Traveling this week with the MacBook Air. A few things of note:Â
- On a five hour flight from Las Vegas to Anchorage, the battery was still chugging along at 25% (wi-fi disabled) when the flight attendant told me to put it away because we were landing.
-
Some early reports suggested that a high-speed USB internet adapter would not fit in the Air’s unique flip down USB port. However, the Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U slides in no problem.
- Some shock and dismay when attempting to lock the Air down with a Kensington cable as the Air has no Kensington lock receptacle!
- On the plus side: the Air actually fits inside my hotel’s in-room safe (unlike the 15″ MacBook Pro replaced by the Air).
In other news: PC Mag reviewed the ModBook and gave it a paltry 3 out of 5 recommendation. For a rig that costs $2,600+ it really should do much better than 3 out of 5. PC Mag found the ModBook fell short by having terrible handwriting recognition, no rotation of the display (you are stuck with portrait mode); including a GPS antenna instead of WWAN (yeah, that’s just bone headed); lack of keyboard; and, heavy for a slate (5+ versus Motion Tablet’s 3.3 pounds). So, guess that makes the Air the better choice at this point even though it has neither built-in WWAN or GPS.Â
Therefore, a home business opportunity with a organization that incorporates
professional, expert training, taking you based on information from the basics thru the advanced
stages of a re&wshyp;selling system, including how to use tool programs,
marketing tools, etc. I love it because when you get bored of running, you can swim.
Following the publish war era of the late 1940’s one more sort of
a boom commenced.
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both
equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something too few people are speaking
intelligently about. I am very happy I found this during my
hunt for something concerning this.
