If you were to load Windows 7 on MacBook Air by any chance, you’ll find out that they’ll load faster than any other notebook. In the overall performance race, the new MacBook Air already outlives its predecessors. So the big question is, how do the 2010 models of MacBook Airs stack up against the same category of Windows 7 based notebooks?

First off, judge the notebooks, solely on performance basis. Only then, you’ll find out that MacBook Airs have the upper edge. Try running a fresh Windows 7 installation on the MacBook Air, it’ll load faster. No questions asked. Even if you’ll try the same gig on a same level notebook as of MacBook Air, there will be a slow Windows 7 loading process.

All hail the experts at PCWorld Labs, they used Apple’s apps to load Windows 7 on the latest 11 inch and 13 inch MacBook Airs. Using WorldBench 6 test, the experts tried Call of Duty, DiRT2 and such category games. The results were aesthetic; all Airs were hard to beat by the same sized native Windows based counterparts.

Here’s an Excerpt quoted directly from the PCWorld Report;

• First we tested a high-end 11-inch MacBook Air packing a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, 128GB of flash storage and an Nvidia GeForce 320M integrated graphics chipset. We purchased our test unit for $1199, a much higher price than most Windows netbooks fetch. But in light of the size similarities, we compared it with some of the top-scoring Windows netbooks of 2010.

• Our WorldBench 6 software runs systems through a timed gantlet of popular consumer applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Mozilla Firefox, compiles the results, and spits out an overall score. The 11-inch Air earned a WorldBench 6 score of 74, very impressive given that the average WorldBench 6 score of the netbooks we’ve tested recently is 45.
