The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year (through 10/25/07) is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. 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

Looking for a shiny new notebook to slap your shiny new Windows Vista on that'll run it all super snappy and buttery smooth? According to PC World's tests, the fastest Windows Vista notebook this year is (or ever): the MacBook Pro. Yeah, it makes throw up in my mouth a little bit before forcing me to contemplate succumbing to Apple's siren song. Anyway, for the record, its WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 bests Gateway's E-265M by one point, making it the king of Windows on the road, at least for now. It's just a little sad, that's all. --via giz.

Who's surprised?

And wash your mouth with soap and water, bigtoe. Next time it'll be pepper, so watch it!

I was sure it had to be a mac. smile.gif

At any rate, why would anyone waste all of that horsepower on vista if they can have OS X 10.5 Leopard wink.gif

(btw, personally if I had to pick between vista and OS 7 I'd choose OS 7, but that's just me...)

They compared apples to oranges, laptops with completely different specs. Oh, a computer with 4GB of RAM will perform better than one with 2GB of RAM? Big surprise there! In other news, Sun's Rock servers are better than a 486.

That statement made absolutely no sense. This is a hardware, not a software question, which is also why comparing windows performance on a Macbook to any other $laptop with similar specs is useless.
