New 2010 MacBook Air Demo and Benchmarks
I ran xbench and a quick dd test against my new MacBook Air and decided to screencast it. This is the maxed out version, 256GB SSD, 2.13Ghz CPU, 4GB Ram which was available stock at the local Apple store in Vancouver, although online it looks to be a Build-to-order (BTO) option.
Recorded with sunlight as my backlighting, to demonstrate how this iSight webcam holds up in rough conditions.
