Flash Slashes MacBook Air Battery Life by
One-Third
Electronista says Apple's decision to remove Flash from the default
configuration of a new MacBook Air and future Macs may have had as much
to do with battery life as version updating, testing discovered. New
Ars Technica benchmark tests reveal that the 11" model gets an
above-spec six hours of battery life with the default no-Flash install
and several websites open - but just four with those same websites and
the latest version of Flash installed.

Apple Preparing Fixes for MacBook Air Display
Bugs
The Boy Genius Report's Zach Epstein reports that early MacBook Air
adopters have taken to various forums as they voice complaints about
displays flickering or showing horizontal lines of varying colors when
the computer wakes from sleep or after hot-plugging a display. Another
bug causes the screen to fade from light to dark repeatedly after
waking from sleep.
Apple's internal support system includes suggestions for interim
fixes in each of these cases, but no permanent fixes are available at
this time.
Epstein says Apple has stated internally that the aforementioned
issues have been isolated and will be addressed in an upcoming software
update.

Notebook Makers in No Rush to Fully Adopt USB
3.0
DigiTimes' Monica Chen and Joseph Tsai report that notebook vendors
believe the notebook industry will need at least another year before
fully advancing to USB 3.0, with cost and performance stability of
existing USB 3.0 chips - as well as market acceptance and increased
expenses from other key components - all being factors under evaluation
according to sources from notebook vendors.

Our Close Relationship with Laptops Isn't Without
Issues
PR: The benefits of being "plugged in" at all times is
starting to burn out some laptop users, literally, according to a study
by Wakefield Research for Logitech, which finds that laptop users make
significant sacrifices in exchange for mobility. Complaints are
widespread, ranging from scorching heat to sub-par sound.
"People love their laptops, and they're often willing to forgo
comfort in the pursuit of mobility," comments Logitech senior vice
president and general manager of the control devices business unit Rory
Dooley. "The irony is that they don't need to. There are accessories
that can vastly improve their overall laptop experience, no matter
where people want to use their laptop at their desk, on the couch, or
even on the go."
Laptop users told Wakefield researchers that they consistently face
issues with the heat generated from their computers, with nearly half
of respondents (47%) having been obliged to temporarily quit using
their laptop because the heat became unbearable, and a majority (62%)
agree that the bottom of their laptop gets so hot that they could fry
an egg on it. No doubt in the majority of cases a factual exaggeration,
but many laptop computers these days do get awfully hot, which is one
reason I persist in using a 10-year-old Pismo PowerBook (upgraded to G4
550 MHz) as my utility machine for editing and composing. The old Pismo
only gets warm to touch. Wakefield Research says that desperate
solutions people have tried include pillows (27%), towels (19%), and
magazines (15%), none of which adequately address the problem.
"Our lineup of lapdesks can help alleviate the issues people
experience with laptop heat," says Denis Pavillard, Logitech's vice
president of product marketing for laptop accessories. "Options such as
our Logitech Portable Lapdesk N315 are slim enough to take along in a
laptop bag, and others such as our Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 or the
Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550, can shield users from heat and deliver
rich, full stereo sound too.
Speaking of sound quality, most of the laptop users surveyed use
their machines primarily for entertainment, with just 4% using their
laptop exclusively at work. The trend of buying music and videos online
has rapidly emerged as a common practice and people often use their PCs
to listen to newly acquired digital files for the first time. However,
listening to digital files on the built-in speaker on a laptop almost
always leaves room for improvement, with sound quality oftentimes so
poor that nearly one in three laptop users surveyed report having
stopped watching a movie on their laptop because the speaker quality
was sub-par. In the Wakefield survey, more than half of all laptop
users reported that music sounds better on a record player (52%) than
on their laptop's speakers. These numbers show that people are well
aware that their laptop speakers are stuck in the past despite the fact
that the technology packed inside has become exponentially more
powerful.
"The speakers built into most laptops are tiny and can't always
reproduce powerful audio," comments Robert Jacobson, director of
product marketing for PC speakers at Logitech. "Whether you're an MP3
junkie or a movie lover, Logitech offers laptop speakers that make it
easy to connect, turn the sound up and lose yourself in the things you
love. There's no reason that you can't have quality audio while you're
watching the newest Hollywood release on your laptop - there are
solutions abound to upgrade inadequate audio performance anywhere you
take your laptop.
The Logitech Laptop Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research
between August 26th and August 30th, 2010. For this research, 594
interviews were fielded among nationally representative Americans aged
18 and older who own or regularly use a laptop computer, using an email
invitation and an online survey. Quotas were set to ensure reliable and
accurate representation of the total U.S. population ages 18 and
older.
Results of any survey sample are subject to sampling variation. For
this sample, the chances are 95 in 100 that the survey result does not
vary by more than 4.0 percentage points (plus or minus) from the result
that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all
persons in the universe represented by the sample.

