[QUOTE="b2013, post: 1555021, member: 316180"] Thank you both for the strong arguments; I think now I can see that benchmarks are reliable. However, there is a problem with the benchmarks you (pigoo3) mention in the other topic (MBA 7097 vs. MBP 5482): These seem to be from [URL="http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks"]everymac[/URL], where the MBA is tested with Geekbench 2 whereas the MBP is tested with Geekbench 3. And as the website says, the two versions "[B]cannot be directly compared[/B]". Moreover, on [URL="http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks"]primatelabs[/URL] they both get approx. [B]similar[/B] results: MBA: 6149, MBP: 6174. So, can we really conclude that the MBA scores better? [/QUOTE]
