How can this be???
How can these benchmark scores be higher than my 2.5 mbp, and 75pts higher than the other benchmarks on MBA's at 41-47???
What is going on here?

Guys, remember this is a SSD drive. FASTER then a HDD. If you get the 128 SSD for the pro, it would be faster.
That is so cool though, it being faster then the pro in some areas

Simple: compare it with your MBP and you see that the overall score is so much higher because of the SSD read and write.
CPU and graphics is slower, but not too big of a difference to my old MBP .....just ordered my new Air-baby now

HAHA, you were happy with the results? Me 2. Unfortunately I will wait till college starts. :'( bummer, a whole semester and finish this one... argh.
haha.. better than the ~45 score that the 1st gen MBA score.
But do realize that the score is largely attributed to the video card being significantly more powerful and the second gen SSD - both of which are weighed significantly into the score.
Don't give to much value to the overall score ..do a XBench with your existing Mac, upload it and compare ..that will give you a much better picture.
and yes 137 is pretty good ...but the SSD is the main reason for such high overall score.
The SSD in the original Air was missing space. If you accounted for the space lost when formatting, and the space lost from having the OS installed, there was like 5GB that couldn't be accounted for.
About 113 I believe on the 128 if you do the fresh install and wipe the lang. and other unused packs. Check the stickies there is a lot of information on this exact thing for you.
How do you assertain that the reason is primarly the SSD? I am really interested in understanding this. These benchmarks beat my MBP with 4GB on many fronts.
Compare this to the saved xbench BPS macbook pro. Get me your thoughts.
kthx
The new MacBook Air is still ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But somehow theres room to add so much more. A bigger hard drive. A 4x graphics performance boost. And more power for everyday tasks. Mobile computing has yet another new standard.
The air main page is updated.. At leats I never saw it...
Anyways 4x as fast! NIIIIIIIIIICE! Yeah this better graphics card and better SSD solved ALOT of problems IMO.

Just go here: http://db.xbench.com/ and search for "air" the 1,1 with 1.8Ghz will be around 47-48, pick one and click "Set as Comparison Baseline" on the right side and you can compare right there.
