The 300 presents a luxury big-car design and style at an affordable price. The car retains its Audi-like appearance and presence, but features prices starting around $30,000. The lineup of powerful engines and available all-wheel drive mean the 300 also has performance credibility to match its style. Inside, a comprehensive list of standard equipment as well as safety technology means the 300 competes above its class in both features and price.
Compare the 2015 Chrysler 300 against similar models
The Chrysler 300 gets a fairly major update for 2015. Both the interior and the exterior of the car have been refreshed. A new grill and front fascia are the most immediately recognizable changes, but new wheels have also been added along with a few other minor cosmetic enhancements. Inside, a new steering wheel greets the driver along with a 7-inch full color driver information display.
On the technology front, the Chrysler 300 improves with the addition of a "Sport" button to tighten things up on twisty roads. Improved functionality from Chrysler's Uconnect system is also new for 2015, with roadside assistance, theft alarm notification and an improved navigation system.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission

The Chrysler 300 offers the boldest styling in the segment, and for 2015 it gets even bolder. Chrysler's full-size flagship sedan has been redesigned front and rear and features a larger, more imposing front grille, while inside is an improved interior.
The front end of the 2015 Chrysler 300 looks more aggressive but also less gaudy than before, with thinner, more subtle chrome detailing, giving it a more sophisticated, upscale look. A big grille has been a signature design cue since the introduction of the Chrysler 300 in 1955.
Inside, the 2015 Chrysler 300 gets its best interior yet, with a new steering wheel, a new color driver's display, an updated version of Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system, as well as many attractive interior finishes and materials. We think it's one of the nicest cabins in the class. Designers describe the Chrysler 300 interior as full of contrasts between old-world, handcrafted touches and new, modern cues. Seats are comfortable and roomy, and feel more lounge-like than those in competing vehicles.
Back-seat passengers have plenty of leg- and headroom, on par with the class. Two USB ports in the rear of the center console let rear passengers plug in their phones and other devices. Cargo space for the Chrysler 300 remains at 16.3 cubic feet, less than both the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus.
Engines carry over unchanged from the previous model. The standard engine is a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, or 292 hp and 264 lb.-ft. in the sportier Chrysler 300S. The standard V6 is perfectly capable, with plenty of power on tap in most driving situations. An optional 5.7-liter V8 Hemi, available on rear-wheel-drive models in nearly every trim puts out 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque. The V8 is more powerful and better sounding than the V6, and it's especially fun in the 300S model.
Every 2015 Chrysler 300 comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is now controlled from the center console by a rotary knob instead of the traditional gear shifter used on the 2014 model. The knob is easy to use and opens up more space in the cabin, creating an airy feeling between driver and passenger. 2015 Chrysler 300S and Platinum models get steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Fuel economy for the 2015 Chrysler 300 is good for a car of its size. Rear-wheel-drive V6 models achieve an EPA-estimated 19/31 mpg City/Highway, while all-wheel-drive V6 models are rated at 18/27 mpg. V8-powered models don't fare nearly as well, with an EPA rating of 16/25 mpg City/Highway.
The Chrysler 300 is a large car, and as such isn't exactly light on its feet. But because of its rear-wheel-drive platform, it's more capable and handles demanding roads better than some of its competitors. A new sport mode on Platinum and V8-powered models further sharpens performance and handling; drivers choose between normal, comfort, and sport settings, which adjust steering, throttle and shift points. In sport mode, we found the Chrysler 300 felt more agile on tight, twisty roads.
Competitors to the 2015 Chrysler 300 include other full-size sedans including the Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon. Those interested in the top-of-the-line Platinum trim might also consider sportier and similarly priced (yet smaller) Cadillac CTS.
The 2015 Chrysler 300 is available in four trims: 300 Limited, 300C, 300S, 300C Platinum. The standard engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. An optional 5.7-liter V8 is available with rear-wheel drive only. All models get an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Chrysler 300 Limited ($31,395) comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, leather trim, power windows/locks/mirrors, power 8-way driver and passenger seats with power lumbar, heated front seats, keyless entry, tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel with multifunction controls, charcoal wood trim, cruise control, 8.4-inch touch screen display with the Uconnect interface, Bluetooth phone connectivity and streaming audio, six-speaker audio system with satellite radio capability, front USB port, auxiliary audio jack, two rear USB ports (charge only), 60/40-split folding rear seats, automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED tail lights and 17-inch aluminum wheels with all-season performance tires. AWD models get standard 19-inch wheels.
300S ($34,895) gets a 300-hp version of the V6 engine with cold-aid induction, sport-tuned suspension and sport tuned-exhaust plus remote start, unique interior trim, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, backup camera, a front overhead console with lamp and HomeLink universal receiver, upgraded 10-speaker Beats audio system with subwoofer, unique exterior styling with black chrome accents, LED fog lamps and 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels.
300C ($37,895) gets heated and ventilated 12-way power front seats, heated steering wheel, a dual-pane sunroof, olive ash burl wood trim, additional interior lighting, navigation with real-time traffic, a six-speaker Alpine premium audio system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, auto-dimming driver's side exterior mirror with memory function and 18-inch polished aluminum wheels.
300C Platinum ($42,395) adds a hand-sanded, natural matte wood trim, leather armrests with seamed stitching, heated/cooled cupholders, upgraded leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dash and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels.
Many of the Platinum features can be added as options to the Limited and 300C models. Other options include a Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers and subwoofer.
Safety equipment on all models includes advanced multistage front driver and passenger air bags, front and rear side curtain airbags, inflatable driver's knee airbag, front seat-mounted supplemental side air bags, ABS, brake assist, electronic stability control and traction control.
Optional safety packages include the SafetyTec 1, which adds front and rear parking sensors, full-speed forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control with full stop feature, blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection (300C and Platinum). The SafetyTec 2 package is available on all trims except the Limited and includes advanced brake assist, rain-sensitive windshield wipers, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, auto high-beam control, full-speed forward collision mitigation and adaptive cruise control with full stop feature.
The 2015 Chrysler 300 looks cleaner and more modern compared with the 2014 model, with revised styling that brings it more in line with the smaller Chrysler 200 for increased visual brand continuity. Most noticeably, the imposing, mesh front grille is 33 percent larger than the outgoing model and features the Chrysler wing logo floating in the middle. It's flanked by new headlamps that include LED daytime running lights. The redesigned front-end also gets new LED fog lamps. The sportier S model gets a black chrome mesh grille, as well as black headlamp surrounds.
The side view of the Chrysler 300 hasn't changed much for 2015. Large, highly sculpted wheel arches anchor each end of the car, with a high character line that runs straight from the front wheel over the door handles and into the tail lights. Wheel sizes and designs vary depending on trim level and equipment, ranging from 18-inch alloys to 20-inch black aluminum wheels. The 300S is distinguished by its aggressive side sills.
From the rear, the Chrysler 300 looks wide and substantial. For 2015, new LED tail lamps, which resemble those on the Chrysler 200, feature a bright ring around the perimeter. The rear of the 300 has a slightly lifted look. 300S V8 models get a decklid spoiler. New twin integrated exhaust tips have a more horizontal shape for 2015, replacing the round tips used on the 2014 model.
The interior of the 2015 Chrysler 300 is the best yet. Interior designers say they wanted the cabin to be a place of contrasts, between old-world styling and the latest technology. They seemed to have achieved their aim, with a cabin that uses classic and tasteful color combinations, large color displays and many connectivity features.
For 2015, Chrysler 300 comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission controlled by a rotary knob instead of the traditional gear shifter used on the 2014 model. The knob is easy to use and opens up more space in the cabin, creating an airy feeling between driver and passenger. 2015 Chrysler 300S and Platinum models get steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Fit, finish and materials are some of the best in the class, beating the Ford Taurus, which, generally speaking, has grown long in the tooth. We find the Chrysler 300's design even more tasteful than that of the Chevrolet Impala, which is greatly improved over its previous generation. Chrysler 300 Limited models get upscale features like dual-zone climate control, leather trim and a glossy wood trim finish.
300C Platinum models are the most luxurious, with gorgeous, hand-sanded matte wood accents and leather trim crafted by Poltrona Frau, the Italian furniture company that also upholsters exotic cars, including the latest Porsche Panamera Exclusive edition.
300S interiors get unique seats and interior trim, though we found them more spartan and noticeably less luxurious than their C and Platinum counterparts.
All Chrysler 300 models feature a color touch screen for the center stack that uses Chrysler's Uconnect interface. We find the Chrysler Uconnect system more user-friendly than My Ford Touch, though we prefer the menus and layout of Chevrolet MyLink, which uses capacitive touch and includes a locking storage compartment behind the screen. To keep with the old-world tradition, the Chrysler 300 features an analog clock atop its display.
On the instrument cluster, a new digital TFT display sits between the analog speedometer and tachometer, showing speed, navigation instructions, vehicle information and more. While the display is large and easy to read, the trip odometer and speed displays are on separate screens, preventing the driver from seeing both at once.
Seats are roomy, comfortable and well cushioned, good for freeway cruising and road trips. Heated, power front seats are standard, and ventilated front seats come on 300C and Platinum models.
Rear seats have plenty of leg- and headroom, on-par with the class. Two USB ports in the rear of the center console let rear passengers charge their phones and other devices. Cargo space for the Chrysler 300 measures 16.3 cubic feet, less than both the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus, though the standard 60/40-split folding rear seats make it possible to carry more if needed.
The Chrysler 300 is a large car so it isn't exactly light on its feet. But because of its rear-wheel-drive platform, it's more capable and handles demanding roads better than some of its competitors.
The 3.6-liter V6 is perfectly capable for most driving situations. Acceleration is smooth and linear, and rarely sounds like it's working hard.
The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is another animal altogether, and while it offers more power and thrust, we could feel the big motor's added weight on winding roads.
The 8-speed automatic transmission is smooth and nearly imperceptible, except when a surge of power is needed for passing at highway speeds or climbing a steep hill. Most of the time, the transmission cruises in a high gear for fuel economy, though you'll get some extra oomph out of sport mode on cars so equipped by downshifting. For those who want to click through the gears, 300S and Platinum trims get steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The electric power steering feels smooth and comfortable, and appropriate for a car of this size. A new sport mode on Platinum and V8-powered models helps even further with performance and handling. Drivers can choose between normal, comfort and sport settings, which adjusts steering, throttle and shift points. In sport mode, we found the Chrysler 300 felt more agile on tight, twisty turns.
Active safety features on the 2015 Chrysler 300 are competitive with most luxury brands, and include adaptive cruise control, which can bring the car to a full stop, and can even automatically get the car moving again in stop-and-go traffic (provided the car is stopped for less than two seconds at a time). Forward collision warning will fully stop the car at speeds of less than 20 mph, and lane departure warning with lane keep assist will steer the car back into its lane if the driver accidentally veers. Sensitivity for all of these features can be adjusted; they can also be turned off completely.
We took a 2015 Ford Taurus on a competitive drive, and found it lacking in nearly every way compared to the Chrysler 300. In comparison, the steering and handling felt sloppy, and although we had good power from Ford's V6, it felt uninspired. In a subsequent drive in the Chevrolet Impala, which we also like, we found it felt more like a big car, with not quite as much pep off the line as the Chrysler 300's V6.
Fuel economy for the 2015 Chrysler 300 is good for a car of its size. Rear-wheel-drive V6 models achieve an EPA-estimated 19/31 mpg City/Highway, while all-wheel-drive V6 models are rated at 18/27 mpg. Understandably, V8-powered models don't fare nearly as well, with an EPA rating of 16/25 mpg City/Highway.
The 2015 Chrysler 300 is a top choice in the large sedan segment with bold styling, ample power, a luxurious cabin and available all-wheel-drive.
New Car Test Drive correspondent Laura Burstein filed this report after driving 2015 Chrysler 300 models near Austin, Texas.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Unless they protect the bike lane it will quickly become a hogwash of double parked cars and trucks.
nothinlikeabklyngirl said:
And I don't think having two lanes contributes to speeding on Franklin any more than it does on similar two-lane streets in CH such as Nostrand or Brooklyn. But the road's just not wide enough to safely accommodate two lanes of moving cars given the bicycle traffic Franklin now sees.
@whynot_31 Washington and bedford have wider lanes and bike lanes so I think they can handle the additional traffic just fine.
homeowner said:
Mike, I think you're wrong on this. The vehicle traffic on Franklin (Wythe) from Flushing to DeKalb is noticablly slower than say 10 years ago. Between the Hasidic schools and the reduced car lanes, that stretch can take anywhere from 10-12 minutes when it used to be a straight 5-7 minute ride.
homeowner said:
I think Flushing to DeKalb, and Atlantic to EP should move at different rates.
whynot_31 said:
While I am not a fan a pedestrians dying, it is not merely Homeowner who would be saving seconds. It is the thousands of drivers and passengers who use the road everyday.
nothinlikeabklyngirl said:
I don't have any empirical data about Barclays either, but I can tell you from lots of first-person anecdotal evidence that some of that freaking out was warranted. Traffic on Flatbush and Atlantic are definitely affected on event days, as is parking in the area. And with Pacific being shut off, the traffic on Bergen between Carlton and Flatbush can get ridiculous. I've missed the light at Flatbush as many as four times sitting in traffic.Plus Barclays is about to shut down one lane of Atlantic for almost two years: http://atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2014/06/before-community-meeting-tuesday-esd.html.
Of course.While I am not a fan a pedestrians dying, it is not merely Homeowner who would be saving seconds. It is the thousands of drivers and passengers who use the road everyday.A few seconds.Heavy, heavy meh.

