Recent online moncler outlet,We've definitely been curious concerning the distinction sticking an SSD would make in the MacBook Air's otherwise average efficiency and battery life, and it looks like the answer is truly a resounding meh. The crew at Ars Technica ran an SSD-equipped Air by way of a battery of tests, and found that whilst the elevated random disk read / write speeds and slightly quicker processor led to a minor overall speedup and much much less pinwheeling, the considerably lower sequential read/ write speeds with the SSD produced things essentially a wash. What's worse, battery life -- precisely exactly where the SSD ought to have shone -- was decidedly mediocre. Ars was able to coax the SSD model in to lasting 29 minutes longer than the HDD version they tested, but on typical the SSD-equipped MBA did not have the juice to last any longer than the HDD model, getting to about two hours and 31 minutes prior to petering out. All stated, Ars says the extra $1300 for the SSD MacBook Air just is not worth it -- but c'mon, you understand that's not stopping the people who are buying Airs inside the initial location.[Via Digg];Where to buy moncler boots.
