iPhoto and Aperture were 25 percent faster and the PCMark productivity suite was 31 percent faster running under VMWare Fusion than the stock 11-inch 256GB MacBook Air. Photoshop tests finished 17 percent faster with the CTO Air. The CTO 11-inch MacBook Air is 24 percent faster overall than the stock 2013 11-inch model we tested. As expected the 11-inch and 13-inch i7 models scored almost the same – the 11-inch is very marginally faster but nothing noticeable. We also tested the Configure-To-Order (CTO) MacBook Air models packing the i7 processor and 8GB of RAM – compared to the standard i5 processor and 4GB of RAM. The Intel HD Graphics 5000 in the new system pushed 24 percent more frames per second in Cinebench’s Open GL test and produced an 8 percent higher frame rate in Portal 2. In terms of graphics speed the new MacBook Airs showed great improvements.
