- POPULAR INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, POPULAR INC turned its bottom line around by earning $0.15 versus -$0.15 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.20 versus $0.15).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 101.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$227.14 million to $2.98 million.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 3.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 1.6%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, POPULAR INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.
- BPOP's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 27.00%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
TheStreet Ratings Top 10 Rating Changes
(BPOP - Get Report) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year.Highlights from the ratings report include:Rating Change #4 Popular Inc

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — State officials have denied a request by the City of Portland to delay a deadline for replacing five uncovered reservoirs that store treated drinking water.
The Oregon Health Authority notified Portland Water Bureau officials of the decision on Thursday.
Public health officials say uncovered reservoirs increase the danger of disease outbreaks, and Portland had agreed to finish replacing them by 2020. In February, the city requested a delay until 2026.
The state can extend the deadline if the city shows it has been making progress but bad weather, supply shortages or other uncontrollable factors have delayed the work. State officials say Portland has not shown any specific circumstances not known earlier.
Portland says it requested an extension because such large construction projects are challenging.

1999 Cadillac Deville Body Kits
1999 Cadillac Deville body kits are custom exterior accessories that can be installed to enhance and rejuvenate a ride's look. After years of wear and tear, the exterior components on many cars starts to look old and ugly. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior parts themselves can depreciate a automobile's value, making the use of body kits is just that significant. A body kit can change a car look newer, without ever replacing any of the true mechanics of the car.
Some stylish 1999 Cadillac Deville body kits products come with replacements for several highly affected exterior parts, ground effects and side panels. These are the areas of a vehicle that are often damaged from daily driving, but these aren't the only pieces that could be easily fixed. Other custom parts can be used to customize a vehicle's appearance, so 1999 Cadillac Deville body kits can sometimes be tailored to a driver's specific requirement. For an improved look that takes off the old looks resulting from years of driving, a high quality body kits can make you smile.

We are lucky to have Brady in our lifetime on our team.
I have him rated as the #2 QB of all time behind Montana. Montana logged 15 years in the NFL before retiring, and stats wise has impressive regular season and post season resumes like Brady. Montana is still the bar, at least for a few more years! However, if you want to compare best to best, look at the below...it's not even close.
And this is in the salary cap era. I would argue if you could come up with a formula to normalize cap vs. non-cap era, Brady would be the best QB of all time....only time will tell. Joe has 1 more SB than Brady. If Brady can secure 1 or 2 more before his era ends, he will be the new bar.
Montana's best year was 1989. 3521 yards, 26 TD's, 8 Int's, 70.2 completion%, 112.4 passer rating.
Brady's best year was 2007. 4806 yards, 50 TD's, 8 Int's, 68.9 completion %, 117.2 passer rating.
Re: An astonishing look at Tom Bradys records.

Victor stays in Nakonde, a town that is one of Zambia's major border posts in the Northern province. He and his father have been running the drugstore for 12 years. He added mobile money transfers to his business three years ago and boasts of being the very first agent to do a Zoona mobile money transfer. He says he loves the business because it's easy for customers to obtain drugs and send or receive monies to or from their loved ones and for business purposes.
With the Kiva loan, Victor will be able to add to his working capital, so that he can serve more customers who want to send or receive large amounts of money. This will help him earn more commissions. He says the commissions will help him to save up so that he can open up another mobile money transfer shop.
Victor is convinced that the loan will give his business the boost that it needs and help him to take care of his family.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is a combination of the following: 1) Capital Growth Loan: An asset-based loan provided to both existing and new Zoona agents for setting-up or expanding their mobile transactions business. Part of the amount is an in-kind loan to enable agents to acquire assets for their mobile transaction business. For existing agents, the loan is designed to inject medium-term working capital assistance to purchase additional assets or expand to new locations thereby helping their businesses grow. 2) Electronic Float Advance: Short-term liquidity assistance to qualifying Zoona agents to allow them to make mobile money payments when their electronic balance is too low to meet their immediate business needs. The loan is intended to provide borrowers with a boost to their electronic float to allow them to handle more revenue generating transactions and also give them a means to support transactions during peak demands. The borrowers will be able to draw down their electronic advance on a per-transaction basis. There are no monthly repayments, rather the borrowers will earn less commission on per transaction basis on the funds utilized from the advance. Repayments will include fixed monthly repayments for the capital growth portion and a bullet payment at the end of an 18-month term for the electronic float advance. By supporting this loan, you're helping an entrepreneur set up or expand their business.
About Zoona:Zoona is a mobile money operator that invests in emerging entrepreneurs in Africa who provide underserved communities with financial inclusion. Zoona offers entrepreneurs an opportunity to build their own businesses and create wealth and employment through mobile payment solutions, financial services, business management tools and support.

