I treated myself to the latest Macbook Air (13-inch screen version) recently and am loving it so far. It is a lovely looking piece of kit, to start with - but the fact that it is a triumph of style does not mean it is lacking in substance.
The first thing that impressed me is how quick it is - everything (including booting up and shutting down) is done in an instant or so it seems. Applications open promptly and so far it has reacted quickly to everything I've tried to do on it. The keyboard has a nice feel and action, which may sound like an odd comment, but if you are someone who was key-board trained, as I was, and types really quick, these things matter! It took me a couple of days to get used to scrolling via the pad on the keyboard but actually it became second nature fairly quickly.
Despite being thin and sleek, it still feels substantial and the screen size on the 13 inch is comfortable for everything I want to do on it - writing (as now), emails, using the internet, managing photos, and watching streamed video/TV. The definition of the screen is also impressive; I have a good quality dSLR camera and my photos look superb on the Macbook screen. I also watched a film on it via SkyGo the other night for the first time, and the quality of the image and sound was good, perfect for watching TV in bed.
I won't pretend it's perfect. The relatively small amount of storage space is part of the price you pay for it's sleek appearance, but I have a good iPassport hard drive which works well with it and am slowly getting to grips with iCloud so I don't find it a massive problem. It is also expensive - you could argue that you can get a decent desktop PC for the same or less money, and you'd be right. But then you don't have the portability - with this you can so everything you can do on a desktop PC but from the comfort of your sofa…
The MacBook air is great for anyone who uses their laptop for standard computing things. If you are a heavy gamer or graphic designer I wouldn't recommend it! It is light, sleek and really a delight to use. Apps made for Mac are beautifully designed and simple to use. I personally wouldn't bother buying any Microsoft apps as the apple equivalents are just as good and much nicer to use, documents can be exported in pages to a word format so they can be transferred to Microsoft users. The battery life is very good, lasting all day, and it is very quick to charge up to full power again. The main disadvantage is fairly small storage space (which helps keep the machine so light and thin) but this can be easily solved by external hard drives and cloud storage. Additionally there is no disc drive but if that becomes an issue then external drives work well. The mac OS also works seamlessly with any other apple devices you own, i can update my calendar, contacts and imessage other apple users on my iphone, ipad and ipod touch without any glitches, I can access all my cloud stored documents from anywhere on any of my devices and photos transfer automatically if icloud is engaged. Another excellent thing about the mac Operating System is regular free updates that keep the machine up to date. Apple also offers significant discounts for students. I would say the Macbook Air is perfect for anyone who uses their computer for day-to-day internet browsing and word processing etc, it is pricey but I would never go back to not using a mac!
As I had been using Microsoft Windows since I was a kid, I was kind of afraid to make the big change and buy an Apple laptop. I tried to use it from friends that already had it and I thought it was very difficult. Fortunately, I made the right decision and I believe I will never regret the choice I made. If the new software scares you, don't worry as in one or two days you will become very familiar and learn most of the shortcuts. Coming from a postgraduate student, this laptop is the best choice someone can make, especially students.
Fast, reliable, silent, light, very easy to carry out and with long lasting battery, this laptop will not disappoint. If the price worries you, you can see it as an investment as it will surely last more than 3-4 years without a reducing performance. The only thing I can see as a disadvantage is the small size of the hard drive but with external hard disks and online storage places it shouldn't be a problem. The lack of a cd/dvd drive does not make a big issue for me as these days not many people use cds and dvds.
After two years of using it, I haven't seen any effects on its performance. It is still the same fast laptop as it was two years ago. The battery is not performing 100% but still very good and can be easily replaced whenever I want as I have a guarantee.
I believe I will keep buying apple laptops for the next years so my advice is to go for this laptop and you will see how much you love it and never want to change back to other pc.
To be honest with you, I am a windows user... however after buying myself the first gen. iPhone I was happily impressed what apple created as so far I didn't really like it. Also I was a fanatic gamer and most of the games etc were designed for Windows platforms anyway..
Now I am a bit older obviously and after I made the step back to the iPhone I now also upgraded my PC. My 'old' pc running windows 8.1 is gone and I bought myself a nice Macbook Air...
how thin, how light... the battery life... I am impressed by this amazing product and after a few days completely used to the Mac OSX that I now sometimes get annoyed at work when I try to open things on my windows pc!!
It's expensive, but if you have some spare money and don't need a new pc every year I think a Macbook is worth the money!
Also there are several companies who are willing to buy/trade your old one for a newer macbook! so for a few bucks you can make a nice upgrade.
This is a great laptop. The metal finish and the slim design give this product a premium quality feel. In addition to this, performance is great and the device is very reliable. I have had no problems with it at all.
The quality of the display is great too.
As the design is slim, the product weighs very little and therefore it is very portable. However the downside to this is that the product is too slim to incorporate a DVD drive. However external DVD drives can be purchased.
While the device isn't the cheapest on the market, it is very robust and should last a very long time. The MAC Operating system is very easy to use and also less likely to pick up viruses, compared to other operating systems.
Connectivity is also good with several USB ports available. Overall I am very happy with the product and would buy again.
Typically people fall into two camps, they either love Apple Macs or they prefer PC computers. I'm the same- I've grown up with PC computers and have predominately used them throughout my working career of near on twenty years. I'm saying this so you understand which camp I'm coming from and why there may be a little bit of unintentional bias in this review!
So, I took a new job and on day one I was presented with a MacBook Air. I was both excited and worried at the same time. For an experienced PC user the MacBook can only be described as a frustration engine. The keyboard short cuts and the way things operate are very different to how this is done on the PC. You would of course expect that to some degree, after all it is a different operating system.
