Apple MacBook Air: Full Throttle

The Air is more than a pretty face. At its core: Intel's 1.6-GHz Core 2 Duo P7500 processor--a miniaturized CPU that remains exclusive to Apple, for now. Also inside: 2GB of memory, Intel 965 Express integrated graphics, and an 80GB, 4200rpm hard drive. These specs powered the Air to a PC WorldBench score of 57 (read our analysis of the Air's performance).
