Configuration matching & limitations

CPU/GPU-only tests do not depend on SSD capacity, colour or radio option. They do not establish battery life, storage speed or display quality.

Macworld: Numbers refer to the reviewed setup. Storage, screen finish and cellular options do not establish CPU/GPU differences; memory and chip-bin differences remain separate.
