Hace poco publicamos una pequeña galería fotográfica del packaging del “nuevo” MacBook Blanco con la nueva tarjeta gráfica de nVidia y me pregunté si se llevaba mucha diferencia con su hermano metálico.

Como veis en los resultados realizados con xBench lo más destacable es el apartado gráfico entre la nueva y la antigua generación de MacBookd, principalmente en el test del OpenGL ya que en memoria y en CPU tampoco hay tanta diferencia. Aunque entre el nuevo MacBook Alu y el MacBook Blanco con nVidia no hay mucha diferencia y para aquellos que no necesitan un trackpad multi-touch, una pantalla LED y un cuerpo de aluminio no es mala opción…sin contar que nuestros bolsillos se “ahorran” 250 eur. Eso si, el de aluminio es muchísimo más robusto que el blanquito, el aluminio, es el aluminio.
