Miscellanea

With the late 2007 revision of the first MacBook, the keyboard received several changes. The same keyboard short-cut to control multimedia was added than that on the iMac. The embedded numeric keypad and the Apple logo were removed from the command keys.
The polycarbonate MacBook was the only Macintosh notebook, until the reintroduction of MacBooks in 2015, to be offered in more than one color since the iBook G3.
In February 2007, Apple Inc. recalled MacBook because the graphics card and hard drive caused the computer to overheat, forcing the unit to shut down randomly.
