The folks over at Macworld might just have what you’ve been looking for — benchmark scores. The website has published benchmark results for all four variants of the new Air and as it turns out, all four outperformed previous generation models. The new 11.6-inch MacBook Air, even with its 1.4GHz processor, managed to outperform the older 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo models thanks to its speedy flash storage. The new 13.3-inch 1.86GHz model even managed to marginally outperform the current 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Totally agreed with u smile.gif If most of the time one needs Windows, then better get a Windows laptop. It hurts everytime I see a lovely glowing Apple logo but at the other side of the screen is Windows  cry.gif

Anyway, It's just my 2 cents. Diff people diff taste  biggrin.gif

I am a developer. Work as programmer. I have to use Apple Script Editor to do the scripting for mac platform. I cant do mac programming in windows. You know la malaysia gomen, their tender require running on multi-platform is a MUST. I also need iPhoto and iDVD for my photography freelance job. And the iphone 'ehem' tools is release in mac platform 1st. Windows always in behind.. And im now exploring XCode for my future skills.. brows.gif
And the other reason is, windows laptop too bulky.. too hot, too heavy, 98% cant run osx..

Eh bro, is there any protector for glowing Apple logo in the market? hmm.gif

you better check it. normally it won't charge extra. I bought my mbp for RM3599 and it charges exactly that. if you are sure it's stated 3993, contact apple or your credit card company.

thanks bro, ya im sure, i still keep the email from apple..