MacBook Air Tops Consumer Reports Ratings
Macworld's Jason Snell notes that while Consumer Reports may not
like the iPhone 4 much, "it loves loves loves the MacBook Air."
Jason reports that with a score of 67, the 11" MacBook Air received
a 67 rating (out of 100), putting it in the Very Good range and making
it hit the top-performer of the two 11" laptops CR tested in the
category, while the 13"
MacBook Air received a 78 rating (out of 100) and placed first in a
much longer list of 13" laptops.

13" Late 2010 MacBook Air: 'Quite Remarkable'
The Register's system reviews are always a thorough treatment and a
good read. On the new 13" MacBook Air, The Reg's Bob Dormon says that
in trying to marry concepts in both the Mac and the iPad, Apple took
great pains to point out that touch devices work well as a pad (be it a
trackpad or bearing down on a touchscreen) but not on a vertical
computer display. Thus the new MacBook Air gets the same sized glass
trackpad as the MacBook Pro range.
He also notes that the portability of the MacBook Air has to be
experienced to be fully appreciated - quite a contrast with his
17" MacBook
Pro - but notes that both the keyboard and the trackpad are the
same size, there were no awkward compromises in usability, and
traveling with the Air in a backpack was barely noticeable. As for the
"instant on" experience, Dormon says Apple has pretty much succeeded,
and it's hard not to be impressed with cold startup time recorded
consistently in the low teens and averaging about 14 seconds. He also
reports that in normal use, the MacBook Air was completely silent and
at most became warm, rather than hot, while battery runtime appeared to
live up to the manufacturer's claims.
Even though the 13" Air's 1.86 GHz processor speed sounds ho-hum,
the machine is "very snappy". One deficiency is the lack of built-in
ethernet, and you'll find the speed of the Airs startup time and near
instant-on from sleep to be life-enhancing, albeit at a price.

11" MacBook Air: What a Netbook Should Be
TechRepublic's Jason Hiner maintains that the 11" MacBook Air has
broken new ground, calling it "the Mercedes Benz of netbooks" - but
with one major flaw.
Hiner praises the Air's full-size keyboard and relatively powerful
(especially compared to Atom-powered PC netbooks) Core 2 Duo power,
noting that the the MacBook Air's performance is surprisingly strong -
indeed faster than many full-sized laptops mostly due to the fact that
it uses flash storage integrated directly into the motherboard rather
than a conventional laptop hard drive.
Hiner also notes that while the Air is amazingly thin and light, it
still maintains high build-quality and sturdy feeling as Apple's
industrial-strength MacBook Pro line.
So what is the flaw? Price.
The base MacBook Air will cost you a thousand dollars, while the one
with the bigger SSD and the faster processor is $1,200. Hiner says he
doesn't know too many people (or IT departments) that spend more than
$1,000 on a laptop any more, and business users will need to make sure
that all of the software they use for their everyday tasks will work
with a Mac - or alternatively end up having to use Windows with
virtualization software or Boot Camp, which will add at least another
$300 or so in software licenses to the cost of an already expensive
laptop.

11" MacBook Air: Do the Upgrades Justify Their
Cost?
AnandTech's Anand Lal Shimpi says that while the 11" MacBook Air
represents the pinnacle of laptop portability - delivering the weight
and form factor of a netbook but with much better performance than an
Intel Atom netbook CPU - he found his typical workflow running too slow
on the base 1.4 GHz MacBook Air system with 2 GB of RAM.
Apple offers two performance upgrades for the 11" Air: expansion to
4 GB of memory from the standard of 2 GB and an upmarket 11"
$1,199 Air with a 128 GB SSD (twice the base machine's 64 GB) and an
optional 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for $100 more, which adds up to a $400
price premium over the standard 11-incher.
Is it worth the extra money?
Lal Shimpi investigates and determines that the answer is yes
only if you think a 15% performance improvement (plus doubled drive
capacity) is worth a 40% higher purchase price. In his opinion, there's
almost no way to rationally justify the higher cost, especially since
Apple will most likely have a faster version available within 12 to 18
months, possibly at an even cheaper price point.
He points out as well that the 13" MacBook Air remains substantially
faster than even a fully-loaded 11-incher.

