New MacBook Air is slower than Older Model

The new MacBook Air obtained processor speed bumps as well as a price drop by $300-$700. Although there was a clock speed increase, Macworld found that the new MacBook Air happens to be slower than the original.

“What’s weird about the new high-end MacBook Air model is that although it cost dramatically less than its immediate predecessor, it was also slower than that model. The late-2008 1.86GHz MacBook Air was faster than the new top-of-the-line model in 11 of our 18 tests, and as a result, the old system’s final Speedmark score was slightly higher. The low-end 1.86GHz model did a better job versus its predecessor, besting it on most tests and improving on its Speedmark score.”

If while looking for a new laptop you want one that is light weight and a small size, then the MacBook Air is still the computer for you.
