Benchmarks: HP Probook 4530s vs. MacBook Air 2011 13"

[Dewitts]

My standard Geekbench score is 4751 (in 32bit mode), I made my own .mkext by adding all the kexts required for the S/L install PLUS extra.kext and I get a score of 4757.
I'm wondering if removing the kexts from extra.kext and installing them individually and adding them to the mkext would make it better??

mkexts are not supported in lion. So I advise against them.

I just like my laptop booting faster, which won't happen if you use that method. But if you need the power, it works.

So the conclusion is, if one can afford the macbook air, it is the perfect laptop one can ever think of, but since most of "US" cant afford therefore we are fine with our rig

Wank an i5 in that HP and the scores will run wild.

Wank an i5 in that HP and the scores will run wild.

With an i5 and nullcpu.kext the score is about 6xxx, and it's a 2.3 ghz.
Macbook air with 1.7 perform a lot better, considering the whole of it:
-Better screen
-Better battery life
-Full trackpad
-ecc...

The only thing is the price =P

i can buy 3x of 4530s xD.
We should benchmark the 13" and the 14" version of 4530s

The reason i installed Mac on the laptop to know if the price of Mac Apple laptop justifies the price, and yeah... Apple products though are expensive, but they are worth it....