Cate Blanchett: Queen of Cool: She's Been Kate Hepburn and Queen Elizabeth and Galadriel. in I'm Not There, the Great Cate Blanchett Steps across the Gender Divide to Play Bob Dylan-And Reminds Us That However We Try to Catch Her, She'll Always He a Step Ahead
Giltz, Michael, The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine)
SO AS FAR AS OUT DIRECTOR TODD HAYNES IS CONCERNED, calling Cate Blanchett the coolest straight woman of 2007 is an understatement. "She's just so cool she calls 'straight' completely into question," he laughs. "You can quote me on that."
Haynes caught the full force of Blanchett's mojo as she prepared to play a character modeled on Bob Dylan in Haynes's new movie I'm Not There. "I knew ill my gut physically that it was going to be startling and effective," says Haynes from his home ill Portland, Ore. "I knew she would actually look like Dylan. But it's not until you stand opposite her ill complete costume. The first time she put it all on, I went to see her ill her trailer and we both just sat there staring at each other."
We can relate. Cate Blanchett takes our breath away. She defies the categories by which we measure smaller stars. She's brilliant enough to take on Queen Elizabeth I and Bob Dylan in a single moviegoing season. She's mysterious enough to make us believe her in both roles. What can we say? She's cool.
When I meet her, Blanchett is both pleased and amused to receive The Advocate's recognition. "I heard I was going to be the coolest straight person. How kind!" she says. "There's a lot of us to choose from."
Our conversations take place in New York City, where Blanchett is doing press for both Elizabeth: The Golden Age and I'm Not There, and again by phone as she drives through Southern California's canyons on her way to guest on The Tonight Show. Lovely looking in person, she is focused, direct, friendly. Regarding her life on-camera, she communicates in a rushing flow of ideas. About her life off-camera, she gives notice that she won't be giving us juicy details.
"You make a decision when you walk onstage into this arena--the public arena--about what you're prepared to wholesale and what's not up for sale," says the actress, who is married to playwright Andrew Upton and has two children. "And the lives of the people I care about are not up for sale." Celebrity culture, she rightly observes, is "a circus. It's being led by the media. It's not being led by the 16-year-olds being chased around in cars. It's junk. I don't want to fill my mind with junk."
Pursued as she is by the press, Blanchett couldn't help but feel a kinship with the enigmatic Bob Dylan. In I'm Not There she plays Jude, the coolest, most iconic character in the film; it's her silhouette that dominates the movie poster. The character is inspired by the electric Dylan of the Don't Look Back era; the Dylan who was praised and vilified; the Dylan who was turning out a series of brilliant masterpieces like Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde; the Dylan who one-upped the Beatles with press conferences filled with sly remarks and combative answers that showed him to be John, Paul, George, and Ringo all rolled up into one.
"The questions that he kept being asked by the press!" exclaims Blanchett, who studied the complete interviews Dylan gave to the media in Stockholm, Paris, and London, thanks to footage provided by Dylan's manager. "The level of vitriol and passion with which he'd been labeled and claimed! What I really admire--not only [about] him in that period but over the course of his career thus far--is that he's constantly said, 'I'm not going to be dictated by your love or your hate of what I do.' I'm sure it doesn't mean that that level of vitriol didn't affect him. But he had to be bigger than that. It wasn't going to prevent him from continuing to experiment."
The first time she caught our eye, Cate Blanchett was floating in a lake. White undergarments clung to her body, and as she rose to the surface, she began to chat merrily away in French to the sky. Who was this lovely creature in 1997's Oscar and Lucinda?
There was a wonderful queerness to the 28-year-old Australian. With her amorphous nose and pale eyes, she didn't look like a starlet, or, for that matter, like anyone else. …

May 2, 2016
A former Marine in the east is upset at a local congressman's staff, after he says they ignored his requests to remove a flawed Marine photo on the congressman's website.
The picture on Congressman G.K. Butterfield's website used to show three servicemen and women in full dress.
Officials at Cherry Point tell WITN that members of the military are not allowed to endorse politicians, so when you see one a website or brochure, its just someone portraying a military member. But Cherry point officials say even then, the uniform cannot be identical to what servicemembers wear, it has to be altered slightly because It is against the law to impersonate any member of the military.
Former Marine David Sheehan says the depiction on Congressman Butterfield's website went too far, and found the uniform alterations offensive. "I kind of expect the television and movies and things like that to not be accurate, but this is a U.S. Congressman representing a large military community."
A member of the congressman's staff told us Tuesday that the congressman would never knowingly use such a flawed photo. It has since been removed from the website.