Soon there will be no more dangerous passes and tailgating when I ride down Franklin. Who is willing to bet cold hard cash that the bike lane won't become a mess of illegal parking, delivery trucks and pedestrians walking down it?

DOT reverts to 2 traffic lanes for the last two blocks for "storage" reasons - ie. to allow enough cars to build up for the key light at the Franklin/EP junction
ehgee said:
Same. I always used to divert to Grand Ave. when coming home from the north— now I just cruise up Franklin.

18 February 2011
Posted in Science Park
National Geographic's Little Kids website has found a fun and messy experiment to teach your little kid about the liquid and solid phases of matter. Before conducting the experiment read over all the directions with your child and have them form a hypothesis, what they think will happen. Encourage their curiosity by having them feel all the components of the experiment, water and cornstarch, before making their hypothesis. Once they have decided on their hypothesis conduct the experiment.
Here's what you'll need for this cool experiment:
- Newspapers (This can get very messy!)
- Mixing Bowl
- 16 ounces of Cornstarch
- Measuring Cups
- Water
- Blue Food Coloring (or whichever color your child prefers)
Experiment Procedures:
- Pour the 16 ounces of cornstarch into the mixing bowl.
- Use the measuring cups to add 1 ½ cups of water to the cornstarch.
- Add about 15 drops of food coloring to the mix.
- Here is the fun part! Use your hands to mix the experiment ingredients.
Now they you've made your blue goo ask your child some questions as they play with it. Was their hypothesis correct? Or was it incorrect? How does the blue goo feel? Does it feel more like the water or the cornstarch? Point out to your child that if you squeeze the blue goo in your hand it feels like a solid but if you open your hand it spreads out like a liquid. The blue goo can act as both a liquid and a solid!

