Macbook vs Macbook Air Benchmarks

Hi,

Has anyone seen any benchmarks are a good write up comparing the new Macbooks with the new Airs?

Maybe we can discuss it here.

Macworld posted some (along with the review)..... the 2.4GHz MacBook even without an SSD is still around 22% faster than the high end MacBook Air. Interestingly the White 2.1GHz MacBook for $999 reviewed a higher speedmark score as well.

Does the 4200rpm HD account for the difference a lot?

It's pretty obvious that it does from the test results, but in real life usage it won't be that big of a difference.