There are many things I like. The MacBook Air has that Apple sophistication that is hard to put your finger on. It looks good, both physically and when booted. I love the fact that the MacBook is effectively silent. Doesn't make a sound. I enjoy the fact that when I raise the screen it's on. If I shut it, change my mind (happens frequently with me for some reason) it's on again, ready for work. Perfect. I really like the keyboard, it's relatively quiet and feels good to use. I struggled with the track pad a bit. There are ways to use it, which differs to the way a PC is typically used so it can be hard to make the transition. The thinness of the MacBook Air and the weight are fantastic, making the device highly portable. In fact I have an old iPad that I can't be bothered to lug around with me any more because the MacBook is just easier and more flexible. What else is good? Well the battery life is fantastic. You can get hours and hours out of it between charges and this means this device is absolutely fantastic for those who travel.
There are plenty of things I do not like. I do not like the keyboard short cuts. I do not like the file management system. I dislike the fact in certain cases processes seem to be a lot harder to accomplish on the MacBook than it would be on a PC. The Windows operating system is just better here. That's just my opinion and perhaps me being a little bit stuck in my ways. A lot of Mac users say that the mac is intuitive. I guess it depends what you are used to. Other areas that could work better on a Mac are things such as Microsoft Office. Excel specifically seems to really struggle to crunch the numbers when compared to a PC. I spend quite a lot of my day in Excel and this crashes out frequently and has a lot of weird issues. However I have noticed that when I'm home I typically write my work documents on the Mac now instead of my PC so I can't hate it too much! Must be getting used to it.
In summary, would I buy one? For a pure work computer where I have to spend most of my day in Excel, PowerPoint or Word then perhaps I wouldn't bother. It's probably not the best machine for this... however for a home laptop, to do more media orientated tasks, and stuff on the Web etc. then I would definitely consider it. For someone who travels a lot- works at airports, on trains etc. then I think it's a great device for this situation. For example next week I'm taking my car in for a service and the dealership have a waiting lounge with Wi-Fi. With this MacBook Air I can go there wait for my car for three hours, work as normal and then drive home when my car is ready. No drama. I don't think I would have tried that on a PC but I'm told the very latest ones are up to the job too.
Give me another six months on it and I might be a convert. What I would say was prior to using the MacBook Air I would have dismissed it out of hand as a purchase choice, now I'm nowhere near as sure and I think I secretly like it.
Before I purchased my Apple MacBook Air I was dubious of whether I would be able to get to grips with a different operating system having been used to Microsoft Windows, but I had lusted after the sleek stylish lightweight design of the Air. A trip to the Apple store proved very useful and allowed me to try out the laptop. The operating system is very different but easy enough to get used to. I am also impressed that windows an easily be installed onto the laptop so you can have the best of both worlds. This laptop really is a great size for transporting, it;s small and light and turns on in an instant, much quicker than PC alternatives. The battery life of the laptop is also very good and will last a whole day. Another aspect i like is the reasonable discount off the product by being in education whether that be as a student or teacher. Overall if you want something that looks good, can transport and is a little bit different I don't think you will be disappointed.
Apple products in general are promoted to have the most simplistic design to have the most beautiful outcome while keeping up with most of the competition in performance. In other words the Macbook Air, I have had this for over a year now can honestly say when you first get it you are dubious, thinking is this going to be a novelty but no it keeps you enthralled from the moment you take it out the box which is also simple and beautiful as far as packaging goes that is... The first thing is the price however, you cannot simply go down to your local seller of macbooks and expect to be able to afford it. Even if you spend a good couple of hours hunting for a cheap deal online I'm afraid you will still be spending more money than someone ever should on a little silver chopping board ;-) Although they have been cut in price in the past year from £1200 approx. by around £200 it is one of the higher priced models on the market for the performance you get out of it. I can say right now if you dont need to have an apple product or have stylish machine DONT buy this as you can get better performances and better prices for those better spec devices. I do know however that a lot of you out there might be more inclined to look at the total package and not just one particular area of a netbook. For example performance is not Apple's selling point to a big extent. Apple is the number one for creating works of art when it comes to the looks department and in order for them to do this they need to reduce the power a little. The tapered look is very cool on the macbook air and even though it is no longer the thinnest available it still very sleek. It is not the lightest but is still ultra portable, as a traveller myself I know that when you have a powerful latpot thats like putting a couple of big bricks in your rucksack it isnt much fun to cart around. The Air on the otherhand is light durable and is 10x better than most laptops for travelling. The machine itself is still good enough that you could scrape by using it for work but its not recommended, this is much more of a personal laptop that is good for fun and games. The built in flash storage means is very quick on boot up and when in standby mode open it up & it instantly back on and you can start using it again.
With 2 usb slots and a SD card slot you should be fine for memory and the headphone jack is of course very useful. The magnetic charger port that whips your charging cable into the slot is a nice touch if not very important. The backlit keyboard is very nice and the keyboard itself as usual with apple is great to use. With the new OS: X Lion (Operating System e.g Windows XP) the multi touch gestures are brilliant and anyone can pick them up. The biggest downside for me personally is the battery life, apple say the battery life is 5-7 hours but it depends on what you are doing, surfing the web it should cope and give you about the 5 hours, but if you plan on using heavy cpu use apps / games or other software it does tend to drop to just a 2-3 hours. It can during such taks also heat up a little and cause the fans to heat up on ocassion which can be annoying it times but like a say depends on the apps used.
As netbooks / Laptops & Macbooks go, this is one of the for the casual user and traveller definitely but if you need it for work I wouldnt recommend.
Here I am writing a review about the MacBook air on my new MacBook air, and how glad I am to be doing so! Ever since one of my friends got a MacBook last year I have always wanted one myself. It is one of those items, which you have to sit down and actually use before you value how good it really is.
Obviously, the first amazing thing about the MacBook air is its appearance. I am sure that you have seen from one of apples stunning adverts the beauty of this computer. For what it packs inside it is incredibly thin. This makes it incredibly portable; it easily slips into your bag and is not a hassle to carry around all day. I am proud to pull this laptop out in the library because it looks so sleek. At £999 it comes at a price, rather larger than other laptops, but despite all the hardware, for the design alone it is worth the price.