Reprinted with permission from Aging Today. Yet, on the other hand, living longer inevitable raises a host of unique concerns. Longer lifespans mean increasing healthcare costs and needs as people become more susceptible to chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. Increased longevity raises concerns about outliving financial resources, loss of independence and control, and fears of isolation. As the elder population grows larger, so does the gaping hole, a rift caused by out-of-date policies and a lack of products, services, benefits and resources necessary to serve older Americans.

Posted: 06/26/2014I've just finished reading a scientific article and want to share it with you. It highlights the importance of really focusing on taking care of your brain and not just your body. In the article, researchers uncovered an early disruption in the process of memory formation in some people as they age. These people exhibit some early brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease, but show little or no memory impairment.
Posted: 06/09/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. Startling research from a Mayo Clinic study shows forgetfulness may be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's Disease — and not just a symptom of aging. The study tracked 1600 people who were in their 70s and 80s. The purpose was to find what percentage of the participants would develop Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a disorder characterized by mild memory problems and other neurological issues.
Posted: 05/26/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. Researchers at the Salk's Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory have found that fisetin, a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables can stop the memory loss in mice that typically get Alzheimer's disease within 1 year of their birth.(1)
Posted: 05/12/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. Dementia isn't just a disease that affects the mind. As it slowly steals away cherished memories, dementia can also cause an increasing loss of basic physical skills, such as getting up from a chair to stretch or even going for a walk. But there is hope from a 2013 study conducted by the University of Arizona in Tucson.(1)
Posted: 05/02/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. Creating new brain cells was previously thought to be impossible in humans, but not any more. And you don't need to have an injection of stem cells into your brain to do it, either. As you may know, stem cells are your body's basic building blocks, used for repair and growth. And when it comes to your brain, stem cells turn into new neurons or brain cells. These brainy stem cells then produce a chemical that protects other brain cells, even damaged ones, from deteriorating.
Posted: 04/25/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. Everyone wants to boost their brain power, retard brain age, avoid dementia and prevent Alzheimer's disease, as well as all the chronic diseases of our modern times. These days we have instant news, instant money, instant communication, instant information, and instant gratification, and we're stressed out like never before. Stress, no longer an abstract concept, is a physiological condition that can affect all of our bodily systems and contribute to heart disease, many forms of cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and other prevalent diseases of our time.
Posted: 04/07/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. A lot of people do think that you automatically get slower and lose your memory with age. But the latest research findings show how wrong that assumption is. Somewhere along the line, some of us got sucked into this incorrect way of thinking about aging.
Posted: 03/26/2014By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. You have a brain, is that true? From that brain comes your mind: thoughts, ideas, and actions that create your life, fulfill your destiny and leave your legacy. What we're learning more and more is that a certain particular part of your brain is very important. It's called the frontal brain or frontal lobes and most importantly, the prefrontal cortex (PFC). You better hope yours is in great shape or you're going to find aging more and more difficult. When your PFC works well, it helps you pay attention and not be distracted. Know anybody who is chronically late? Poor frontal lobes.

Mine is from a particular animal that appears in a business logo. At the time I first tried to create a nickname, I found that there were way too many "dolphin" names so I simply used dauphin. Obviously, a lot of the handles here are cycling related. Tell us how you came up with yours....:)

Dave Robinson - I Bet You Don't Know
b/w Version
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOUR PANELS TO VIEW GRADING STANDARDSSOUND SAMPLE TAKEN FROM ACTUAL RECORD AT FLAT RESPONSE This is an original New York pressing of the 1975 release "I Bet You Don't Know" by Dave Robinson, produced by Dickie Wong on the Merritone US label. Originally issued on the Tit For Tat label, the studio band is Skin Flesh & Bones featuring Sly Dunbar on drums, Lloyd Parks on bass, Ranchie McLean & Rad Bryan on guitars, and Jimmy Becker, the white American bluesman from Chicago playing harmonica. The B-side is the usual dub/version mix of the song. "I Bet You Don't Know" was written by Robinson's close friend Dennis Brown. In an interview with Peter I, Robinson describes the making of the record: "Dickie [Wong, producer] was a real nice person. He was just straight with his music, he said, 'Well, I want this..'. They came to my school and got me to do 'I Bet You Don't Know' to put the vocals on, and when I went I was still in high school - I was seventeen, I think I was, they came and got me at school and say, 'Dave, we need you to come around the corner and at such a time we go to King Tubbys, can you go?' I said OK, and I took two cut to be sure. Two cuts of that song, and after the second cut Dickie said, 'That's it, I think this one is good enough'. And after a couple months it was booming over in New York, I was in the number one slot. Eight weeks." This record is from my personal collection; I'm not really a buy & sell-or-trade type of seller. Like much of my vinyl, I bought this record when it came out, played it a few times, recorded it to cassette and then put it back in its sleeve for the next 35 years! Visually, the vinyl shows very little sign of wear. It's been wet cleaned, then both sides archived to CD by me as part of the grading process. Guaranteed free of skips and loud scratches when I used a tonearm weighted at 1.5 grams.
About my pricing: bidding on this sure musical bet starts at $24.99.