The search for the next head coach of the University of Tennessee football team continues after Louisville's Charlie Strong rejected the Vols.
UT continues scouring the coaching landscape for the man who can get the Vols back on the road to gridiron glory like the program saw under Hall of Fame coach Phillip Fulmer. A sentiment gaining momentum with many fans is to resume the search for the next Phillip Fulmer by interviewing Phillip Fulmer.
Fans for Fulmer posted a frenzy of messages online throughout Thursday. Common hash-tags on Twitter include #bringbackphil and #hirefulmer. The tweets in support of Fulmer have come from former players such as Jacques McClendon and current offensive lineman Alan Posie.
Fulmer's daughter, Allison Fulmer, also chimed in on the Vols' vacancy by tweeting, "I know someone who would take it."
Another thing in working in Fulmer's favor is the triumphant return of another Hall of Fame coach. Bill Snyder stepped down as head coach of Kansas State a few years ago and returned to become this year's Big 12 coach of the year. The Wildcats finished this season one win shy of a trip to the BCS Championship Game.
UT professor Dr. Fritz Polite teaches sports management and serves on the executive committee of the faculty senate. Polite's son played football for Snyder at Kansas State. Polite said he believes Fulmer's body of work would at least warrant an interview.
"My son played at Kansas State and developed a close relationship with Coach Snyder. I understand the situation is different at the University of Tennessee for a few reasons. First, Snyder was not fired at Kansas State like Fulmer was here. Then you also consider Snyder is the only coach to ever have success at K-State, so bringing him back there is not the same situation as Tennessee where you have previous legendary coaches like Neyland," said Polite. "But if you look at Fulmer's body of work and the success he had at the University of Tennessee, I just find it confusing why he wouldn't be at least considered. The criteria mentioned for candidates were things like he has to have head coaching experience, he [Fulmer] has that. From a scholarly data standpoint, if you found another candidate who had Fulmer's winning percentage, who had won a national championship, who was in the College Football Hall of Fame, you have to think that person would get a look."
Polite acknowledged the numbers work against Fulmer in terms of the lull in winning percentages at the end of his stint at UT.
Even if Fulmer gains the support of the average UT fan, the question remains whether those boosters who sit in the not-so-cheap seats would sign off on a future with Fulmer.
"Mike Hamilton [UT former athletic director] was not on an island by himself when he fired Phillip Fulmer in 2008. He had the support of all the money-people, all the prominent boosters," said Low. "For them to bring Phillip Fulmer back now, you know those people would be admitting publicly, 'well, you know what, we made a mistake.' I am not sure they're ever going to do that."
Low said Fulmer would also be a potentially divisive choice for a fractured fan base.
"He would certainly be polarizing, but at this point you also consider anyone they hire is going to be polarizing. The cat is out of the bag that that UT has not gotten its first choice. There is a feeling among some people who say Tennessee has botched this thing," said Low. "More than anything, I think what is working against Fulmer does not have anything to do with him personally. It is just rare for any program or any sport to bring back a former coach and try to recreate history."
Low said there is no indication that UT would possibly contact Fulmer about the job.
"I've learned to never say never in this business, but I seriously doubt Phillip will be considered."
However, Low also said there is no doubt Fulmer would answer the call.
"He was here for more than 30 years at Tennessee. He absolutely would love to come back, if nothing else to help his alma mater. What has happened to Tennessee has hurt Phillip Fulmer as much as anyone. If this [coaching search] drags on into next week, you're going to have more people jumping on that Phillip Fulmer bandwagon," said Low.
WBIR contacted Phillip Fulmer's assistant on Thursday afternoon and directly asked if the former coach has any active interest in pursuing the UT job. As of Thursday night, Fulmer was yet to respond to our inquiry.
In a Tuesday interview on SiriusXM College Sports Nation, Fulmer indirectly expressed interest in the job.
"If I have the opportunity to coach at a very special place, and Tennessee is a very special place, then absolutely I would take advantage of it. I'd probably, really quickly, put all of my staff back together, or most of them, and get back to work," said Fulmer.

Volleyball hosts Lipscomb and Belmont this weekend in key A-Sun matches
Requires Adobe Flash
Thursday, October 07, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.
(Oct. 7, 2010) -
Following an impressive win to open Atlantic Sun play against Campbell, the ETSU volleyball team returns home this weekend for two key A-Sun contests against Lipscomb and Belmont inside Brooks Gym. The Bucs will take on Lipscomb on Friday at 7 p.m., and follow with Belmont at 2 p.m. Saturday.
The Bucs enter the weekend with a 15-5 overall record that includes a 1-0 mark in the Atlantic Sun. Lipscomb comes in with a 13-5 overall mark and a 2-0 league record, while Belmont stands at 7-12 overall and 1-1 in the A-Sun. Fans who are unable to attend the matches can follow all the action online at
ETSU continues to be at the top or near the top of the league in several statistical categories. The Bucs have proven to be a force on the defensive end as they continue to lead the league in opponent's hitting percentage. They are only allowing opponents to hit at a .141 clip. Additionally, the Bucs lead the league in team blocks with 192.0 (2.63 bps) on the season. They have 65 more blocks than Lipscomb, the next best blocking team in the league. The Bucs are 13-1 this season when out-blocking their opponent.
They also rank in the top five of the A-Sun in hitting percentage (.193), assists (11.47 aps), kills (12.41 kps), and service aces (1.49 aps).
Individually, senior middle blocker
Alysa Long
(Romulus, Mich.) continues to be a force at the net as she leads the league in blocks (93), while also ranking amongst the nation's leaders in blocking. Long also ranks second in the league in hitting percentage at an impressive .343 clip. Junior
Jamie Stancliff
(Advance, N.C.) also continues to have a stellar campaign as she ranks second in the league just behind Long in blocks (80).

