Do you realize that the only qualifications for running Vista is the hardware. What they are saying is that, for general operation, the "hardware" in the Macbook Pro gives the highest score. Don't let Mac-heads tell you that it makes Mac superior, this review does nothing to support their OS.

So then why does the same article list the Alienware laptop as the best gaming performance? Did the speed tests on the Mac skip graphics, memory paging and hard drive speed? I'd like to know more as to what speed tests were run and how close the speed of the Mac was to the other laptops using the same test. Once again the holes in the story betray a bias.

This is the fastest notebook computer when combined with Windows Vista. An Apple Macbook Pro.

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.­­

They skipped the game performance section because the only thing mac users do is download music through proprietary software and splice together myspace videos of themselves with the same 6 effects.

Fastest laptop to run Windows Vista so far? A Mac ;-)