The flash storage in this laptop is simply amazing! Unlike a normal HDD it has no spinning parts, which makes it battery efficient and extremely quiet and cool. Although advertised as having 7hrs battery life, I average about 5-6hrs, which is still very good. Unless I am consistently downloading large files the computer never gets hot. It has also never made a noise! It is completely silent! But what flash storage is designed for is its speed and it is very noticeable. From completely off to the password screen takes 6secs on mine, or to fully boot up without a password takes 9-10secs. Pages and apps load virtually immediately after clicking on them. The only downside is the price for the size of storage you receive. It only has 126gb of storage which is fine for normal use but not for storing lots of large files or movies. Although you could always use an external SDD.
I know lots of people question the price of the laptop, but for the design and flash storage alone the price is well worth it if you ask me. On top of this you have the amazing OS lion operating system and great apps that you can download.
With such a thin, sleek design there are bound to be some features that aren't included in the original design. For me the main thing when I first bought the laptop was the lack of CD drive. Now, Apple are trying to be too modern here for me - I think that CD and DVD drives are still widely used, despite the growing popularity of online streaming of movies and TV! So I missed the drive of my old computer and subsequently had to buy an external drive (thus using up one of the two USB ports). However, this is worth it for how much lighter it is to carry than your average laptop.
Apple designs are undoubtedly the overlords in intuitive user interfaces and the Macbook Air is no exception, boasting all the Apple programs, (of which I only end up using a handful), and the ease of use.
When you have finished a session on the laptop, simply shut it to automatically send it into sleep mode and open it to reopen a session, without the lag of time it usually takes to load a computer!
Macbook air in a nutshell - smooth to run, portable, easy to use, fun to use, classically Apple, expensive, no CD drive, the lightest laptop I have ever had, easy to carry around, the best laptop I have ever had!! If you have the money, I would definitely advise investing in one of these gorgeous computers!
i have owned so many macs in the past years and i can see apple products progressing so much! i am a student so it helps me so much! its software it spectacular, especially garage band, i have made some decent tunes on there! the webcam is amazing, i skype alot with friends from overseas and they have commented how good they can see me! the sound quality is also amazing, i carry this with me everyday on the train in my bag, it is so light weight and thin! the keys are so easy to type on, the display and lighting of the whole product, is well, impossible to explain! i love my macbook alot, the only disadvantage is the lack of a disk drive which isnt that handy at times, but most things can be transferred to USB these days, utterly amazing product, can't wait to see what apple can do next!
The ultimate in sleek, desirable, portable computing had received its first refresh in 2010 since the original Airs launch. The original machine was much maligned for being underpowered and viewed as a purely luxury item that had no real place in the market, other than for people who had more money than sense. However a raft of changes were implemented in the refresh that has turned the MacBook Air from the butt of the joke into the life and soul of the portable party.
One of these changes relates to the updated unibody chassis. Gone is the drop down section of the side of the case for the ports and in is a more angular design that incorporates straight sides. These sides enabled the ports to be simply integrated into the flat surfaces. This promotes the devices ease of use that is at the heart of Apples simplistic design ethos.
One major talking point of the launch was the new chassis size of 11.6 as well as the previous 13 inch form factor. This smaller size greatly improves the products portability and is a size that is able to fit neatly into the Apple line up - providing their smallest screen sized laptop.
The thickness of this device is a true testament to the leap forward that Apple and indeed the technology world has made in creating truly portable devices that are able to retain a decent amount of battery life and power. The dimensions of the MacBook Air 11 are nothing short of astounding. The 0.1 inch thickness at the front of the device coupled with a paltry 0.67 inches at the rear means this device is seriously thin. Perfect for ultra portable computing and yet due to the aluminium nature of the chassis the device is able to easily carry off these "wafer thin" dimensions while still retaining structural integrity.
Also incorporated into the body is Apples glass trackpad, boasting all of the multi touch gestures found on the MacBook Pros and Magic Trackpad. The keyboards are full size and are of the same ilk of those found in all other modern Macbook products and offer ease of use due to the spacious placement of keys and the tactile feedback. The keys on the 11inch Air are placed generously and actually slightly overlap the bezel of the screen.
Another key element of these ultra portable devices is the screen resolutions. The Airs display is one of the finest displays ever incorporated into Apples laptop range, even trumping the screens that are used in the refreshed MacBook Pro range. The only downside being that some experience a rapid degradation in colour and brightness as soon as you move from the perfect viewing angle. In my own experience this is a negligible feature that may only prove problematic in doing high level photographic processing or viewing on the device.
This is a neat segway into the true nature of this device. The internet is littered with comparisons of this device to its larger brothers, the MacBook Pros, and due to this comparison, lamenting this devices lack of processing power. This device is not designed to be a workhorse or a hub for high level processing programs such as Final Cut or Logic. The portability of this device is they key to its success. For those people that do not require blisteringly fast processing power, yet need a portable computing solution that makes no sacrifices in keyboard size, quality of screen, battery life, an amazingly fast boot time, instantaneous app loading and mind boggilingly fast file management due to the SSD drives and you surely have a recipe for success.
Once again an emphasis must be put on the fact that this device is not applicable as a base computer unless you purchase the larger model with higher spec processor and ram options.But even with these improvements it may still be lacking if put up against its more powerful brethren when it comes to hardcore processing comparisons. It must also be noted that the price point of the MacBook Pro would definitely provide a more capable alternative. But the premium price you pay is for the ultra slim design and the SSD based memory.
In Use:
And so as I write this I am staring lovingly into the screen of a MacBook Air, purchased with my hard earned a few months back. My own personal choice was the base model of the 11.6 Air comprising of the 64GB capacity and 1.4 Ghz processor. If i have any processor heavy activities such as music creation on Logic Pro or video editing then i know i have the perfect machine in a 27 inch iMac, and when I'm out of the house at college, work or a friends house then I have the perfect companion in the MacBook Air.
But what about Apples other ultra thin, high end design focussed and SSD laden device? Surely the iPad 2 is cannabilising the sales of the MacBook Air? From my experience of owning both devices then there are some areas in which the devices overlap. Portability and beautiful displays to one side and the merits of each device are extremely clear. The MacBook Air facilitates productivity through the ability to truly multitask and use multiple windows at the same time combined with the full-size keyboard.