Kiley Tamblyn
(Torrance, Calif.) continues to shine in her first season with the Bucs. She currently ranks second in the A-Sun in digs at an impressive 4.16 digs per set.
Senior setter
Whitney Cogburn
(Kingsport, Tenn.) and freshman outside hitter
Megan Devine
(Kingsport, Tenn.) continue to lead the Bucs on the offensive end. Cogburn ranks fifth in the league in assists and seventh in service aces. Devine ranks seventh in kills and eighth in points.
The NCAA released its first RPI rankings on Monday with Lipscomb and ETSU pacing the A-Sun, placing just outside the top 100. Lipscomb comes in at 102 while ETSU falls just behind at 103.
Last season, despite not qualifying for the A-Sun Championship, ETSU proved to be Lipscomb's toughest challenge within the league, taking three sets off the eventual champions. In their meeting at Johnson City, the Lady Bisons needed five sets to thwart off the upset-minded Buccaneers. No other A-Sun foe took two sets from Lipscomb in a match last year. Lipscomb has won 30 of its last 31 A-Sun contests - 24 have ended in a Lady Bisons sweep.
Lipscomb opened up conference play by sweeping both Mercer and Kennesaw State, at home just last weekend.
The Bisons are led by two-time Atlantic Sun player of the year Alex Kelly. Kelly leads the league in kills (4.25 kps) and in points (4.97 pps), while also ranking fourth in hitting percentage (.325) and seventh in digs (3.70 dps).
Senior setter and preseason A-Sun player of the year Jake Pease quarterbacks the Lipscomb offense as she leads the league in assists at 11.35 per set.
Belmont enters the weekend having split their first two conference matches. The Bruins fell to Kennesaw State in their league opener before sweeping Mercer last Saturday.
The Bruins are led by senior Kayla Albritton as she ranks near the top of the league in several offensive categories. She ranks seventh in hitting percentage (.298), fourth in kills (3.45 kps), second in service aces (.43 aps), and third in points (4.28 pps). Megan Clements paces the Belmont defense as she records 3.63 digs per set.
The Bucs and Bruins split last season's series with each team winning on its home floor.
Fans that attend tomorrow night's contest against Lipscomb will have a chance to win two tickets to the NBA preseason game between the Atlanta Hawks and the New Orleans Hornets on October 16, inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. The tickets are valued at $60 each.
Also, youth volleyball players attending Saturday's contest against Belmont will be admitted free.

I thus decided to make an image then send it through email (one for attachment and the tricky one is that which I can preview within the mail message right away). I scanned the net and found some renders of Kakashi that I liked but I gave up immediately and did something else. However, I got time at night and rushed it. Honestly, I didn't put much thought in it but I'm amazed that I was able to complete and be satisfied at it. ^-^ Things I learned: Good detailed renders that are big lose their quality when transformed to smaller size so what I did is enlarge a 640 by 480 pic I shot to a wallpaper size (wherein the render fits). It is recognizable enough as a bg plus its blurry attribute helps emphasize the render. I also recycled the planet from my old XCF work and played with layer modes. I found out that white color and difference mode works like color invert. I added a red glow on his eye just for cool looks. I also darkened the bg... It looks like night time right? Seeing that the Gimp 2.8 stable version is available now in the Gimp.org site makes me feel excited. I will be looking forward to new tutorials from fellow Gimpers. After a long wait, the time has come comrades. Great work developers, contributors, translators, sponsors and moral supporters! ~up ;D ~up

|Lake Champlain Maritime Museum to Launch Replica 1776 Gunboat
The Philadelphia II Replica 1776 Gunboat
During the American Revolutionary War, Lake Champlain was the scene of much activity with the British moving soldiers and supplies southward from Canada to the fight in the Colonies. The Colonists thought it would be a good idea to stop them there and, as a result, there were some sea battles on Champlain as well as land battles at the British fort at Ticonderoga near the lake shore.
On the water, the rebels and the British used a variety of watercraft. The colonists employed the gunboat whose sole function was to be a platform for a cannon or two. These gunboats were simple affairs, just a bit more than a large raft and often built on the spot. A large, well armed ship could easily defeat one but when the gunboats were used in numbers and spread out, they could inflict serious damage on a larger and more powerful enemy ship.
Archaeologists and re-enactors from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will launch this weekend a full-sized replica 1776 gunboat at the Falls Basin in Vergennes. The ceremony begins at 11:00 Saturday the 25th and the public will be invited aboard until mid afternoon. At that time the gunboat will proceed along Otter Creek to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Burlington. There will be viewing opportunities along Otter Creek.
The gunboat, named the Philadelphia II, will take part in Sunday's Rabble in Arms event, a reenactment of American Revolutionary War times. The museum's gunboat will take part in naval maneuvers and gunnery exercises.

