Wait on the Macbook Air

Macbook Air

The Macbook Air is now available through Apple’s website and I have to admit that it does look sleek. The problem I have with the laptop (referred to as the ‘MBA’ by Mac lovers) is that it isn’t meant for everyday laptop users.

The $1800 stock MBA unit comes with a 1.6 GHz processor, 2 GBs of RAM, built in Bluetooth, backlit keyboard, and built in 802.11n wireless connectivity which is just over the minimum for what someone would need in a laptop nowadays. It’s also very small; just over 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep, is less than 1 inch closed, and weighs only 3 pounds. It even has an estimated battery life of 5 hours with the wireless connectivity enabled. All of this sounds great right?

Viva Jamaica!

Recently my fiance and I took a trip with her family to Jamaica. We were there for a week and stayed at the Holiday Inn Montego Bay resort and BOY did we have a lot of fun!

The Holiday Inn Montego Bay is an All Inclusive hotel. This means that all of the food, drinks, and liquor are included in the cost of the stay. Basically the hotel is a cruise on land with shows, activities, games, and just about everything else to keep a person occupied during their stay.

Here’s a map of the campus, along with a breakdown of the different things to do:
