- Sam_Odio 19y agoYah - except you can easily (and cheaply) upgrade the PB to a 72K RPM drive, something not possible with the MBA - given it's 1.8" form factor. I would suspect, with an upgraded drive, a 1.5Ghz PB would be more responsive opening applications & starting, while the MBA might be able to handle more simultaneous apps running, due to the 2GB ram and faster processor.
