Geek Patrol benchmarks the MacBook against the MacBook Pro, and concludes: "The difference between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro varies between 75% and 115%; sometimes the MacBook is faster, sometimes the MacBook Pro is faster. For CPU-intensive tasks, I doubt most will notice the difference between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, Geekbench doesn't measure GPU performance, which is the biggest difference between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. For GPU-intensive tasks, most users will probably prefer the dedicated GPU in the MacBook Pro over the integrated GPU in the MacBook."

Correct me if i'm wrong but The figures presented are quite misleading.
Benchmark MacBook MacBook Pro
Emulate 6502
single-threaded scalar 87 83(95%)
According to the figures displayed it's obvious a waste of money to buy a Macbook Pro since the performance gain varies between -6 and +13 ( or should i say:94% - 113%?).
But i think the info could have been better displayed.
