Are there any benchmarks? I have looked and most are testing the new one with SSD versus the old one with HD? I am looking for some comparisons of the HD versus HD and 1.6 versus 1.6.

Want to get a true idea of the differences in the machines..

Any help would be appreciated..

Hi,

I'm not sure if you've seen these, but the Geekbench scores are:

Jan 2008 Air
1.6GHz: 2023

October 2008 Air
1.6GHz: 2245

For comparison that's about on par with the original MacBook (2298).

The Air has a far better integrated graphics chip.

So when you compare apples to apples there is not much difference..

11% by my calculations..

Mmm…

There are other factors.

Having a Mini Display Port vs MicroDVI arguably an advantage for future compatibility.
