"When it comes to laptops and desktops, nothing matters to me more than reliability ."
Paul Venezia, Infoworld, regularly reports his experiences working across all operatings systems, all network topologies, firewalls, network attached storage, Microsoft, Linux, OS X, Cisco, and open source tools.
Besides being a work a day ubergeek, he can string together a compelling story evangelizing better ways to use modern technology.
What does Paul Venezia carry with him and why?
Venezia sees virtually every form of technology, every day, all day long. Since 2008, "I've used some model of MacBook Air for probably 85 percent of my computing needs: email, browsing, more xterms than you can shake a stick at, writing, reading, creating, and consuming. With the exception of my review of the iPad (which was written on the iPad), every word I've written for publication in the past 2.5 years has been written on a MacBook Air. I've logged over 100,000 miles with them and carried them all over the globe.
They've never let me down."
The latest Macbook Air with solid state drive increases reliability, performance, and extends run times up to 7 hours. Like the iPad, they are instant on, flip it open to get to work. Very cool AND very reliable.
Macbook Air at Apple, might made light..
Combine with a Mac Mini Server in a workgroup to get 200 DVD's worth of the most flexible input and output options ever .
