800 and Thunderbolt ports and a SD Card slot (ExpressCard/34 slot on the 17 inch model) are included with the MacBook Pro; the polycarbonate MacBook has no FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 port and uses a Mini DisplayPort port for connecting to displays, and the MacBook Air lacks FireWire. The unibody MacBook refresh introduced a Mini DisplayPort for all unibody aluminum MacBooks (i.e. all except for the polycarbonate model). The MacBooks feature two USB 3.0 ports, while the 17" (now discontinued) contained 3 USB ports.
The lids of the MacBook family are held closed by a magnet with no mechanical latch, a design element first introduced with the polycarbonate MacBook. Memory and hard drive access is straightforward in the current MacBook lineup, aside from the MacBook Air which does not allow easy access for upgrades. The regular MacBook has been discontinued.

“But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is very important not to become hard. The artist must always have one skin too few in comparison to other people, so you feel the slightest wind.”
—Shusha Guppy (b. 1938)
“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