Sikorsky Aerospace Services Receives Prestigious Maintenance Excellence Award For 11th Time
SHELTON, Conn., Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sikorsky Aerospace Services (SAS) announced today it has received the 2012 Maintenance Excellence Award from the U.S. Naval Reserve Tactical Support Wing (TSW) for support of the Composite Fighter Squadron VFC-111, based in Key West, Fla. The award is the 11 th for SAS since the program started in 2001. SAS is the worldwide aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. ( NYSE:UTX) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060403/SIKORSKYLOGO )"It's truly an honor for our employees to receive this award, which symbolizes the unwavering commitment by Sikorsky Aerospace Services to an essential and critical program that prepares U.S. Navy pilots for their missions," said George Mitchell, SAS Vice President, Military Customer Support. "It also speaks to the breadth and scope of our support capabilities for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft produced by other Original Equipment Manufacturers. SAS' comprehensive and integrated support portfolio serves not only multiple branches of the U.S. military, but also provides strategic maintenance offerings globally." Known as the Golden Wrench Award, the honor for maintenance excellence goes to the squadron that has demonstrated superlative skills — leadership, professionalism and unrivaled effectiveness — in the safe flight and operation of aircraft involved in Navy Adversary Flight Operations. SAS provides maintenance and logistics support for 14 F-5F/N aircraft in VFC-13, and 18 F-5 F/N aircraft in VFC-111, used in the Navy Adversary Flight Operations program. Respectively, the squadrons fly an average of 3,400 and 5,200 hours per year providing adversary training to every Navy Carrier Air Wing and squadron that deploy to ships and bases throughout the world. "I have the utmost confidence in the performance of each maintenance department within this Air Wing. Maintenance managers, mechanics and technicians have enthusiastically met the challenge and executed the assigned task," said Air Wing Captain James Nichols, Commander of the Tactical Support Wing. "The outstanding professionalism displayed during the past year enabled the TSW to meet all operational requirements. I applaud your contributions to the Air Wing and the United States Navy." In 2001-2003, 2005-2007 and 2009-2011, SAS won the award at the VFC-13 Squadron based in Fallon, Nev. This is the second time since 2008 that the SAS Key West support team has received the award. Recipients of the Golden Wrench are permitted to paint the award icon on the side of squadron aircraft.

the only good thing about this shoe to me is that they can go/match with just about every outfit...still not my cup of tea though
March 21, 2012 BY John Kim / 53
Our third 'On The Fence' feature of March focuses on the Air Jordan X 'Stealth' – a remixed colorway that shuffles the color-palette of the Air Jordan X 'Steel' while using nubuck uppers on a white outsole. While this isn't the first time we've seen a predominantly black Air Jordan with grey and white hints (in fact, the Air Jordan VIII Black/Chrome is doing just fine in our Sneaker News March Madness Tournament), it's definitely something new to the Air Jordan X. Nubuck on an Air Jordan X has never been done, although we have seen patent leather on the Old Royals and even the one-piece leather joints on those unreleased samples of the mid-2000's. So while the Air Jordan X doesn't necessarily grab the old-time factor of the Air Jordan X as it dabbles with colorways and materials that we are unfamiliar with, does that make these a 'pass'? Or is this fresh take on the rejuvenated Air Jordan X too irresistible? Let us know what side of the fence you fall on below and if you're already certain about your decision, grab one of the available pairs on eBay.

