	The Late 2007 MacBook is the successor to the Mid 2007 MacBook from May 2007. There appear to have been 3 configurations of this MacBook originally. The cheapest $1099 configuration came with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive, and a ComboDrive CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. For $1299 you could get a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of RAM, a 120 GB hard drive, and a SuperDrive with DVD burning capabilities. Lastly, the $1499 configuration was the same as the $1299 one, except for the 160 GB hard drive, and the now rare black-colored body.

All configurations were able to have the RAM upgraded to 2 GB and a 160 GB hard drive.

	According to various sources I found online and an archive of Apple's website from 2007, it would appear this MacBook should've originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard since it's the Late 2007 model, not the Mid 2007 one. However, as previously mentioned, the recovery media for this laptop has OS X 10.4.9 Tiger, which was installed when I received the laptop. Since then, I have upgraded it to Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so that I can get very slightly better software support. I also already have OS X Tiger on my [[iBook G4]], and if necessary, I can always reinstall Tiger since I have the recovery discs. I also could've easily continued upgrading to OS X Lion, but my [[2007 Mac Mini 2,1\|2007 Mac Mini]] already runs Lion, so I decided to stick with Snow Leopard.
