Hi all,

I popped in to my local iStore today (unofficial Apple Store) and to my surprise they had both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air's on demo.

I only had a few mins, but took the opportunity to install and run some Xbench tests on the 11-inch model.

I have posted the results below:

http://www.lifeintech.co.uk/gallery/11-inch-macbook-air-xbench-results/

I have to say, before I saw the two models in reality I was convinced that the 13-inch would be the model for me. However after comparing them next to each other and using the 11-inch model I honestly believe it is the better product. The screen although small, is beautiful. Literally a millions times better then any NetBook I have seen.

Thankfully they also had the 11-inch hocked up to a 24" Cinema Display and I can confirm that it also worked amazingly well. I opened multiple applications, played some video (Quicktime 720p) and surfed the web. No noticeable slow down and a perfectly usable experience. :D

Hope this helps some people with there buying decision.

Well if I buy one I am really looking forward to the SSD. In some of the random tests it is around 10x faster than the 5400 RPM in my Mac Mini.

Although the Open GL test was a little disappointing as my Mac Mini with 9400M scored higher than the 320M which is a bit strange, I guess it could also be affected by the processor speed.

But I am definitely still considering the 11 inch one (and keeping my 15" i7 as a more mobile desktop machine).

If I get the chance tomorrow I'll see if I can post some more results. I will also post the results for my current MacBook Pro (Rev G) for comparison.

I am seriously considering the 11" MacBook Air. :D

Interesting. It appears the 11" MBA is slower than my late Rev C with TS128B SSD in all categories except the disk test, where it is marginally better (220 vs. 210). I'm not surprised the CPU is slower, but the enhanced graphics are clearly slower. Here are the xbench results for my machine. I'd really like to see results posted for the 13" model.

Update: a quick check of the xbench posting site shows the 13" model also with lower scores (as compared to the late Rev C MBA) in all categories except the disk test where it is about 10% higher.

So I see that the MBA has a score of ~99, can anyone tell me how much of a hit in performance I'll see switching to the 11.6 MBA base from a 2007 iMac 20" 2.4C2D on Snow Leopard (I got an Xbench score or 152.23). The iMac scores higher in every category except for the disk test (in which the MBA completely destroys my iMac which I expected). I know that almost no one will be able to give me a hands-on account, but theoretically how much of a hit would I see?

Will the superiority of the Flash Memory, make up for the loss in performance in other areas? I will be keeping the iMac, but there's a chance it might get put in it's box and get replaced by the MBA and a 27" Cinema Display, if the MBA will be able to handle some occasional photography work (processing RAW photos which weigh in at about 10mb, and occasional photoshop work).

You wanted this to be theoretical so here we go ;)

CPU: 2.4GHz vs 1.4GHz; iMac has 71.4% faster CPU (or MBA has 41.7% slower CPU, depends how you count it). iMac also has 4MB of L2 cache while MBA has 3MB. I'm just counting the GHz difference since they both use the same microarchitecture and have two cores so this is very theoretical.

RAM: 667MHz vs 1066MHz; MBA's RAM offer bandwidth of up to 68.2Gbit/s while iMac offers only 42.7Gbit/s, so MBA is 59.7% faster in memory bandwidth (note: these numbers are at single-channel, I don't know does MBA support dual-channeling).

MBA can take 4GB of RAM while your iMac can take up to 6GB, so iMac can take 50% more RAM. How much do you have now BTW?

GPU: iMac has underclocked ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT and MBA has NVIDIA GeForce 320M (not sure is it underclocked). You can do the comparison on your own, they seem to be pretty equal.

Storage: MBA's SSD is a lot faster than your 7200rpm 3.5" HD in iMac. Can't give any specific data because it depends on the HD

Due to the SSD, the MBA should feel snappier but photo editing may be a bit slower because of the slower CPU. However, it should be okay for Photoshop if you're not in hurry

I currently have 2 GB of RAM in the in iMac (and I'm fairly certain that it came stock with 1 GB, tbh I can't remember). I am able to do just fine with the 2 GB of RAM, I'm the kind of person who closes every program when I'm done with it (a habit from my Windows days I guess). TBH, I'm not sure if the MBA supports dual-channeling and I can't find anything confirming or denying that.

A small performance hit on photo editing won't bother me, I just don't want to be beach-balling every 10 seconds.

Do you think I'll be ok?

It's hard to say because MBA has no RAM slots. If it had 2x1GB, then it would be easier to say. However, RAM bandwidth is VERY theoretical difference as most apps cannot take advantage of such high bandwidths so I doubt you would notice difference because of the RAM speeds.

A small performance hit on photo editing won't bother me, I just don't want to be beach-balling every 10 seconds.

In 99% of cases, beachballing occurs because of 1) page outing (i.e. lack of RAM, data has to be written to HD instead of RAM) 2) when CPU and/or other components have to wait for the HD to spin up (with SSD, you shouldn't have this problem since its access time is zillion times faster ;))

It shouldn't be beachballing, photo editing isn't very CPU intensive although it depends how intensive your editing is. For hobby based editing, MBA should do the job fine.

I would get 4GB RAM though, that will make it feel faster and more "future-proof" plus Photoshop loves RAM so the more you have, the faster it will be.

OK, that reassures me now. I'll keep the idea of getting the 4GB of RAM in mind, but my instant gratification complex will probably get the best of me like it always does:D Also regarding the future-proofing aspect, that won't be much of an issue, because the MBA only has to last 1.5 years, and then I'm off to college which will inevitably result in a new MacBook of some kind.

Is the gpu underclocked? I ran xbench on my MacBook 1st gen with GMA 950 and the OpenGL test was more than twice as high which doesn't make any sense to me...

CPU ram and the ssd were higher on the air though.

hmm based on the test you guys got it might be probable that the 11 incher's GPU is underclocked. Perhaps for thermal reasons?

Previous gen's 9400M was underclocked so I would be surprised if 320M was not, especially in the 11.6".

OK, it's clear the 11.6 inch MBA underperforms the late Rev C MBA in all categories except the disk test. Can anyone post results from a 13.3 inch MBA? I'm expecting the 1.8 GHz stock cpu to underperform the 2.1 on the late Rev C, but it would be interesting to see the other scores.

I'm very suspicious that the new 13.3 MBA will either underperform or at best be on par with the late Rev C MBA, even with the BTO 2.1 GHz processor. This is partly a selfish suspicion since I bought an MBA in July. So far looking at the xbench postings on their site, the new MBAs are getting lower overall scores than my late Rev C MBA. However, I don't know if anyone has gotten a BTO 2.1 GHz delivered yet.

I just ran XBench on my Late 2008 MBP dual 2.8 C2D and this is what I got (See below). I also just ordered the 11.6 1.6 C2D 4GB / 128SSD.. I hope I can compare when that comes in:

I picked up the 11" ultimate configuration yesterday. If you are looking at benchmarks to decide if you want this computer or not then you don't want it. But if you want something that is just pure fun, then go get it. Seriously, despite it's puny specs it is the most fun Mac I've used in a long time. For normal tasks it just flies. But anything CPU intensive will be a task. If that is what you do, then don't bother with the 11".