Air: Do the 1.6 GHz and 4 GB Upgrades Justify the Extra Cost?
When Is a 1.4 GHz Mac Faster Than a 2.66 GHz
Mac?
OWC Blogger Grant says that Apple's newest revision of the MacBook
Air has a secret weapon packed into its tiny little frame - rather than
the poky 4200 rpm hard drive the original revision MacBook Air used,
the new models sport the latest buzz-inducing hardware in high-speed
data storage, a solid-state drive (SSD).
Consequently, he reports, "If you put a stock 1.4 GHz MacBook Air
(2010) up against a stock 2.66 GHz MacBook Pro 13
(2010), you would find that the Air can write a 500 MB file up to
1.2x faster than the MacBook Pro. Unzipping a 1.0 GB file is up to 1.2x
faster on the Air too. The Air is faster despite a 1.26 GHz processor
speed difference!!! That's some SSD power."
This phenomenon is due to the SSD drive's prodigious speed, and
adding an SSD can significantly improve performance for any
disk-intensive activity on any computer. Grant suggests that what makes
the MacBook Air particularly interesting is that Apple seems to be
leveraging SSDs as a way to improve performance while keeping processor
speed (and, as a result, the heat generated - see Wakefield Research/Logitech report) down.
What really caught Grant's eye, however, is something many would
overlook: the MacBook Air's SSD has a transfer speed rated at up to 213
MB/s, while OWC's Mercury Extreme SSDs have a transfer speed reaching
285 MB/s. Thus, by simply upgrading your Mac with one of OWC's SSDs,
you can improve your existing computer's performance significantly, and
OWC conducted did a few tests just to determine how big a gain is
possible.
In summary, in the 45-step Photoshop Action test resulted in speeds
twice as fast as with the stock hard drive. And even if you don't use
Photoshop regularly, you can realize a performance boost any time you
access data on your drive. For a frame of reference, standard 5400 RPM
hard drives found in most Apple laptops have a peak data transfer rate
of about 80 MB/s, while the OWC Mercury Extreme SSDs max out around 280
MB/s - some three-and-a-half times faster. The Mercury Extreme SSD is
able to write files to random blocks 38x faster than the stock hard
drive and read random files a whopping 47x faster.
The takeaway is that by simply adding an OWC Mercury Extreme SSD to
your Mac, you can enhance performance dramatically, and the older the
Mac, the more dramatic the gain will be.

17" MacBook Pro: 'There's a Reason Why It Commands
Such a Price'
The Register's Shaun Dormon notes that while glossy screens and
unibody construction are now a familiar sight, Apple does offer several
build-to-order tweaks that aren't likely to appear on the showroom
floor, including an antiglare screen and a choice between a 2.66 GHz or
2.8 GHz Core i7 CPU.
The Reg's review unit is a 17" MacBook Pro with both the antiglare
screen and the entry-level Core i7 2.66 GHz Core i7 BTO option,
4 GB of 1067 MHz DDR 3 memory, and a 500 GB 5400 rpm Hitachi
Travelstar hard drive, as well as an ExpressCard 34 card slot, which
comes in handy to address Apple's current lack of support for USB 3.0
(see LaCie Releases Free USB 3.0
Driver for OS X 10.4 and Later in this week's Mac News Review).

Toshiba Introduces SSD Modules with Capacities Up
to 256 GB
PR: Toshiba Corp. and Toshiba America Electronic Components,
have announced the Blade X-gale SSD series, a new SSD form factor with
thickness of 2.2mm - 42% thinner than the typical mSATA SSD form
factor. Ideally suited for integration into space-sensitive products,
including tablet PCs, laptops, mini-mobile and netbook PCs, Toshiba's
latest SSD offering helps these devices achieve a super-slim profile,
the MacBook Air being a prima facie example.
"Delivering a product that enables
superior user experience in a smaller footprint is the ultimate goal,"
noted Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. Memory Business Unit
vice president Scott Nelson, "The density of MLC NAND enables the
creation of smaller form factor high density storage solutions, and
Toshiba, as the technology leader for NAND storage solutions, will
continue to innovate in this space."
As mobile devices get smaller and lighter, yet even more feature
packed than ever, the SSDs inside them must become even smaller, and
thinner. Toshiba's new 64 GB and 128 GB Blade X-gale SSDs are the
thinnest available within the company's comprehensive portfolio of SSD
solutions, and Toshiba's advanced wiring technology assures optimized
wiring layouts and data transfer rates in this new form factor.
Toshiba's base design technology also minimizes board warpage during
thinning, and 256 GB capacity can be achieved when mounted on both
sides, the largest density in the industry for small type SSD modules.
Toshiba also offers designers a choice of mSATA and Half-Slim SSD
modules in capacities up to 128 GB.
"Until recently, storage designers looking for high capacity storage
had accommodated the size of HDD into their designs," says Nelson. "Up
to this point, SSD designs also followed the basic design of small form
factor HDD - which does not fully leverage the capabilities of high
density NAND technology. Toshiba's module-based SSDs break with this
approach, giving hardware designers greater freedom and flexibility in
enabling their product design."
Editor's note: While Toshiba isn't saying so, these new drives
appear to be the same ultra-thin SSD used in Apple's MacBook Air,
reportedly with the same model numbers and storage capacities of 64 GB,
128 GB, and 256 GB, and with a maximum sequential read speed of 220
MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 180 MB/s. cm
