The 2.13GHz model performs pretty much as we’d expected in our Mac-native Xbench tests, outpacing its predecessor by around 15-20 per cent. A little experimentation with the bundled iMovie video-editor also confirmed that it is noticeably more responsive when working with large video files. Still, it’s a shame that the 2GB of memory can’t be increased.