the only good thing about this shoe to me is that they can go/match with just about every outfit...still not my cup of tea though
Leave em for the hypes.
pass...had the black/white in 05-06 don't like that white bottom at all
What is up with the people that write these articles?!?! Do they do any kind of fact checking before they post these reviews? The author says, "Nubuck on an Air Jordan X has never been done" Someone please tell me what material was used on the Shadow 10's? Nubuck, Durabuck or whatever you want to call it, has most definitely been done on an Air Jordan 10 before...With that being said I will be picking these up on Saturday morning as I always do. Certain Jordans always take a little time to grow on you.
gonna have to see em in person. when i do ill prolly end up getting them.
I'm on the fence. They would be a nice replacement for my og dark shadow 10's. White laces may give them more pizazz.
fence my ass! im gettin mine ...early in the am too
I'm copin # hypebeastin LOL
I'm copin # hypebeastin
These are wack and if I'm ever in line for some half *** JB J's I'll shoot my self 2 times. In addition, can we c more pics of other shoes then showing J's like three times a week.
Passing Lik Peyton and Eli manning. Jus cuz u put a tag on a shoe DNT change the fact that it's not wat most ppl want
All the ppl passing on these just some broke ass niggas cuz u know if u had gwop you'd be on these. And if u still denying it go to rehab the first step is admitting it. bet you saving all your lil moneys for those over hyped playoffs huh
Chicago's are all u need unless they drop the ice blue
Pass.. happy wit my chicago 10s... jus sad dat their probably wont b anymoe 10 releasin fa awhile after these... dis yrs orion 7s
The first Jordan retro that will sit on the shelves, is actually a decent quality release.
The white bottoms did kill them for me... :(
i hope all yall pass so i can cop later. can neva get enuff black.
These will sellout anywayz, and I will be the first in line to buy
unfortunately i have to pass cus I found a pair of last shot 14s in hibbets the otha day and bought'em cus I missed them in december and had to havem and I only spent retail price...sorry black 10s
Passin I like my flip 3's better
They'd look coo with shorts. The white bottom kills it for me. At least with shorts you can see the inner lining that matches. I am a stickler for details. I'd buy these at the outlet.. but that is it!
easy cop for me. im a sucker for black sneakers.
I kind of liked them until I saw these on WDYWT. They looked turrible with jeans, turrible with shorts, just turrible.
I like them, but i would rather save my $160 on something else, maybe like the "Playoffs"
Pass it to the left hand side
Would have liked them better if it was leather
I'm passing, I have too many black shoes already
its okay
Maybe to kill roaches with . . .
Definite pass
E-z cop
they ok i guess i woudn't buy them i want the og steel 10 's with the toe cap.
easy pass for me.
It's missing something IMO , only reason why I am passing .
So now you're saying Nubuck and Durabuck are the same? You're probably the same person who throws his arms in the air in protest at the fact that Nubuck and Durabuck are not the same in regards to other Retro releases. And for the record, Nubuck and Durabuck are two different materials.
Why cant people jus pass on them cuz they aint feelin them u dirtball... u probably aint got any doe to cop these either... u probably in line right now fa da ugly yeezy 2s while wearin those pop art son of mars since u wanna talk about hype... how bout u do wat u want wit yo lil pennies & we will do wat we want wit OUR money.. and if u still think we are all broke, how bout u buy a pair to every1 dat is passin on these & we will b all happy... if not, shut da FUUUUUUUUCK UUUUP & worry bout ur own money flow which sounds lil to none
I think powder blue would be better
ohh u happy with your 10's hahaha fool admit it if you had the money you would of bought all 3. my point proved by ur own post fool
shut up smh
Same here. I was set to get them and then started seeing picks on foot. Turned me off. Who knows though I might change my mind again.
A. Can. Of. Raid. Would. Be. Much. Cheaper
Durabuck is suede & nubuck fused
I have to agree the playoffs are over hyped, but on the good side if you cop two pair like I did in a few years these will be pretty rare. I said it before and ill say it again. The thing with these are they are not as flashy. And since they are suede the cant be rocked everyday with little maintenance. So I understand why people don't want them plus they bought like 3 pair before these so i know pockets are hurting. I'm glad I got my two. White and black look right on me, I don't need the flashy colors.
hahahaha you sound madd why u madd for hahahaha. is it because u got no gwop. hahaha
LOL tellim!
why would i buy jordans or any kicks fa dat matter if i dont want them u fuuuuckin moron... jus keep.standin in line fa da ugly ass yeezys dat u campin out months fa... u dirtball.... da last pair of.jordans u bought was probably da orion 7s... fuuuuckin laaaaame
You missed a period after cheaper....
Man yo punctuation ain't shit, cuz
Jus stick to those fake jordans u get frum china exports as usual lol

