Yes, and on most laptops, that 3G modem would block another USB port, either to the side, or above it. I would use a USB extension cable with that thing regardless. Or simply use Bluetooth to get online.

48 seems pretty low for the xbench score, i guess its the disk but i would have guessed the c2d processor to do better, my c500 with celeron 1.86 gets 70 in xbench

its close to mac mini scores...its cause it uses the ipod 80GB hd. i think its 4200rpm...? dont quote me on that though.

Yeah...my Hack Pro got a 174 lol. But then again, it's not made for processing - it's made for Email, Internet, Office, that sort of thing.

@ secretanchitman, yeah it's 4200rpm.

Well, I felt that I too needed to post my XBench score 🙂

85.82 on the latest version of XBench. Most of my low score falls to my hard drive actually. I wonder how much it would improve if I had one of those Hitachi 7k200s
