Fastest PC Notebook...Is a Mac?

by Evan Shamoon on October 31, 2007 at 07:31 AM



Apple fanboys get your iBlowhorns out, maybe even an iMarchingBand or two: PC World has put together its "Notable Notebooks of 2007" roundup, and it's declared Apple's MacBook Pro the fastest Windows Vista notebook it tested this year.

Besting PCs from the likes of Alienware and Toshiba, the MacBook Pro didn't win every category (there are certainly smaller, lighter, and more battery-friendly notebooks out there), but it won the race to the finish.

"The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows." Of course, you'll also need a copy of Leopard (which comes with Apple's BootCamp software) for the full Windoze experience.

We have a feeling they'll be talking about this victory for awhile.
