First Macbook benchmarks surface

Macworld has released the first round of benchmarks on the new Macbooks. Not surprisingly, the Macbooks held their own in CPU intensive tasks against the Macbook Pro. The real achilles heel of the Macbooks is their integrated graphics. On an Unreal Tournament test, the Macbook averaged 17.6 fps, while the Macbook Pro averaged 63.1 fps. Obviously, if you want to play games, the Macbook is not the best choice.

Still, for the money, the Macbook is an incredible value and looks to be a great alternative to the Macbook for business related tasks.
