By brother has just bought a Haswell i7 laptop with 8GB of ram and a ssd/hd disk setup. Pretty top of the line stuff.
I run lightroom a lot and really like the idea of moving away from my desktop.
So last weekend we ran a set of tests on the same set of images. In each case my desktop was faster sometime by a factor of 2.
Now my desktop is 'only' an i5 with 8Gb and a SSD system drive.
So in theory the laptop should have smoked it.
Any ideas why ? Are laptop chipsets still slower than desktop equivalents like they always were ?
