You lie. Each Mac is individually sprinkled with fairy dust by Steve Jobs so it defies physics.

 

Actually, it's quite possible. I've seen tests where worse specced machines outperform supposedly better hardware in a real world test. Simply measuring clock speeds and megs of RAM is a good way to get a general impression of how fast a computer is, but things like logic board design have a real impact on performance, and are very hard to gauge without testing.

 

I see where you're coming from, but Macs use PC hardware from PC hardware manufacturers. Apple no longer do unique design work. The Macbook Air's innovation in smaller size, for example, is entirely due to the engineering work of Intel (making Penryn fit in a smaller package).
