MacBook

Cupertino's portable computer

MacBook is Apple's line of laptop computers, introduced in 2006.

The name combines the Macintosh brand with the portable format.

Various models have included the MacBook Air (emphasizing thinness and lightness) and MacBook Pro (emphasizing performance).

I left my MacBook at the coffee shop.

The term sometimes refers generically to any Apple laptop.