When it really comes down to it the MacBook Air is my travel companion, my device of choice when something needs to get done and I'm away from home. Its high quality keyboard makes typing a large volume of words as breeze, the high quality display means that multi media functions are able to be handled with ease. The extremely small surface area and thickness of the 11 inch means that it fits into most backpacks with plenty of space to spare and the excellent battery life means that it doesn't need to be perpetually plugged in. All in all, as long as you understand the MacBook Airs limitations, the slow processor and limited memory, and you feel it would suit your needs then I would advise any potential suitor to invest their money into this device. For the financial outlay you get a true Apple thoroughbred, high quality designed, amazing service and a product that you know will stand the test of time.
Hi friends I bought Apple MacBook Recently for my personal use. I am a engineering student and I need laptop to study and for some entertainment. I am sharing my experience with you hope this will help you to make a good choice.
When I open the packing I noticed that its bit heavy than any other laptops. It's not too heavy but still. The screen is glossy and shining and it feels good when we look at such a bright screen. Apple MacBook consists of Intel chip so I think there is no performance issue. Keyboard is not that comfortable some keys are loose and sometimes it stops working. The quality of camera is very amazing. The stereo speakers are same as others and performance is satisfactory. The best thing about MacBook is Remote from which we can play music, view photos and add playlists. The battery life is also great. Its around three and half hours. The integrated graphics card is not good for gamers. They can't play high graphics games on such graphic card.
Some heat issue is also there. The bottom part of MacBook becomes too hot. I am big fan of movies and love to collect movies in DVD's. A dual layer DVD burner of MacBook helps me a lot. One more thing the card reader is not there in the MacBook. I was bit surprised when I got to know this.
Overall it's running fine for me and I am satisfied but I heard many people complaining that their hard drive and battery suddenly crashed. So friends be careful before making your decision.
the first time made the Apple MacBook Air - 1.6 GHz, very impressive work of this one. The new Apple notebook, the MacBook Air, May is not exactly easy as many had expected, but it is easy to break new arena for baby laptops. Imitating the 13-inch MacBook contour of the line itself is accepted 0.76 inch thick to be blubbery, and what Apple as the "world's thinnest of the notepad." Some Nitpicker means an incomprehensible Mitsubishi laptop from 1997 was a thin hair, but two of the public accepts indigenous Ultra Portable. This stylish and super slim laptop has everything but the CD/DVD drive where you can play your cd collections, import dvds and copy them and open files using a compact disc. Yes, you got a slimmer notebook than before altough you have to sacrifice one feature for good looks. Be wherever you are, use this wonderful notebook. enjoy it. Now standard on Apple laptops, the magnetic power adaptor keeps your laptop safe should you accidentally trip over the power cord. Amazing!
Since last ten years, there is super boom in personal computers and technology.
After that if we consider laptop market than it covered modern market of pc users, due to fast moving life, more competition in market, globalization and latest technology effect in every field.
Since last five years, the boom which rolled out computer users in laptops, given many advantages as better configuration, technology, portability and accessibility.
Now a day's computers maker companies considering the portability as main target and they are providing laptops which are light in weights and small in size.
First gainer of this idea was SONY when they launched ultra thin portable laptop 'Sony VAIO X505VP' which was 2cm thick and weight of probably 820gm.
But this model of SONY failed to capture the market due to configuration and some basic accessibility features.
Apple is a grandfather of laptop market, when they launched their super hit model MacBook Pro, rolled out market toward Apple.
The main reason behind hitting market by Apple MacBook was its configuration and superb graphics quality.
After the huge success of MacBook Pro Apple has decided to go for ultra thin laptop market, considering high profile market, and they have launched newly MacBook air, light weight an about 2cm thin laptop.
Here I will discuss on configuration, portability, handling, advantages and disadvantages of MacBook air.
Size and Weight
First of all this is the main feature of MacBook air so that I would like to mention its size and weight here.
The main aim of MacBook air was its ultra thin size so having this, it has about 2cm thick and weight is about 1.36Kg.
The accurate size is 1.94 x 32.5 x 22.7 cm (H x W x D).
Human is a ruler of earth, why?
There are other lives also, but they doesn't deserve to this? Ofcourse.
Because Human has a brilliant mind, a processor which can think about right and wrong as well.
So whenever I write a review on laptops or computers my first target always remains a processor.
Considering this MacBook air available in 2 Model one has 1.6 GHz (1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4MB shared L2 cache) core2 duo and 1.8 GHz (1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4MB shared L2 cache) core2 duo Intel processors.
Now if we have a look on processor than we will find that it is something less than its hit model MacBook pro.. Why?
Because the main aim of MacBook air was its size and weight so that they have done some compromise with configuration as well
But if we consider 1.8 GHz processor than its more enough for this kind of laptop, we will never fell lesser.
Here is the second main feature of laptop is its display size, not more than A4 size notebook.
The display is 13.3-inch (viewable) glossy widescreen LED 1280 x 800 pixels.
Now we can put this as in our bag and its smoothly portable size.
The other main feature is its memory, random access memory which is more important for live work on laptop that is 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
Here I wants to say that 2GB memory is more enough but the more important feature should be consider as graphics card, as it can handle large size of application.
Such kind of application can't be handling smoothly by memory. So we have to put better quality graphics card to access them.
Hard Disk Drive
The another main considerable feature is its hard drive capacity but here its also less than its MacBook pro model, but most important poit is that it has SSD(solid state drive ) in it and it is more reliable hard drive but more expensive also.
The provides hard disk is 64GB Solid State Drive and it is available for extra payments, but basic hard disk is 80GB 4200rpm parallel ATA hard disk drive.
80 Gb not more but it is satisfactory.
Now a days we are getting higher memory consumer applications so that we need some better capacity hard drive.
Optical drive
Here is the considerable point.. that how can this kind of thin model will handle optical drive?
