Why scrape the 11, 13 and 15” Mac notebooks for 12, 14 and 16” displays? Which USB3.0 controller will they use, how much will cost, where will go in the Airs? Which Core-i3 LV and ULV chips will they use? How much are 9.5mm ultra-slim slot-loading BRDs? How much does it cost to mill an aluminum case? solipsism - Tuesday, Octolink Nothing you wrote makes sense.

This is a message to ALL PC makers! Make it half and half or give a realistically priced matte option (FREE) Reply DVD Burner with Blu Ray Player/Blu Ray Burner optionĥ) And for the love of god, stop making these screens epic glossy. HDD with SSD option (start HDD with 250GB) Core i3 with Core i5/i7 option (add thickness if necessary) And one thing I just noticed, put an actual microphone PORT and put a stereo microphone next to the webcam mini Displayport with choice of adaptor included (DVI, VGA, HDMI, Displayport, etc.) SSD (I would say start it at 90GB and work your way up) Integrated Intel HD chip and dedicated nVidia card with Optimus Core i3 LV (or ULV) with Core i5/i7 LV/ULV option (add thickness if necessary)

quiksilvr - Tuesday, Octolink Okay, here is my attempt (and I know this will never happen because it makes too much sense)Īnd as shocking as this may seem to Mac users, this is still a major premium over PCs.

Here I'm taking an XviD and converting it to an iPhone-supported H.264 format. Our final benchmark is more consumer focused. It is worth pointing out that the 13-inch MacBook Air posts better numbers here than the old dual processor 2.5GHz PowerMac G5 :) These notebooks aren't very good at intensive workloads. The performance in both of these tests in line with the rest of the results. I’m a fan of the Cinebench test because it lets me show off both single and multithreaded performance in the same workload. The 11-inch MBA is faster than the old 13-inch MBA due to its better thermal characteristics as we pointed out earlier. It's even faster than a two year old 15-inch MacBook Pro. The SSD makes the 13-inch MacBook Air far more competitive than it should be here. Apple really needs to find a way to get an Arrandale or Sandy Bridge into this chassisįor my Aperture test I simply timed how long it took to import 203 12MP RAW images into the library. But if you plan on doing real work, you'll be hampered by the performance of these systems. The 13-inch MacBook Air performs as well as last year's 13-inch MacBook Pro. We're running the exact same benchmark here, basically performing a bunch of image manipulations and filters and timing the entire process.

The Retouch Artists Speed Test we use for our CPU testing under Windows also works under OS X. The fact that there's a measurable difference between the 13-inch and 11-inch models shows you just how slow that 1.4GHz Core 2 really is. The 13-inch MacBook Air is the fastest standard shipping configuration Apple offers in this benchmark.

The entire process stresses both the disk and CPU, which is why we see a huge improvement when going to an SSD as well as differences between CPU speeds. I launched, in order: Mail, Safari, Activity Monitor, iTunes, iCal, DVD Player, iPhoto, Photo Booth, Quicktime Player, Disk Utility, Preview, iMovie, Front Row, Garage Band and Aperture. I decided to take it to the next level and write a quick script to launch 15 applications in a row, timing how long the entire process takes.

General OS usage is a difficult thing to quantify, but one measure of performance has always been the number of bounces an icon in the dock makes before an application loads. We’ll start with general application performance. I’m using the same tests I introduced in my Holiday 2009 Macbook Pro roundup and running on the launch hardware for each notebook listed in the charts. Luckily I’m in dire need of creative outlets so creating OS X benchmarks works for me. Benchmarking under OS X isn’t difficult, you just need to get creative.