Apple really upped the ante with the latest 13-inch MacBook Air, slimming down its iconic design even more while adding a higher-res display and a lot more battery life. Just as important, the 13-inch Air ($1,299) integrates flash memory in a way that gives the machine an instant-on feel. Well, now there's a Windows laptop that's ready to take Apple's star ultraportable head on. The Samsung Series 9 ($1,649) features a super-sexy and sturdy aircraft-grade metal chassis, a more powerful processor, backlit keyboard, and gesture-tastic clickpad. Is this machine you've been dreaming of, or is Apple's slim marvel still the champ?
We've pitted the Air and the Series 9 against each other in a 13-round fight for the ages.
it's kinda sheepish how you guys continue to pit a Mac vs. a Window cuz to be frank it wouldn't matter which one is better, if you a windows you would go with Samsung 9, if you are a Mac you go with the MacBook Air still interesting though
And you guys just had to add some unnecessary categories and draw a couple of them to influence and bias the "Face-Off"…
But yea interesting.
I don't often comment on these sorts of articles, but this clearly mac apologist review has me rather annoyed.
While I completely agree with techy that the decision to purchase will be based more on the choice of OS, in what world is hdmi, usb 3 and (real) LAN not better than DP, and USB 2?
Also, when did software become a function of a review and if it is a valid (and not biased) criteria – the fact that it has (cough) itunes takes it into the lead? Seriously? And while we're on the topic of media software did you compare how each played back your favourite bluray via an external player?
On most other review sites, which are happy to provide the details of their batter life test, the Samsung beats the air easily. The screen on the Samsung is brighter, therefore turning them both to the same % (which is what I expect you did) is a flawed test.
I agree with your final conclusion that both are great units depending on what OS floats your boat but a published review like this should really display a lot less bias.
We include a section on software in all of our reviews, and here we feels it's particularly important given the price of these units. We did not test Blu-ray playback, though we did test HD video playback (see Graphics section).
We provide details of our battery life test. Sorry I didn't make that clear in this piece (there's a link in every full review we do. Here you go.) We did have both notebooks on the same percentage brightness, but that's the only way to be fair. We test all notebooks under the same conditions — if we didn't, it wouldn't be very scientific. If we tweaked it to different standards each time, then there would be a flaw.
HDMI vs DP is a toss-up, USB 3.0 is certainly better than 2.0. However, full vs. microSD slot, the full one has to win. We called a draw here because there are pluses and minuses on both sides. However, one of the reasons why we do these face-offs and have so many rounds is that many consumers weight categories differently. You feel that the HDMI and USB 3.0 trump the Air's ports, so for you the Series 9 is superior.
Which categories do you feel are unnecessary?
Thank you for your response re battery life tests, however I must disagree that it is fair to compare screens of dissimilar brightness at the same percent brightness.
We all know, screen brightness eats battery life, therefore, the only fair way to undertake these tests is by setting the screen at the same brightness (not the same % brightness).
In each case where this methodology is employed, the Samsung beats out the Air. As an example (there are others), over at CNet they use this criteria:
"We first set the brightness of each laptop screen to 60 to 70 nits (or 60cd/m² to 70cd/m²), using a Konica Minolta LS-100 luminance meter to calibrate laptop brightness. If a laptop supports autodim, we disable the feature in order to ensure that the laptop remains at the same brightness level thought testing."
And got this result:
"The 13-inch Series 9 achieved 5 hours and 22 minutes of battery life while the 13.3-inch Air scored 4 hours 58 minutes in battery life tests. Both models for their battery life tests were lefts alone to play movies for however long it took for the laptops to shut down from lack of power."
The results are similar on all reviews which employ this more scientific methodology.
I can also understand why you didn't test blu-ray playback…the AIR cannot play blu-rays…the Samsung on the other hand has software (free) that will allow you to…so is that +1 for software?
You are correct that I weigh usb3 and real LAN (as opposed to the usb lan at USB speeds available on the Air) far higher than a full SD slot vs a mini SD.
Once again, I am not objecting that they are both great well designed laptops and I completely understand that the decision will ultimately come down to the choice of OS. I also understand that in any review there is going to be some element of subjectivity and a difference between how individuals weight criteria, but a little less obvious bias would be in order.
Also, is it possible to test the battery life of the Macbook Air on windows? I know that it would be less because OS X is catered to improve battery life on Mac notebooks, but for a windows power user, I would like to know which would be the better choice, assuming that if I got the Air, I'd install windows on it?
You raise some interesting points about brightness. Thanks for that and we will be taking a harder look at our battery test. But you can be sure that no pro apple bias came into play here–or any of our reviews. The software section relates primarily to bundled software not the os but obviously having an app store to easily discover and install new programs helps. The bottom line is that the series 9 is not $350 better but we still recommend it as one of the better designed high performance ultraportables out there.
@Mark Spoonauer:i really hope there ll be no bias coming into reviewing a product and articles in laptopmag.
but i sure as hell feel there is a bit in this particular review as Seriously pointed out.how many would consider DP,usb2 and full SD card slot better against HDMI, usb3 and mini sd sold(that too considering ethernet adapter and HDMI adapter to buy separately which adds extra price for the air)
even battery life test is a bit flawed.
what about considering a category of upgrading a hardware in future.SSD and RAM can be upgraded in series 9 which cant be done on air.
to some extent the software category included isnt good enough .
i do understand diff people ll have diff opinions and priorities they want/need but try to make bias go completely away and btw i am avid reader of laptopmag and visit this site atleast twice daily
@tech guy
According to our Samsung contact, the Series 9 is not user upgradeable.
Also, as I pointed out above, some may like the Air's ports better. It depends on your wants/needs, which is why that category is a draw.
Are you sure about that some site mention Mac book air are not memory upgrade but only ssd if you want get down business solder smt chips, plus most Mac software quite expanse PC, is really hard to said, I'm sure they both has own advantage, only is matter of time.
Why is the boot time of the Air listed as much faster than the Samsung? When the first blog post here went up a few days back the Air booted three seconds slower than the Samsung. Engadget found the Air to boot five seconds slower than the Series 9. Both boot times for the Air were far longer than 15 seconds.
I have to agree with Seriously. The review was generally informative, mostly factual. But it just reeks of biasness.
Having used both machines, the conclusion sums it up. If you like Mac + ultra-poratable, Mac Air is truly for you. Else Windows users will clearly prefer the Series 9.
K.T just some advise, if you want want your reveiws to be regarded with respect, you have to work on your delivery. This types of review does leave a very unpleasant taste, unless read by someone who shares your exact same view. You are sure to find Mac lovers who would love your review, but even the rationale ones will find it hard to stomach.
If its any consolations, people are generally emotional (and not rational). So I suppose that could have been your intended audience.
Funny how no one is bringing up the $350 price delta. Are all the critics of this piece assuming that if you have a grand to spend it doesn't matter?
@ Mark
I think its because for most people looking to run Windows on a thin portable laptop, there isn't a price Delta.
By the time you have bought a Windows licence ($200) and parallels ($100) or VMware and configured another 2GB of ram ($100), the $350 difference is more than chewed up…and we haven't bought any dongles yet.
Add on top of that 3 years of Apple care ($250) vs Samsung's included 3 year international warranty and its actually cheaper.
Its not "funny" (as you say) that no one is bringing up the price delta…its logical that no one is because it doesn't exist for those that want to run Windows. Surely you have worked this out already?!
Like I've said all along and you want a lightweight, slim and good looking laptop – if you're Windows the Samsung is better, if you like OSx then go the air!
I've been shopping for a new windows laptop and my choices are dell, lenovo, sony, asus, msi etc. I've previously (and recently) owned a macbook pro running windows and it wasn't an experience I want to repeat. IMO the Samsung series 9 has more in common with the u36jc than it has with the Mac Air.
@ Mark Spoonauer and other Apple Fanboys (of which I am one too).
Let me hold your hand and walk you through why no one has mentioned the $350 price delta. The MBA retails for $1299.00. Now, add $100.00 to bring it from 2 GB to 4GB of RAM. Now, add an Apple extended warranty for an additional 2 years to bring it up to a total of 3 years (to match the Samsung) for $250.00. This brings the MBA to a total of $1649.00. You can purchase a Samsung Series 9 laptop for $1599.00 from Amazon.com.
Oh wait, I forgot a few things:
1. the Samsung has a back lit keyboard
2. the Samsung has a processor that is two generations ahead of the MBA's Core 2 Duo (the Core i5 allows for four simultaneous threads, not just two, and over-clocks based on processing demand up to 2.3 GHz–meanwhile, the Core 2 Duo in the configured MBA mentioned above is stuck at 1.86 GHz)
3. the Samsung has better wireless connectivity options: Bluetooth 3.0 and WiMax 4G connectivity (neither of which are on the MBA)
4. Duralumin is 2x stronger than aluminum (more expensive too)
5. the Samsung has a MATTE screen, not glossy (which has been a common complaint on Apple's screens) and has a much brighter screen which will save battery life (since it does not have to be set as high to match the MBA–unfortunately the review testing the battery life here is flawed in this respect)
If all this does not add more value than the MBA over and above the similarly configured system I mentioned above then you have confirmed that your opinion is biased and subjective.
A side note: I love Apple products. I have owned an iPhone 1, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 (including several iPods). Everyone in my family has one too. In this case, Samsung is clearly the winner for bringing the best ultra-portable to market. Who knows, in 6-10 months Apple will probably swing back with a hard punch when it refreshes its MBA line and it completely dominates the Samsung. But for now, the Samsung Series 9 is king.
@Tyler P
Just a note, the Series 9 doesn't have WiMax, even though the product page says so. We confirmed this with a Samsung rep.
No need for hand holding. I understand that when you configure the Series 9 similarly the price delta is erased. But people don't necessarily shop that way. It's like saying the Xoom is a good deal because you get 32GB of memory for the starting price vs. an upsell on the iPad 2. That's why Samsung is coming out with a tablet for $499 in June.
We pointed out that the Series 9 won the design category but the display category was a wash because the matte screen's advantage was cancelled out by the Air's high-res panel. Series 9 also won the keyboard category because its keyboad is backlit. Again, nothing biased going on here. If we didn't like the Series 9 we wouldn't give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
If you have the extra money to spend, I say get it if you're a Windows user. Full disclosure: that's the OS I use every day.
@Tyler P
Additionally, all of the points you made above I made in this story. Those points make the Samsung more attractive for you, but there are some great points on the MacBook side as well. What I see people complaining about here is that we didn't weight the rounds the way they would have. That's fine. After all, we hope to provide people with enough information so that they can make better decisions. After going through it, round by round, I am sure there are many consumers who will decide that certain categories (such as graphics or speakers) aren't as important to them as others (such as overall performance and a backlit keyboard). Personally, I like having a wider range of choices in terms of price and configuration (granted, there aren't very many Air choices, but there are some).
However, it occurs to me that that the bias people want me to have is anti-Apple, not a neutral view. If your assessment of the Series 9 vs Air above is considered "without bias" then you're under a false impression of what bias entails.
So we're complaining now?
I think not. Providing empirical evidence as to why your final statement "… but in the end the Air's lower price and longer endurance make it the champ." doesn't cut it, is not complaining.
It is also not asking you to be biased against apple. However, your software section shows a clear bias towards the apple ecosystem and ignores the potential software limitations of the OS.
If that isn't biased, then perhaps you are right and I have a false impression of what bias entails.
Have we forgotten a few things? For you cry-baby, whining, complaining, theiving, tools of microsof (note: not windows lovers,very different) How long would u suppose it takes for a windows machine to go sucky? I would give a year, probly cause the 15 viruses it got over that period have started to badly slow it down. And what about the amazing resale value of a mac? I still see 2k6 models selling for $6OO. So before u have petty arguments over oh so spiecel USB 3.O, think about what matters, hmm?
Oh, haha! I just got it, lol, note that this was posted on apirl 1st… Apirl fools day!! rofl microsoft tools' favorite day! why? cause we celebrate the biggest fools in existence! aka, microtools! u had me worried. Apple will pwn microsoft all day, every day, and twice on Sunday. Dont get me wrong, im fine with samsung, most of my stuff is smsng. but these arrogant microtools are on my nerves. There proudful,but do they have to be proudful of? Gettin there butt kicked by Apple? Thats why there tools!!
I confess I am not impressed with the software that comes on Windows by default (not counting the stuff Samsung provides). Windows Media Player is serviceable, but not as robust as iTunes. I have attempted to make videos with Windows Live Movie Maker several times and have always ended the project frustrated and dissatisfied. iMovie is no Final Cut, but it's good for making simple videos and is easy to learn. And as much as iPhoto annoys me, I'll take it over Photo Gallery any day. As a Windows user, I'm used to having to go out and find third-party programs for my media playing/sorting, movie making, and photo editing needs. But Mac users at least have that covered. I think that the Mac equivalents of these and other comparable default Windows apps are just better. Is that bias? I think it's experience.
I think the discussion here has been excellent and very thought-provoking. I appreciate the article/review, and the conversation that has ensued from its writing.
I agree with a lot of the author's conclusions and assessments. I do believe that one or two points should have gone in the direction of the Series 9 (which may be why many others have been vocal about their opinions as well) but I do agree that the author has been as unbiased as possible in this situation; we all have to confess that we each hold our own unique proclivities for certain opinions and/or interpretations.
What "Remeber?" has stated quite frankly detracts from this constructive conversation. "Remeber?", please keep your immature and illogical remarks out of this thread as it shows you have nothing intellectual to add. This is not a place to demonstrate your lack of grammatical talent or your childish remarks.
I appreciate the informative, factual content of the review, but I share the concerns of some that – at the very least – the conclusion is skewed unfairly in the MBA's favour. I think in large part this is down to the choice of the categories and the decision to attach an equal weight to each in totting up a final score. For example, i find it a little rediculous to infer that graphics performance and general cpu speed are equally important in a machine of this sort. Certainly in my experience, owners of ultra-portable, ultra-slimline notebooks didn't purchase them for their gaming credentials. I have long considered the inclusion of discrete graphics in units like this, which are certainly better than integrated alternatives, but still aren't anywhere near powerful enough to run modern games "well", somewhat pointless. I know this is a subjective issue, and will vary from user to user, but i think there is a rational case to be made that predominantly, in machines of this type, general productivity and performance is far more important than gaming performance. Thus, the Series 9's vastly superior processor outweights – by a large margin – the fact that it is somewhat weaker in GFX terms.
I take some commenters' points about connectivity too. The idea that proper ethernet and usb 3.0 are weighed equally with full-size sd support and hamstrung ethernet-over-usb is a stretch. A USB pen with an SD card slot is far less of a compromise than running ethernet at a fraction of it's intended speed over USB.