Ofcourse it is not possible to put DVD ROM in this model so that they have provided an option of External MacBook Air USB SuperDrive (8x DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW).
It is necessary also to keep ROM so that we have to put some extra money for that as well.
Graphics Card
I always used to consider graphics card as top priority, because without it we will struggle to handle latest software's.
So graphics is more important and Apple is the main player for providing good graphics card in laptops but here they also sacrificed this in its size.
Due to its ultra thin size, the graphics card also provided as traditional which we have seen in many previous models.
And this graphics card is Intel GMA X3100 graphics (144MB of shared memory).
Here is what means by shared memory?..
Shared memory means the graphics card will share memory from RAM, it does not have dedicated memory which has its own memory for graphics, but due to the ultra thin portability the graphics also provided as traditional Intel GMA X3100 graphics.
Now have a look some basic features
Wireless card which is more important for latest Wi Fi technology that is AirPort Extreme WiFi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n).
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
Micro DVI, USB 2.0 port (480Mbps), Audio out
Integrated 37-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery, here is also have a lower capacity battery but provides better back-up as about 3-4 hours of backup.
Conclusion and Bottom line
As I told in review that Apple has sacrificed many of its features due to making its ultra thin and portable.
So we have some lower configuration but its build quality is excellent and it is super portable model available in the market.
So we will definitely enjoy this laptop as it does not give more burden in our bag and it is a best traveling laptop.

Hi Suanj,
Would you please tell me if I am interpreting this correctly:
1871 Villalba, Caltanissetta, Sicily
Name of groom, age, occupation peasant, then it reads: nato, domiciliato e residente in Villalba.
nato = born in
domiciliato = domicile or living in (OR citizen of ? - my guess)
residente = resident of
This record was made just after the unification of Italy. The area was rural and remote, and I assume change didn't always occur quickly. I think when domiciliato is used this way it is to indicate the person was a citizen of that comune. I observe as the records become more recent this term together with residente is no longer used. Is this a correct interpretation?

Todd is The Herald's boys basketball Player of the Year
Hobbled by a severely sprained -- and severely swollen -- ankle, Todd went back to the Tacoma Dome locker room, had his ankle taped and returned to the floor in minutes. His presence helped galvanize the Jackson High School boys basketball team, so much so that the Timberwolves nearly erased a 12-point deficit in the 4A state championship game.
In part because of his grit and toughness, and in part because he led the 26-1 Timberwolves with 21.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, Todd is The Herald's 2013 Boys Basketball Player of the Year.
"The greatest thing about him is he finds a way to be productive, whether it's defense, rebounding, assists, steals, he finds a way to impact the game," Jackson coach Steve Johnson said. "His work ethic, character, toughness, like (in the state championship), it sort of completes the package. It's hard to measure what he's meant to the team."
In the final game of his junior season, Todd was running back on defense when he "caught the ankle and twisted it." An x-ray showed no broken bones, but there was plenty of swelling.
Todd was already a well-known, highly regarded athlete before the state tournament. Playing with his injury in a game that was televised locally only added to the legend.
"There's no way you're going to take me out of that game," Todd said. "Hurt ankle, whatever. I'm going to give it my all and play for my team. They deserve nothing less than my full energy. They've earned that. ... I thought to myself you never know if you're going to get back to the state championship. You've got to seize the opportunity. I took a quick breath, said a quick prayer and got back out there. I knew this was my chance to give back to my team."
Jackson trailed Curtis 31-19 at halftime. The Timberwolves vowed to come out stronger in the second half and did just that, turning what looked like a potential rout for the Vikings into a game that went down to the final buzzer before Jackson fell, 60-56.
"For everybody, it was their last (game) of the season. We had one half, 16 minutes, to play our hearts out," Todd said. "When you're playing, you really don't think about (the pain). That's something my dad's always preached to me. If it's in your head, it's going to mess with you. The adrenaline high kind of takes over that pain."
Jason's father, Kevin Todd, watched his son with pride. He also knew his son would continue to play hurt.
"As I told him the following day, that's what you're supposed to do," Kevin Todd said in an email. "You get back up and keep moving forward. You contribute in other ways, try to help your team and see if you can't make a run at 'em and they did. The credit goes to Jackson, not Jason. It didn't surprise me at all that he was going to finish that game."
Obviously in pain, Todd repeatedly made his way up and down the court. He continued to go for rebounds and drive to the basket -- once falling to the floor with a defender, causing a loud gasp in the Tacoma Dome. All the while, leaving an impression on those in attendance.
"There was a college coach in stands watching that said the way he interacted with his teammates and showed toughness and leadership was one of the best examples of intangible he's ever seen," Johnson said.
After the game, Todd had to be helped out of the locker room by coaches and teammates. He spent time in a wheel chair with ice wrapped around his ankle. The ride home with his family was a long one.
"That was probably one of the most painful experiences of my life," Todd said. "For a lot of reasons."
Kevin Todd said he'll never forget that car ride.
"Those are the moments that bring you back to reality," Kevin Todd said. "What I'll also always remember is once we were in the car, (Jason's brother) Ryan prayed with him -- that was powerful stuff. The love that (sister) Ashley and Ryan brought that night was something I'll never forget. The support from his teammates, coaches, the students that drove to Tacoma was awesome. I tried to reinforce the positive on the ride home, not the final score."
Johnson, too, spent time immediately after the game trying to convey to Todd that he didn't let anybody down.
"I don't want to tell you too much, but let's just say that Jason takes a lot of pressure on himself," Johnson said. "He takes things very personally. And I told him that he should never, ever, ever feel like he's let anyone down. Least of all me."
Despite the disappointing finish, Todd said he can see many positives in a season where the Timberwolves matched the best finish in school history. The 2010 team also placed second, and that squad featured Todd's older brother, Ryan.
"I definitely consider the season a success," Todd said. "We did a lot of things not a lot of teams were able to do. We won our league, a district championship and made it to state. Then we got to the state championship. A season is never a failure. I'm blessed to be a part of the season I was. I give all the credit to my teammates."
