Apple CEO Steve Jobs presented an enhanced MacBook line up during a special notebook-related media event in Cupertino on Tuesday. Jobs unveiled two new MacBooks: a 15-inch model for $1,599 and a 13.3-inch model for $1,299. As expected, Jobs also cut the price of its entry-level MacBook to $999.

Referring to the existing white plastic models, Jobs explained: "We sell a ton of these, and people love them," Jobs said. "They sell for $1,099, and we're gonna keep right on selling these, but we're going to reduce the entry price to $999."

The new MacBooks are like 13-inch versions of the MacBook Pro, with the same metal casing, a glass trackpad, faster graphics, and a Mini Display Port connector.

Jobs also said Apple switched from Intel Corp. to Nvidia Corp. as the supplier of the laptops' graphics chips.

The MacBook Pro will cost $1,999 for a 15.4 inch model and $2,499 for one with more memory and a bigger hard drive.

Among Mac Book Pro’s funky new features we can find one of the iPhone's through which users of some of the company's new laptops will be able to spread out their fingers on the laptops to zoom in or out a photograph, for instance.

Regarding touchscreens on Macs, Steve Jobs said: "We've certainly experimented with it, as you might imagine, and it currently doesn't make a lot of sense to us." In other words, the eager ones have to wait for the next wave.

The new machines are expected to reach Apple's retail stores on Wednesday.
