Coming from a mid 2010 MBP with the following specs:
-2.4Ghz i5 (Dual-core, 3MB L3)
-4GB (2x2GB) 1067MHz DDR3 Memory
-1440x900 LCD Display
-Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 288MB, Nvidia GT 330M (discrete)
-320GB HDD
I'm under the impression the 13" MBA is better in every single way:
-1.8Ghz i5 (Turbo boost to 2.8Ghz (does this mean it is better since turbo with both cores is 2.6Ghz?))
-8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3L Memory (Obviously better)
-1440x900 LED Display (despite smaller screen, same resolution)
-Intel HD 4000 512MB (according to this chart, the HD 4000 is better than the 330m (current discrete card) and has more vram)
-128GB SSD (obviously upgradeable, but I've never passed the 100GB limit on this MBP. Plus, it's faster).
So what do you guys think? Is everything I said up there right? Because it seems awfully strange that a macbook air can beat a just 2 year old MBP.