Todd couldn't walk out of the Tacoma Dome last Sunday morning. Next year he plans to walk back in and write a different ending to the story.
"It just wasn't meant to be and that's fine," Todd said. "It's just more motivation to work hard this offseason. We're going to push even harder than we thought we could. This year was a memorable year and we need to take all the positives and apply them to next year. Take the things that didn't go well and work on them this offseason so that they're better next year.
"I've still got one goal and hopefully next year that goal can become a reality."
All-Area team
Player of the Year: Jason Todd, Jackson, Jr.
The Timberwolves wing was a steady force for perhaps the steadiest team in the state. Todd averaged 21.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in leading Jackson (26-1) to the Wesco 4A South title, the District 1 championship and a second-place finish at state.
Coach of the Year: Nick Brown, Arlington
Sure, the Eagles were supposed to be good, but few outside the north Snohomish County town thought they'd be this good. Led by Brown's unflappable coaching style and appreciation for his kids and community, Arlington won the Wesco 4A North crown, was the runner-up at district, reached the state Class 4A semifinals and brought home a fifth-place trophy.

Australian Scott Higginbotham was banned for two Tests for kneeing and headbutting All Blacks captain Richie McCaw.
The All Blacks were understandably upset that no action was taken at that crucial juncture in the game.
'I saw the headbutt – it's another cheap shot,' coach Steve Hansen said. 'He seems to get them every week but everyone seems to miss them.'
Sanzar judicial officer Jannie Lubbe, who exonerated Wallabies playmaker Quade Cooper after he kneed McCaw in the head during the Tri-Nations decider in Brisbane last year, categorised Higginbotham's foul play as 'low level'.
Lubbe was of the opinion that the kneeing was more 'was more of a bump than a hit'.
The headbutt, meanwhile, 'was reckless and not executed with much force'.
Lubbe noted McCaw was not injured and was able to play on.

Kent State Hosts LGBTQ Benefit EventPosted Mar. 23, 2011
On April 2, Kent State University will host a film screening and reception in conjunction with the 35th Cleveland International Film Festival to benefit the university's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Student Emergency Scholarship Fund.
The two-hour reception begins at 7 p.m. in the Cleveland Ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton, followed by the 9:20 p.m. screening of "A Marine Story" at the adjacent Tower City Cinemas. The film tells the story of Alex, a servicewoman who is discharged under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy but finds a new direction in civilian life.
Kent State's LGBTQ Student Emergency Scholarship Fund provides support to LGBTQ students whose families have cut them off financially. Students can use this support for tuition, books, housing, food or other essential needs to help ensure their academic success.
The fund was established with a donation from an anonymous faculty member, according to Kent State's Molly Merryman, associate professor of sociology and co-coordinator of the LGBT Studies program. "We started to have students contacting us and telling us stories of how they were being cut off by their families because of either their sexual orientation or gender identity, and that they were in considerable financial distress," Merryman said. "This event is an effort to increase our resources so that we can help more students."
The $75 cost includes appetizers, two tickets for wine or beer and a ticket to "A Marine Story." There is also a $100 option, which sponsors a LGBT Studies or PRIDE! Kent student to attend the reception and film. Pride! Kent is the university's student organization and is the second oldest LGBT college organization in the country.
At the reception, Assistant Professor Walter Gershon from Kent State's School of Teaching, Learning & Curriculum Studies will present an audio montage of stories collected from LGBTQ students. In addition, one of the students helped by the scholarship fund will speak.
"Our real hope is that by collaborating with the Cleveland International Film Festival and raising awareness of the emergency fund that we will attract more individuals who are interested in helping our efforts," Merryman said. "Based on what it costs to assist a student for one semester, we think we need about $1,500 to $2,500 for each student we help. The Ritz-Carlton Cleveland generously offered to support us by donating the use of its ballroom for the event, which is very exciting."
The Ritz-Carlton also has donated a free hotel stay, which will be raffled at the reception to raise additional money for the fund.
"It's a great opportunity to mingle with film fans, meet some of our students, enjoy the ambiance of the beautiful Ritz-Carlton and help a worthy cause," Merryman added.
To purchase tickets for the April 2 reception and screening or to obtain more information, visit www.kent.edu/lgbt/index.cfm or contact Merryman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 330-672-0315.
In 2001, Kent State began offering the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies minor, becoming the first university in Ohio to do so. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies minor is designed to allow students to explore sexuality and sexual minorities from a variety of perspectives.
In March 2010, Kent State opened the LGBTQ Student Center. Located on the second floor of the Kent Student Center, the LGBTQ Student Center serves as the academic and social hub for the university's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students.
"A Marine Story" also will be shown on March 31 at 2:15 p.m. and April 3 at 2:05 p.m. at the festival, with support from Kent State's LGBT Studies program. For more information on the Cleveland International Film Festival, visit www.clevelandfilm.org.

|John M. Ferretti, D.O., President and CEO of LECOM (left), presents a check to Dwight Miller, President of WQLN Public Media, at the announcement of a new partnership between the two entities: The LECOM Healthy Living Network.
WQLN Public Media and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine hosted a joint news conference on Wednesday, April 21, to announce a new partnership that will greatly benefit the dissemination of information promoting a healthy lifestyle: The LECOM Healthy Living Network. (To view the LECOM Healthy Living Network channel on YouTube, click here.)
WQLN Public Television is now scheduling six hours of daily healthy-lifestyle, medical news and medical science programming on WQLN-TV 54.2. Channel 54.2 is WQLN's second television channel that carries the Create Network. The new channel lineup is called the LECOM Healthy Living Network. The programs featured on the LECOM Healthy Living Network are from the best producers in public television.
"For some time, LECOM has been interested in finding better methods of reaching the Erie region with health care information that will make a difference in people's lives," said John M. Ferretti, D.O., President and CEO of LECOM. "The Create Network, with the Healthy Living shows, is a great source of programming that the audience will find interesting as well as entertaining."
Dr. Ferretti realized that public broadcasting faced a major economic hurdle when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania reduced funding for the station. By sponsoring the Healthy Living Network, LECOM is proud to support WQLN during these tough times.