Comparison to the 2011 Macbook Pro 13",
This review is from: Apple MacBook Air MC965LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM, 128GB Solid-State Hard Drive, Mac) (OLD VERSION) (Personal Computers)
*2012 Pro and Air models are available but the designs remain the same meaning the physical aspects covered below are the same as well.
The primary features of the 2012 13" MacBook Air are:
- Ivy Bridge processor + HD 4000 graphics (60% better performance)
- 720p webcam
- 2x SSD read speeds. Write speeds didn't change.
- $100 price drop
I've owned the machine for 10 months now and have simplified the review for your convenience.
Things I like:
+ Light weight; 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg). You can easily hold it with one hand - the MBP 13" is noticeably heavier at 4.5 lbs.
+ Solid build quality like the MBPs. Chassis is rock solid, no keyboard flex, screen housing is rigid with minor flex in the middle.
+ Better ergonomics than the MBPs; the palm rest edges don't dig into your wrists like the edges on the MBPs do.
+ Same fluid multitouch trackpad and the backlit keyboard makes a return.
+ The screen is a pleasure to use with it's high resolution (1440 x 900) and semi-gloss finish.
There is no glass cover so there will be dramatically less reflections compared to the screen of the MBPs
I personally chose the Air over the Pro because of reduced glare.
+ 18 second boot ups and 3 second shut downs. Resumes from sleep within 3 seconds.
+ The two USB 2.0 ports are on opposite sides of the laptop (less clutter than MBP)
+ Speakers are surprisingly loud; they can fill up a small room.
+ Runs extremely cool and it's so quiet that you'll wonder if the fan is running at all.
I can definitely feel heat ~ 87 degrees F on the MPB 13's underside after 6 hours of use
where as the MBA 13's underside stayed relatively cooler.
+ Runs Windows 7 just as cool and quietly. (I installed Windows 7 via flash drive)
+ Performance is almost identical to the MBP 13" 2011 on everyday tasks because the Core i5
CPU can turbo boost to 2.7 GHz and the SSD allows for instant application launching.
+ Gaming: it has the same Intel HD Graphics 3000 as the MBP 13" 2011. I was able to run
Starcraft II smoothly at low settings on native resolution. Medium settings also ran nicely but
you get less FPS during large battles. League of Legends ran smoothly at medium settings
30 FPS flat) on native resolution.
Things I don't like:
- *IMPORTANT* Wifi drops - have been less frequent in the wake of more updates from Apple.
- The keyboard is shallower and has less travel than the MBP keyboards (you'll get used to it
within a few days)
- The screen has less color gamut than the MBP 13's screen. This screen covers only 46% of
sRGB color spectrum where as the MBP 13's screen covers 77%. For image editing,
I would use an external monitor.
- The vertical viewing angles aren't so great. One minute tilt of the screen causes colors to shift
dramatically (for example: a purple color can change from lavender to light blue as you tilt
the screen backward or forward). Again, I would use an external monitor for tasks in
which accurate colors are mission critical. For everyday use it's not noticeable and is
actually easier on the eyes than the glare-prone screens of the MBPs.
- Not all models come with the same SSD. There are 2 variations; a Samsung SSD and a
Toshiba SSD. The Samsung SSD significantly outperforms the Toshiba SSD in
benchmarks (check the AnandTech review)
To check what SSD you have, click on the Apple logo -> About this Mac ->
more info/system report -> then look on the left hand side and click on "Serial- ATA".
If your SSD's serial number starts with "SM" it's a Samsung and a "TS" means it's a
- I personally get 5 hours of battery life max on a single charge while surfing with 10+ tabs open on safari; I got
~7 hours doing the same tasks on the MPB 13 2011. My activities included watching
YouTube videos, viewing flash content on tech and news sites, reading/writing email,
and using AIM.
- No FaceTime HD Camera (720p) as on the MPBs. The quality difference is, unfortunately,
very noticeable.
- The integrated microphone is located on the side of the laptop instead of on top of the keyboard
as on the MBP. During Skype calls, my buddies told me that my voice sounded muffled
when using the Air. Using a headset with a mic, I was able to improve the sound quality.
- The base of the machine developed a creaking noise within the first week of use. I suspect this to be
caused by uneven tension in the screws.
- after 5 months of, a white cluster of stuck pixels developed in the bottom left corner of the screen.
The machine has been handled with care so it's not accidental damage.
Conclusion: Which one should you get?
As a college student, I would recommend the Macbook Pro 13". The Air is more than capable of being a primary machine because
of it's superb performance and overall very good screen. For everyday tasks, it should be snappy and an ease to use.
However, students will get a $100 discount on the Pro while the Air only provides a $50 discount. This means that there is a price
difference of $150 for students. The storage space on the Air is imited to 128GB or 256GB while the Pro comes standard with 500GB.
Plus, you can always add a SSD to the Pro later on. The Pro will be the better choice for creative students because it's screen has more color
gamut than the Air's. Lastly, you are getting a full voltage processor which can make a differencein video encoding or other CPU intensive tasks.
If you are not a student:
If you value the extra ports (Ethernet, Firewire, optical drive), a high gamut screen (although more reflective), a 720p webcam
(it's a lot better), and the ability to upgradelater down the line - go for the Pro.
If you prioritize portability (light weight), higher screen resolution, fast boot ups/shut downs, and less reflections - go for the Air.
In everyday performance the Air feels faster when booting up and launching applications because of its SSD. In CPU intensive tasks,
the Pro will have a slight edge but not much. (the two CPUs are actually pretty neck to neck on GeekBench benchmarks). They both
have the same graphics chip but note that the Pro will get better battery life (1-2 hours more) than the Air because the Pro has a bigger
capacity battery (63.5 watt-hours vs. 50 watt-hours)
Unfortunately, my unit is affected with a wifi drop problem. I don't know if you will encounter the same issue but if you buy an Air from
an Apple Store, make sure to test the wifi out by using it on multiple networks. If you encounter any erratic wifi drops within
the first 14 days - demand a refund or an exchange.
Update - December 27th, 2011
After installing the 10.7.2 and a firmware update, the wifi connections in my dorm room became more reliable.
However, after taking it home I experienced drops as before on the home network. I DOUBT it's a problem with my
router because ALL other connected devices work fine. The 2011 MBP 13" I previously owned worked flawlessly on my network.
This is most likely a problem with the Air's drivers. 5 months after product launch, I don't believe Apple
has acknowledged the issue or either chose to IGNORE it as other users on the official forums continue to
have similar complaints even to this day.
Hardware wise, the casing held up well except for a scratch on the side. The lid is frighteningly thin and I've read
reports of the screen's fragile nature - cracking at the slightest bump by another object. I would handle with care.
Want to know something funny? With the machine off, I can see through the Apple logo on the lid if there's light
behind it - it's that thin.
Software wise, sometimes the machine would run hot with fans blazing full throttle when watching HD YouTube videos
and would remain that way even though I close everything. Very odd. A quick reboot solves the problem.
A creaking sound developed within a week of purchase. When I lift the machine up, press on the palm rest or type on it
there would be a creaking noise produced. I suspected the screws of the bottom to be loose so I decided to tighten them.
Note that you'll have to order a pentalobe screwdriver to do this - the screws aren't the typical type.
January 9th, 2011
A cluster of 4-5 stuck pixels developed so I went to get a screen replacement. The Apple genius confirmed it was
4-5 pixels which qualified me for a screen replacement. Service was prompt and I got the machine the next day.
However, the new screen had 2 clearly visible dead pixels in the center of the screen. I tried using it for a few days
but they were an absolute distraction.
Dissatisfied, I took it back to another genius only to be met with rude service. I stated that the dead pixels hindered
functionality as they were visual distractions. He snidely responded with, "Where? I don't even see them" and remained
adamant about not replacing it because I didn't qualify for the "minimum of 5 dead pixels for a replacement" policy.
It was an unpleasant experience to say the least and didn't help.

