Running YABS on MBP2012
Wanted to run a BM on PHP-Friends VPS before turning it off for good, instead I hit enter in my terminal and ended up running this benchmark for the Macbook Pro 2012.
$ wget -q0- yabs.sh | bash on my Macbook Pro late 2012 (w/ SSD upgrade to 480 GB). Not bad for a @ 10 year old laptop. Network I need to look into. So here goes...

Running bench.monster
I upgraded the disk on my Macbook Pro Late 2012 with a 480 GB M.2 Sata of Kingston Make. Since I had posted the results from YABs, I thought it was fair to post results from bench.monster also. The slow network issue at home not yet addressed, as will be evident below.

Does the flavour of Linux change the Benchmark Results>
This question has been nagging me for a bit, so instead of a Debian based system, I decided to run the benchmark on an Arch Linux based system. In this case, Manjaro Linux. I used a XFCE, lightweight desktop environment compared to KDE. Below are the results from YABS