WQLN Television is proud to partner with and host the LECOM Healthy Living Network. "There are many important programs being produced today that could both entertain and benefit the communities that we serve," said Dwight Miller, President of WQLN Public Media. "These are programs that we never had available space for in our schedule. But now with the advent of digital television and multiple program streams, we have the room. The Create Network, which airs on WQLN TV 54.2, has become a very popular channel for both antenna and cable viewers. The addition of the LECOM Healthy Living Network will only enhance the offerings on Create."
The Create Network can be seen free and over the air by tuning to WQLN TV 54.2; or on Time Warner Cable channel 21 in Erie, Time Warner Cable channel 18 in Erie County, and Coaxal Cable channel 4 in Edinboro.
This summer, WQLN Public Media will produce a monthly program for the LECOM Healthy Living Network called "Meet The Doctors." The program will feature a monthly theme, healthy lifestyle information, and medical news.
"Our physicians, students and faculty members are excited about participating in this opportunity to showcase health care to a wider audience," Dr. Ferretti said. "The doctors are experienced not only in medical practice but in medical education, having trained students and residents. They bring a great store of knowledge that allows them to partner with their patients for the highest quality of health care."
These physicians will also appear in a series of House Call Minutes, short video stories that will educate the audience about a variety of health topics.
Now on the air, the LECOM Healthy Living Network will feature these nationally produced programs:
• Healing Quest
• The Fitness Show
• Healthy Body Healthy Mind
• Wai Lana Yoga
• Christina Cooks
• Delicious TV's Totally Vegetarian
• Scientific American Frontiers
• Alzheimer's: The Cost Of Growing Old
• Facing Alzheimer's: An African-American Perspective
• Second Opinion
• Cancer Story
• Motherhood Manifesto
• Get Curious, Not Furious! Communicating Your True Color

"Made in L.A."
This summer, Los Angeles gets its first biennial, "Made in L.A. 2012: New Art Now," June 2-Sept. 2, 2012, featuring works by 60 artists spread between three institutions, the Hammer Museum in Westwood, LAX Art in Culver City and the Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park in Hollywood. The show is also laying claims to some billboards, has a presence at Venice Beach, and is accompanied by an iPhone app boasting commentary by artists and tunes by the local collective Dublab.
Organized by a team of five curators -- Anne Ellegood and Ali Subotnick from the Hammer with LAX Art curators Lauri Firstenberg, Cesar Garcia and Malik Gaines -- the show should be quite a mind-bending gathering. At the Hammer, where I got a preview, the rewarding mix of established and younger artists begins at the lobby with a vast pseudo-advertisement for California by Meg Cranston and Fiona Connor's faux-white marble stairs leading to a window facing Wilshire Boulevard. Otis art prof. Roy Dowell shows his new sculptures, which have all the charm and verve of his better-known collages, while an adjacent gallery features Analia Saban's deconstructed paintings in neutral tones.
Other high points: Kathryn Andrews' sculptural installation with clown costumes; Meleko Mokgosi's cycle of African history painting; Mark Hagen's decorative screen made of recycled but weirdly elegant materials; Dan Finsel's disturbing and funny accumulation, which includes raw clay sculptures, video of himself as Farrah Fawcett and rugs woven from Hanes underwear.
Much more is at LAX Art, notably a celebration of ten years of Slanguage (Mario Ybarra Jr. and Karla Diaz), plus lots of performance art.
There is more at stake here than critical praise for the artists. Five of these artists will be selected by a panel of jurors on June 28, when there is a Hammer Bash with music by Jason Bentley. And one of those artists will receive a $100,000 award from philanthropists Jarl and Pamela Mohn. That award, however, represents a new twist on an old system. Instead of being conveyed from on high, this award will be given by the public. Voters must register at an I-pad kiosk at any one of the three biennial locations. After June 28, they can vote online or at any of the institutions for one of the five semi-finalists. The winner will be chosen by those who have had enough interest to go see the shows.

On July 15, Austin
Police Chief
Art Acevedo posted on Twitter that he was in Los Angeles to be by his mother's side.
"She may not survive the night," he wrote.
She did, and the next day she moved to hospice, where Acevedo said she was resting comfortably.
On Friday, after he spent nearly three week's by his mother's bedside, she died.
"On August 2, 2013, 1243 PST, we commit our rock, our love of our lives to our Heavenly Father," Acevedo tweeted. "Thank you all for your love and comfort."
Since arriving in California, Acevedo regularly tweeted about his mother, Leida, changing his Twitter avatar to a photo of him when he was younger, wearing a white tuxedo and a pink boutonniere, holding her hand.
"Listening to mom's breathing in the middle of the night," Acevedo said July 18. "The rhythm of her waning life will be unforgettable & somehow greatly comforts me."
"Mom's arms & legs are starting to feel cold & stiff," he said July 30. "As her hour nears heaven prepares her new home."
Acevedo's daily updates came as Scott Simon, host of NPR's Weekend Edition, kept his own digital record of his mother's final days.
"Worst: Telling our daughters," Simon tweeted after she died. "Oldest was flinty, youngest sobbed. But guess which one cried long into the night…"
Simon's mother entered a Chicago hospital July 21 and he started tweeting the experience of sitting and sleeping at his mother's bedside when it became apparent she would not be leaving the intensive care unit, NPR reported this week. His nearly 1.3 million Twitter followers read along.
When Simon said he knew the end might be near because it was the only day in his adult life that he'd seen his mother and she didn't ask, "Why that shirt?," 425 people clicked "favorite."
Acevedo has a fraction of Simon's followers - just more than 5,000 - but many of them sent a steady flow of encouragement, condolences and prayers in 140 characters.
On July 19, he marked six years since he was sworn in as the city's police chief from his native state.
"Thank you @Austin_Police & people of ATX for the privilege!" he said.
From California he has also shown signs online that he's keeping his hand at the helm of the department, retweeting video footage of a murder suspect and discussing public safety with other Twitter users.
