The 13-Inch MBA Burns The Fastest 2010 MacBook Pro

Holy crud. While it’s just a benchmark test and those don’t accurately reflect yadda yadda yadda YOU GUYS. The 1.7GHz Core i513-inch MBA just blew the door off of last year’s 2.67GHz Core i7 17-inch MacBook Pro on GeekBench. And did more than twice as well as last year’s tricked 13-inch Air. That is bonkers.

At this point – unless you work in the optical drive industry – why would the 90 per cent of us who don’t need professional-grade computing ever choose a Pro over an Air? [Laptop Mag via ElectricPig]

      why you want a slow computer if you know MBA is faster, i can’t see which one is more or less useful.

    Reasons for MBP: 750GB HDD. Gaming. 15 inch. Optical drive. Better speakers. 8GB RAM.

    Who am I kidding, I’d trade my 2010 MBP for an Air any day; that beast is so heavy and chunky!
