First Macbook Air Experience...

I have been quietly using the new MacBook Air for the last 3 days. I haven’t written about it until now, because, frankly I have been in love with it that I didn't find time to write about it. Using it for 8–12 hours a day over the last few days, refreshing my memory on all the fancy shortcuts, and primarily playing around with LION. I can honestly say it is the best computer I have ever owned.

I am impressed by this model’s size and style, I couldn’t imagine it replacing my other laptops. I purchased the 13″ Air with 128GB flash storage, the 1.7GHz i5, and 4GBs of RAM, and this configuration seems already faster than my other laptops.

Here’s what I love about the Air:

It’s incredibly light and thin. It weighs less than 3 pounds and is only .68 inch thick. The battery lasts a long time. Apple says “up to 7 hours.” In my experience it is 6–8 hours, depending on what I am doing. I guess I no longer have to take an airline power cord, except for international flights. It is really fast. This surprised me. Though the processor is only rated at 1.7GHz, the Air feels much faster. This is probably due to the flash drive, which makes programs and files load faster.

It boots in less than 45 seconds. If the computer is completely off, from the time I press the on switch to the time I get the login screen is 15 seconds. After entering my password, everything is loaded and ready to go in another 30 seconds. The other thing I love is the backlit keyboard. This is really nice in low-light situations like an airplane at night.

If you are in the market for a new laptop, I recommend taking a look at the Air, especially if you have been considering a product from APPLE. If i can afford a Mac hereafter, I can’t imagine going back to a bigger machine. :)

Who am I?

This I wonder every time when friends/family ask me for guidance for their US admissions. I think I know quite well as to what one must expect from Universities in the US, their fee structures, opportunities to get funding, so on and so forth. I am glad to help out people, but by the end of day, I ask myself the question -- is my guidance correct, are they heading in the right direction based on what I suggest? Will get to know the answers to these questions soon. I also plan to start a blog on Admissions in US. Any suggestions or volunteers to help me out here? Any help there would be greatly appreciated.

Power of pictures...

I usually like to write about my adventures, but due to the lack of time... my San Juan trip will speak for itself via pictures...