Three days after a fatal officer-involved shooting last week, Assistant Chief Brian Manley, who is acting as chief in Acevedo's absence, started a press conference by telling
that the chief was "closely monitoring" the shooting and in daily contact with the department about ongoing investigations into the incident.
Online, Acevedo offered the public a chance to monitor his life, and his loss.
"Like all families we left the den, but love of our lioness has summoned us together for her to reinforce her first life lesson," Acevedo said Friday morning. "Family FIRST."

A year ago Allister Coetzee described the Currie Cup as a development tournament. Now, after his team won it in 2012, he believes it is more coveted a trophy in South Africa than Super Rugby.
Crazy talk from the Stormers and Western Province Director of Rugby and head coach.
But he's not alone.
Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske, when asked by the Independent's Jacques van der Westhuyzen, which of the two trophies he – and his team coveted the most – also said the Currie Cup remains tops.
It must be public relations talk because there is no comparison between the two competitions, in terms of quality. There is also no comparison between the Currie Cup these days and the great competition that was the yardstick of excellence in South Africa.
The Currie Cup, when all the best players in South Africa, participated in the competition, had a rightful prestige and standing. Now it is a glorified Vodacom Cup until the semi-final and finals because the 30 current Springbok squad members don't participate.
The Currie Cup also creates an illusion among teams of a strength that is always shown up in Super Rugby. Think the Lions, think Western Province (in the guise of the Stormers).
Coetzee, who a year ago, was very much of the view that he used the Currie Cup as a feeder to building a title-winning Super Rugby team, has changed his view since he won the Currie Cup and again failed to win the Super Rugby title.
The Currie Cup has to be seen for what it is – a development tournament.
It makes South Africans feel good about themselves because there isn't a New Zealand or Australian team to deal with. There isn't the travel of 12 000 miles and there invariably isn't the prospect of constant defeats.
'Absolutely … We have won two Super Rugby Conference titles but winning the Currie Cup last season was massive for us and the fans. It's still a top notch competition that everyone wants to win,' said Coetzee in response to whether the Currie Cup was still the most coveted of silverware in South Africa.'
Drotske to Van der Westhuyzen: 'The Currie Cup is still top of the list. There is just so much tradition. It's all the rugby the fans had in isolation and they know what the prestige is behind the competition and, with the Boks coming back for the play-offs, it remains the competition everyone wants to win.'
What do you think you?

The next big Pole after Lampe and Gortat still has a lot to learn. He is well-known throughout the basketball world after being a star of the Polish U17 team which crushed Serbia and Lithuania, among others, on the way to a silver medal at the 2010 World Championships in Hamburg. Since then he has tasted the Polish League for a year and fulfilled his dream of playing in the NCAA by committing to Gonzaga University. In his freshman year he played behind the sensational Kelly Olynyk, limiting his court time. "Karni" is massive but mobile, with soft hands, nice footwork for such a big man, good passing skills and a deep knowledge of the game, being the son of a basketball coach. He will learn a lot from Gortat during their second run together in the national team.

Affies will come up against KZN's top-rated school Maritzburg College at home this Saturday.
Affies have been dominant this year, with 10 wins out of 10 games (most of them against the country's top schools) this season. Their unbeaten record will come under threat when they host Maritzburg College in Pretoria this weekend.
College have beaten Affies before and have run well this year with six wins from their 9 matches. While the home team should be too strong to suffer an upset, don't rule one out.
Grey College have drawn their last two games against Selborne (16-16) and Paarl Boys' (15-15), with the latter stalemate the most disappointing as the relinquished a 15-5 lead. They still, however, remain unbeaten in 2011 and will look to return to winning ways with a trip to Free State rivals Fichardtpark.
Other big matches up north see Waterkloof up against Eldoraihne, St John's visit Pretoria Boys' while Marais Viljoen clash with Florida. Monument have the weekend off.

Women's Volleyball Playoff Hopes Take a Hit in 3-2 Road Loss at Barton
November 2, 2012
WILSON, N.C. - Host Barton College opened the fifth and deciding set on a 7-1 run en route to a 15-12 and 3-2 (25-15, 19-25, 25-17, 21-25, 15-12) match victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas women's volleyball action on Friday night. The win pushes the Bulldogs to 9-16 overall, 6-9 in league play while the Lady Falcons playoff bid takes a big hit dropping to 8-18, 5-10.
Meredith Watkins delivered three aces in set five's first seven points to help stake Barton out to a 7-1 lead. After a kill from Kelly Lancellot and Milana Mervosh, the Bulldogs would commit two-straight attack errors to get the Lady Falcons within two at 7-5. Trailing 11-7, Pfeiffer would again claw back down just 13-12 after kills from Jessica Homrich and Amber Wooten before a final Barton kill and Lady Falcon error sealed the match victory for the Bulldogs.
Barton stormed out to a 25-15 win in set one before Pfeiffer rallied to even the match 25-19 clsoing out the set on a 6-1 run after racing out to an early 6-1 lead. After the Bulldogs stormed back with a 25-17 set three win, the Lady Falcons came back to force a fifth set with a 25-21 win in the fourth. A pair of late kills by Lancellot and Wooten would ice the set four win.
Lancellot would lead the way for Pfeiffer with 19 kills hitting .389 in the loss. Kati Wood put down 19 kills for Barton while Melissa Cochran threw down 18.
Pfeiffer will end the 2012 regular season on Saturday at Mount Olive beginning at 2:00 p.m. Live stats and video will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

We have our daily stand-up meeting at 8:45 while the workday starts at 8:30. Even with the 15 minutes slack people keep coming too late, on a regular basis. This results in our meetings being small, incomplete, inefficient and sometimes even completely useless.
We have tried to have people bring fruit for the team on the next day, but this didn't work as we'd be having multiple breakfasts every day (and after a while they didn't even bother to bring any anymore).
We have been thinking of imposing a fine, but we find solutions like that quite childish.
How do you handle regular latecomers at stand up meetings?
What worked - and what didn't?