I've learned to live with the two dead pixels on the screen and Apple has released an update (10.7.3) to address the
wireless card. I've noticed that with Bluetooth off, the connections are pretty stable around campus and at home.
I've not yet tested this with Bluetooth - it makes me curious because people on the official forums report wifi drops when
enabling Bluetooth. Anyway, After 7 months of ownership I would say most of the initial bugs have been remedied and
the Air is a pleasure to use. However, I speculate that the Pro and Air lineup will be updated to Ivy Bridge in the summer
(along with the rumored redesign of the Pros). Buy now if you need it but if you can - waiting might be better.

I've had my new MBA not automatically jump on a known network when I go back someplace (e.g. Starbucks) but it's not an 'always' occurrence. Hell, it happens at my house on my home router sometimes. Not a problem for me yet but definitely annoying. Thanks for bringing it up - I will be watching the clock to see if I need to return for another unit, etc. closer to 30 days.

I'll take a visit to the Apple Store tomorrow and will keep an eye out for any possible solutions. Thanks for posting as I know I'm not the only one. I'll keep you posted. Also, it's a 14 days return policy, not 30 days :(

"- The advertised instant resume feature is overblown. The MPB 13 2011 resumes from sleep just as fast."
That's referring to after being in a "deep sleep" which is over 1 hour of being in sleep, it resumes almost instantly after this. Normal macs do it as well, but not after hours.

Thanks for the clarification, did you get an Air too?

I thought the air had a higher screen resolution ( 900 vs 800) for the Air over the pro?
In reply to an earlier post on Aug 5, 2011 8:47:30 AM PDT
yes that is correct, the Air has 1440x900 resolution.

Den says:
1) Apple released an OS X update today that's supposed to address the Wi-Fi problem
2) The comment about SDXC cards not working is apparently incorrect. I've found a number of references to SDXC cards being compatible with the Air. It must have been an issue specific to your card or Air.

K. Benson says:
Good review. Just one note, the MacBook Air DOES support SDXC cards. It is listed on their support site as having one and I have used a 64GB Lexar SDXC card with no issues.
In reply to an earlier post on Aug 18, 2011 9:48:47 PM PDT
Thanks Den and Mr. Benson. I have revised the review based on your info. That's a good thing to know.
Have you experienced any wifi instability?