The criticism over lack of screen brightness calibration is something the reviewer should simply accept. An attempt was made to make the test fair, clearly, by matching percentage, so the reviewer accepts the general point that battery life tests should be made at equivalent brightness levels. It was simply not enough – it is an error to assume that brightness percentage relates to real-world brightness in the same way from machine to machine. Users don't choose their screen brightness based on a desired percentage; they choose brightness based on their impression of how bright the screen looks. Therefore, tests involving battery life should be made with the screens at the same real-world luminance level. The only way to achieve this (accurately) is through calibration.
Finally, Mark, this is a patently silly thing to say:
"I understand that when you configure the Series 9 similarly the price delta is erased. But people don't necessarily shop that way."
I'm afraid the vast majority of consumers looking to spend over $1000/£1000 on a notebook (or any computer for that matter) like to know whether they're getting value for money. In the modern day and age, the average consumer is perfectly well capable of understanding the significance of "this processor is two generations and about 90% faster than this processor" and "this computer has twice as much memory as this one". People can quantify the benefits such upgrades bring through their own computing experiences. Moreover, every single consumer in the world, expert or not, can understand the advantage of an extra years' warranty.
In other words: paying less and getting less does not count as a win over paying more and getting more.
This is relevant to me:
I bought my MacBook Air also for running Windows; it makes a better Windows machine than the other ultraportable Windows machines in many ways — and I get the bonus of trying out MacOS X, and learning to program for it in XCode, etc.
So it's no longer a simple as "If you run Windows, you get a PC, if you do Mac, you get a Mac" — because Mac's make great Windows machines nowadays, too… (and at the time of writing, Air is the best portable videogame PC that weighs less than 2.5 pounds too!)
Regarding the price delta, two points:
1. These are vanity pieces. The people that buy these want to look cool, they don't care too much what that costs them. As well, they like to brag/show-off, so most will have to upgrade the Macbook, or else it's too much of a delta in specs. Many will upgrade, and erase the price delta.
2. The Samsung will drop rapidly in price, where the Apple will be (artificially) price fixed. The delta won't last too long, even baring upgrades.
Well said Simon well said.
Actually there are people nowadays that want an ultraportable that also can serve as sub gaming machine, one of the main factor that i consider when purchasing a laptop is it's ability to play WoW at a reasonable frame rate. With this review i was better able to make a proper choice because it was one of the category that was listed. I love the fact that both are amazingly thin and light and have great battery life and amazing display but only the mac is capable enough to handle the games that i play.
Another plus point is the mini display port on the mac, it allows me to connect to me dell 3008 wfp 30 inch monitor via the mini-diplayport to dual link dvi cable. With this optional connector i can use my monitor at its full native 2560×1600. I can't do that with the samsung. [Yes WoW is very playable at that resolution. Did about avg 48 fps on a mix of low/fair/good settings set in 10 man raid. =)] Furthermore the mini-displayport has many different optional connectors that allows people to work with different equipment so i can understand why the author gave a draw rating on this category as both have really good points. Besides not everyone prizes an ethernet port, i don't need one as everywhere that i go there is wifi available but on the off occasion that i really need an ethernet port, there is a connector that i can purchase that allows me to connect that way though i can't see why i would need it since i can always tether from my iphone.
On the software category i must say it is so much easier to get things on the macbook air then a windows base ultraportable. I use to own a alienware m11x R1(has a displayport out), but as awesome as it is, it was so hard to get software on to it without a dvd drive. On the mac it is so easy because of the mac app store, i got angry birds, Sketchbook express and aperture 3 (So amazing what aperture 3 can do i love it) , loaded from the app store in mere mins and they work beautifully. Also the preloaded applications like the ilife 11 suite is really so much easier to use and so much more polish that what is offer on similarly priced windows ultraportable.
Another area that i would like to highlight is how the extra screen real estate is a real plus for anyone that has to work with photography, while brightness is important, the extra viewing area has a greater day to day value since it offers more room for us to work on. Also the macbook air is plenty bright and i have no issue with glare on this screen at all, i think apple did a really good job on this screen, in fact it is the best non matt screen i've seen and loads better then the one on my alienware m11x as well as my unibody macbook.
At the end of the day there are things that we feel are more important and there will be things that others view as more important, i am just happy that we have two great products that we can choose from. I have to say that the reasons people find this article bias is largely due to the fact that they view the extras on the samsung series 9 as important, but this may not be the case for everyone. While both are great ultraportables only the macbook air meets my requirement of being able to play WoW/SC2 and connecting at native resolution to my Dell 3008 wfp. These things may not be important to you but i am glad that the author considered them and have written a fantastic, unbiased and awesome review.
Regarding your last comment, I think this is the most informative and best review I have read so far. In fact, this is the first thing that I have read that actually has me considering a Mac product. Sure, I have the iPhone 3G and a host of little ipods but never have I considered actually buying a mac. I like the real world experience you gave of actually using the Mac for some period of time.
The only reason I have been looking at reviews and comparisons is because my wife "wants" a Mac and so far every review and comparison test I have read has helped support my No Mac policy; high price, limited variety of business software, you still have to by Office and Windows emulator anyway (I can get a licensed copy of Office for PC from work for free), and not least of all the proprietary nature of Apple.
I recently went to MacMall to price them out. Sure, the Air starts out at $1500 but by the time I'm done adding all the pre-installed software and upgraded hardware, it came out to 3 grand. Also, I get a choice of some 22 things I can "customize" my Air with , half of which I feel it needs to compete with the PC.
I went to NewEgg and found the Samsung for $1500. It already had the 4 GB of memory, the faster processor, Windows 7 and a three year warranty. The hard drive wasn't upgradeable from 128 to 256, I still need to by an external DVD drive, and some extra memory (microSD). I still need to buy some software, too. But here's the kicker: there must be 100,000 things I can by for my PC on this site. Sure, there are always problems to sort out, especially with anti-virus software. But I have 100,000 choices I can make. AND, it's backwards compatible with a lot of stuff I bought years ago. It's like the difference between open source and, well, MacOS.
Ok, back to what my wife really "needs". Internet marketing, presentations, document collaboration, training video production, internet conferencing, ease of travel. Arguably all done better by the Mac. However, also done very well by a PC these days. She also needs to be able to connect to her customers networks and use the software that they are using. Can a Mac do that? This is a real question because I don't really know. I've never seen anyone using a Mac for business before. Can the Windows Emulator do that? Can I go to a client, use the external CD drive and load whatever software they are using and run it on the Emulator? For me, that would be the real test.
And for my kids, I want to train them on whatever they are going to be using when they finally become employed (assuming they eventually do become employed). That is where every computer company should be looking. And that is why I am not getting them the easy to use, no problems Mac. And when they get to college, I want them writing documents like I am writing at work (assuming they actually go to college and I can actually afford to send them).
@Pro PC
Hi there, am really happy to be able to help answer your question, firstly you do not need an emulator for windows to run on mac hardware as there is an option called boot camp that allows you to natively boot into either MacOSx or Windows, you do need to purchase a copy of windows and install it on the Mac hardware. If you rather stay within MacOSx then you can also run windows virtually using an addition software called "parallel" you will still need a copy of windows for this "virtual windows" to work. i would highly recommend using windows 7 professional as it has more networking options that might be helpful since you wife might want to physically connect her mac up with her client's windows PC. Also window 7 drivers are provided. So by running windows on a mac hardware you can get both MacOSx as well as Windows7 operating system on her computer which means that there should not be any issue regardless of the software her clients are using.
Same thing for the kids, Mac hardware can run both MacOSx and Windows thereby giving them experience in both OSes.
Here is some simple advice while buying a mac, i hope it helps you out abit.
1). If price is important (and it should be, no reason in wasting money) always go for the base spec. Reason being that it gives the best price performance ratio and also has the best resale value in view of its purchase price for when you do want to sell it away when you upgrade.
2). When a company builds a specific laptop usually the baseline model with the slowest processor has a much lower chance of hitting the thermal envelope of the product. This is really important for a laptop/notebook class product as it's limited size constrains the amount of heat it is able to dissipate. The higher the processor speed, the faster it generate heat. This increase heat often causes the computer to "step down" it's performance. So the amount of speed difference between the higher end model compared to the baseline model is usually not as much as expected due to thermal throttling. As such performance to cost ratio is skewed ever further towards the baseline model. Heat also is important as it determines where we can use our laptop/notebook. e.g. on the lap in contrast to on a table. A laptop that heats up really fast and stays hot might not be ideal for using on the lap. Baseline model tend to stay cooler for a longer period in contrast to top of the line model.
3).SSDs really makes a huge difference. Hard disk have traditionally been a major bottleneck, also it has moving parts which on a mobile device is never a good thing. With SSDs we are really seeing a HUGE improvement in overall performance and with it greater peace of mind, knowing that the computer is not going to fail because of excessive movement. SSDs do degrade over time (really really slowly) but even when it does fail, at least you are still able to read from it. The macbook air is the first laptop that i have that comes with an SSDs and having use a hack load of computers to date, most of them top of the line custom desktop, nothing and i mean nothing feels quite as nippy as the macbook air, which i believe is due to the SSD. Think of it this way, if the CPU/GPU is in a sense the engine, you can think of the Hard disk/ SSD as the road it travels on. The fastest engine is not going to make a difference in a massive jam. The SSD is basically a wider and smoother road for (stored/to be used/to be store) data to travel on.
4). Don't buy into things that don't really make the end product better, a laptop with a super fast cpu but a really slow Hard Disk is not going to be better than a laptop with a moderately fast cpu with a fast SSD. Each product is only as good as it's main bottleneck regardless of the greatness of its other components. This is further complicated in a mobile device because things like robustness, heat dissipation, build-in input devices, build in screen size, mobile power consumption, screen quality, keyboard flex and a myriad of other things come into play. It is having components that work well and compliment each other that gives end users an amazing experience.
5).Try to buy at the start of a product cycle instead of at the end.
6).Look for a refurbishes unit on the mac store, it has the same one year warranty that you can extend to 3. It does NOT come with a nice box but its a whole lot cheaper. When buying a refurb please do check the spec carefully. The specs of pervious models can look very similar to the latest incarnation so please look through to ensure it is the model that you want.
7). Buy a product that fits your needs. No point in paying excess for a really mobile laptop that you leave on your desk all the time. In the same way, there is no point in buying the most costly powerful system if you really only do basic stuff on the computer.
The macbook air that i have which is the base macbook air (1.86 Ghz core2duo, nvidia 320m, 2Gb of ram, 128Gb SSD) will do all that your wife "needs" as long as she is not making her training videos in full HD. Also while the processor is able to handle video encoding the new sandy bridge processors are much more capable in this area. i would recommend that if you do buy a macbook air to upgrade the ram to 4Gb as it should give a nice boost in video editing, though i can't be entirely sure seeing how i am having amazing nippy performance with just 2Gb of ram. This macbook air is also many months into its product cycle and a refresh is due soon, you might want to wait and see if that might be a better option.
To end this i would like to let you know this macbook air is by far this best computing experience i have had on any platform. It really is a combination of components that really do blend together to create this amazing user experience that has totally floored all my expectations of computing. It is unbelievably good. To be honest i don't know if apple or any other company can come out with a product that beats the macbook air 2010 in terms of a complete user experience. It is sleek and sexy, nippy in performance, the tampered design with inclined keyboard is amazing to type on, this is my 3rd macbook and its the coolest( in terms of looks and heat) and quietest. It has the longest battery life for purely typing and reading. It is instant on. It is so so light. I could go on and on about it but i think you get the picture. Hope that helps.
Just a quick update in case anyone was wondering, the (Hard Disk/SSD) is the flash component that starts at 64Gb for the 11 inch and goes all the way up to 256Gb on the custom BTO 13 inch macbook air. It is redesign in such a way that instead of placing the whole SSD with casing in the macbook air, Apple has customize the flash memory chip into an amazingly small form factor so that it takes less space within the macbook air. For all intend and purpose it works like a SSD except in a smaller form factor to save on both size and weight.
To @ Pro PC
Hopefully what i type so far helps you out, no intend to sound smart, am really just a common normal everyday user and as such i am not experience enough to be really giving any sort of advice, just wanted to be helpful but if in anyway i sound arrogant on the topic, i apologize.
The problem with this comparison is that you are giving points to the mac for some of the benefits mac os brings (boot time, better battery life) without giving points for the windows benefits (wider range of software, better compatibility with work applications, better driver support with usb modems and some other devices). So that brings it to 9-9 with a more rounded comparison.
It is really difficult to compare because like most people say – if you like mac os you'll get a macbook air and wouldn't even look at the Samsung.
A better comparison would be to compare the mba running windows and the Samsung as this is the only real comparison. Give the mba an extra point for the added versatility of running a great second OS with better battery life, wake time etc and definitely wins the software category due to 2 OSes and start from there.
The pricing/config will probably go to Samsung (due to the included windows license, no need for parallels etc). The boot will probably now be a draw and Samsung will most likely win the battery life. This brings it to 9-8 to Samsung. So windows users will also probably pick the Samsung which highlights the total irrelevancy of a comparison!
Sounds right to me. Although both are great buys really.
Been using the new macbook air 2011 13″base and it is a much improved version of last year's iteration. I am loving it.
This review was of course based on the 2010 AIr, which was admittedly garbage. The 2011 Air blows past the Samsung in almost every way. But I wanted to point out one small fact.
For performance you used Bootcamp. That's fine. But there is NO WAY you used Bootcamp and got 6 hours of battery life. It's well documented that running Bootcamp can easily cut your battery life in half.
For me, samsung is the winner… I tried using both and personally, samsung series 9 was better. So i hope this will help you decide.
Thankyou all for your comments. Ive being planning to buy a laptop for myself and preferred the macbook air but someone told me samsung was better. So I decided to go online and after going through all your comments Im undecided now whether to buy the mac or samsung. But I would still prefer to have the macbook air.

