Qui si pensa che il metodo scientifico sia la base del progresso umano; che il relativismo scientifico sia la base della scienza moderna; e che Darwin sia un grande.

The new MacBook Air

Some small notes after using the new MacBook Air (11'', 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD):
1. it is extremely silent, the fan of the other MacBook beside it souns like a phon
2. the SSD is really fast in all I/O operations
3. the processor has enough power for all normal user applications (Office, photo, video); i didnt test it under intensive load (e.g. CAD)
4. the battery lasts really lots of hours, definitively more than the 5 declared
5. the stereo sound speakers are a positive surprise and has a wonderful sound
6. it weights nothing; the impression is that it is lighter than the iPad
7. keyboard, trackpad and their feedback are very precise
8. the display is very bright. I keep it at 3/4 and is better than my old MacBook
9. boot duration after having installed everything: 17 sec. Restart after sleep: 0 sec.
Simply a great hardware device!