JB says:
The Air is the only device that works right on my network. It worlds better than for my iPad PS3 and PC. I have used it on several networks. You can have the same issues on both routers if it is a conflict with another device. Manually set your router frequency channel and check for updates many routers do a very poor job of dealing with crouded areas. You may need to set the IP address of the other devices manually also.
You really should delete the comment about flash readers it is inaccurate it is the same one as on the pro and very fast.

So this week I'm going to short myself of 30 mins of cardio today in the efforts to get back on a more "normal" schedule for myself. Granted, I was already way over cardio time for this past week so I don't feel too bad about it :) I have a very sore right calf and can really feel a pull coming up my achilles (sp) tendon. Now, I KNOW that this is not good. The idea of running on a leg that has any kind of pulling feeling is totally turns me off and I would rather pay special mind to my food than possibly put me out of running commission for a long while. So I am passing on the running for today.
Contrary to my last post, I'm going back to my Wednesday workouts because I really, really like having Sundays totally off. I am working 2 jobs right now so Sunday is my only day off and today it wasnt even off...I had to work until noon.
So with my change back I am once again back to MWF Strength and M-Sa with Cardios.
I think that I kind of made up for my lack of running today by my workout yesterday. I pushed myself hard yesterday and ran 1 mile at 12 min/mile pace and then pushed even harder and finished with a half mile at an 11 min/mile. Grand total: 1.5 miles and a cool down in 20 mins. GO ME! THEN, I did a Tae Bo advanced tape (45 mins) and then the Strength training workout...I was so dead but felt so good.
Now I am relaxing, have a hot rice bag taped to my aching leg, took some Advil and am feeling great. Hopefully my new shoes will be here tomorrow along with the new DVD's so A) I will have a new workout to try and B) I will have fully supportive, un broken down shoes!

According to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site — owned by the richest Web site Google — will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages.
For a site that generates as much online traffic as YouTube, it would seem a no-brainer that profit is streaming in.
But according to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site — owned by the richest Web site Google — will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages.
YouTube sells ads on less than 3 percent of the Web pages that could carry commercial messages, analyst Spencer Wang wrote Friday in a note to clients. To boost that percentage, Google needs to standardize ad formats and better demonstrate that ads on YouTube help sell products, he wrote.
Weakness at YouTube led Wang to cut his 2009 profit estimate for Google to $4.68 a share from $4.83, according to the report.

Google stock has fallen more than a third from its 52-week high last May, hurt by slowing growth in the online-ad market and by the decline in the broader stock market.
"Despite the growth of YouTube's user base, there is little evidence to suggest Google has been able to materially monetize this usage," Wang wrote. "In light of the current ad recession, experimental budgets are being trimmed."
YouTube's sales will rise about 20 percent to $240.9 million this year, Wang estimated.
The company may spend $360.4 million for bandwidth to distribute its video, and $252.9 million to pay content owners for the rights to show their material, he wrote.
Despite the report, Google shares rose $7.28 to close at $369.78 on Friday. They have jumped 20 percent this year.
Aaron Zamost, a Google spokesman, declined to comment. Wang couldn't be reached for comment.
Separately, a Google spokesman also said the company does not "comment on rumor or speculation" about conflicting reports Friday about Google's growing interest in acquiring or partnering with Twitter, another wildly popular Internet service with questionable ad potential that enables users to post brief, spontaneous messages.
The Silicon Valley Web site TechCrunch reported Friday morning that Google may be negotiating to acquire Twitter.
But Twitter co-founder Biz Stone responded on his own Web site, writing, "Our goal is to build a profitable, independent company and we're just getting started. … It should come as no surprise that Twitter engages in discussions with other companies regularly and on a variety of subjects."

A very good season came to an end on Nov. 6 when the Hamburg High girlsĺ field hockey team opened the PIAA State Class AAA Tournament against Crestwood. Ashleigh Thomas scored in the first half for Crestwood and that was all they would need to defeat Hamburg, 1-0.
The Hawks ended their season with an overall record of 18-7, after finishing second in Division 2 of the Berks League and fourth in the District 3-AAA Tournament. They made it to the Berks semifinals before losing to Twin Valley, 2-1.
ôThe key to our success this season was a strong defense (the Hawks allowed just 14 goals the entire season),ö said Hamburg Head Coach Jen DeNault. ôOur offensive passing game really helped us move the ball down the field.
ôAmber Dietrich and Karlie Heistand controlled the middle of the field and the midfield support kept the ball on the offense. But the main component was the team chemistry. The girlsĺ got along so well and it really showed when they played. The are great kids and they were a pleasure to coach.ö
Hamburg and Crestwood each had seven shots in the state opener, as Nikkole James made six saves in goal for the Lady Hawks.