NEW YORK — Mike Trout and Bryce Harper were teammates on the Scottsdale Scorpions last fall. The outfielders arrived in the major leagues on the same April day this year, both played in the All-Star game and they won Rookie of the Year awards a half-hour apart Monday, the vanguard of baseball's next generation.
The 21-year-old Trout was a unanimous pick as the youngest AL rookie winner, and the 20-year-old Harper edged Arizona pitcher Wade Miley 112 points to 105 to become the second-youngest winner of the NL honor.
"It's pretty neat," said Trout, the son of former Minnesota minor leaguer Jeff Trout.
For the first time, players learned the voting results when they were announced on television.
"My heart was beating a little bit," Harper said.
Trout, who turned 21 on Aug. 7, received all 28 first-place votes from the AL panel of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The Los Angeles Angels center fielder was the eighth unanimous AL pick and the first since Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria in 2008.
There could be more to come, too. Trout, who is the nephew of City of Poteau Water Department employee Charles Busonick and his wife, Sandra, is among five finalists for AL MVP and is considered the chief challenger to Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera for that award, which will be announced Thursday.

bought my husband the gift set for Christmas. I love the Paul Sebastian fragrance on him and he likes it too. Was amazed at the value! Saw similar sets at dept. store for $75. Could not believe the set was under $30 and then a coupon to boot. You have a very satisfied customer. I also got my mother in law Red Door by Elizabeth Arden at a fraction of what I would have paid elsewhere. Next I'm shopping for me.. Virginia

I have been wearing Paul Sebastian for 20+ years and have more compliments from this cologne than any other.

This has been my signature fragrance for many years. I've been given others from time to time but I always come back to PS...I usually buy multiple bottles at one time just so I never run out. I've worked in the public for decades and I'm constantly asked about my scent...by both men and women. Paul Sebastian knocked it out of the park with this perfect cologne.

How many times have they asked you "Can you change this $1 bill into a $100 bill?" Well, NOW YOU CAN! And it's so simple!
Appear to change a regular dollar bill into a ten...a twenty...a one hundred dollar bill! Borrow a real bill from a spectator, place it into the tray, pull the roller over it- and the dollar visibly changes to a different bill!
Or you can appear to PRINT real money from paper. Put a plain piece of dollar-sized paper on the tray, roll over it, and the paper visibly changes into a dollar bill!
This is an amazing illusion, so real that they will be convinced that you are making money magically. Of course, it's just that- it is an illusion, a MAGIC TRICK. You are NOT REALLY printing money or changing bills into larger denomination bills- it is A TRICK. And sorry- money is not included!
How about this: Change their dollar into a dollar with a message on it! Great for "Happy Birthday" or "Congratulations" wishes. Excellent for handing out your "business card" written on a dollar (or a fake dollar will do!). Terrific idea for promotional messages.

21 Products found in Goodwood
Goodwood is situated just outside Chichester, only 60 miles from London, 30 miles from Brighton and Southampton. It is linked via the A286 to the A3 and A27 motorways and can be found off New Road on Claypit Lane. If in doubt follow signs for Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Goodwood Circuit,
Claypit Lane,
West Sussex.
Sat Nav? Goodwood's post code is PO18 0PH.
There is a regular service from London Victoria to Chichester (1 hour, 40 minutes), plus a coastal service from Brighton and Portsmouth.
Goodwood is a very big name in horse racing, but it's also a name that carries considerable weight in motor racing too. The racing track is 2.4 miles long but Goodwood's heritage within British motor racing is considerably longer; it was the first permanent circuit to re-open after the Second World War and is held with great affection within the sport.
Goodwood racing circuit has not held a large race meeting since 1966 because the track owners would not upgrade the track to fall in line with advancing motoring technology. The track is on the estate of a country house and the track itself forms a ring around Chichester/Goodwood Airport. Goodwood runs small racing events throughout the year.
Today many people are attracted to Goodwood for its driving experiences and other events. The Goodwood Festival of Speed has become a showcase for British vintage driving and motorsport, and has become a huge 4 day event. If you'd like a taste of historic racing, why not check out our Classic car driving experiences at Goodwood. You can try some classic rides, like an E-Type Jaguar or Ferrari 308QV. Check our range of driving experiences for details, or watch our video.
If you like that touch of British racing cool but would prefer a car you've actually seen working on the road, there are also a number of mini driving experiences at Goodwood. You will be shown around the track in a souped-up Mini Cooper (the new BMW design) before taking the reins for yourself. Tackle a Great British racing circuit with a Great British car (albeit one with a German engine).
