Glamour Magazine Introduction

Glamour magazine is the handbag sized glamour magazine that, according to the publishers, "fits in your life as well as your handbag". This is an apt quote for Glamour magazine not just because it is small but also because it manages to be small while still containing a lot of good information and articles. Glamour magazine is a typical beauty and fashion magazine with some elements of celebrity gossip and celebrity news thrown in. The final result is a well-oiled, informative women's lifestyle magazine that really does fit in your life.

Women's Lifestyle Magazine Sections

As well as the expected sections such as features, fashion tips, beauty tips, celebrity news, and general glamour news the magazine partakes in a number of other notable activities throughout the year. Of particular note are the "Woman of the Year" awards that applauds and celebrates women that are constantly in the public eye. September sees the National Glamour week when Glamour magazine contains even more coupons and money off vouchers than in other issues.

Celebrity Gossip And Celebrity News

The celebrity gossip section is a peek inside the world of celebrity women. Want to know of the various glamorous events that are going on? More interested in who's reportedly seeing who? Then Glamour Magazine celebrity gossip stories are perfect. They are easy to read and often contain some good scoops accompanied by excellent photography work. You can literally pick up the magazine and the articles wherever you are and whenever you like.

The Glamour Awards

The Glamour Awards are voted for by the Glamour magazine readers and recognise the famous women that have appeared at their most glamorous whenever they are in the public eye. Similarly, there are sections of the fashion magazine that also look at the omnipresent badly dressed celebrities that seem to attend every function and grace every photographer's lens. It's good to see that they don't always get it right, after all.

The Dos And Don'ts Of Glamour And Beauty

The Dos And Don'ts section furthers this topic by giving you practical advice on the fashions and trends that are popular and those that should be completely avoided. Examples are always provided by using real life pictures of celebrities either looking good or looking bad.

Product Reviews And More

Of course, one of the more popular sections of Glamour magazine is the product reviews. Makeup, clothes, accessories, and shops are all covered in excellent detail and there are usually money off vouchers and coupons to accompany every issue. You can make sure that you're getting the best deal on the best product from the best shops around by using the Glamour buyer's guides and product reviews.

Glamour Magazine - The Small But Packed Women's Lifestyle Magazine

Glamour Magazine may be a small women's magazine in size but certainly not in stature or content. The magazine is literally packed full of entertaining pieces on celebrities, fashion, beauty, and the products available. It is small enough to fit in most handbags and because of the convenience coupled with informative content it is an extremely popular beauty magazine.

Hands-on with the MacBook Air

Other ultraportables should be ashamed.

By Mark Spoonauer

First Impressions

It’s really, really thin. Like nano thin. And yet the Macbook Air packs in a full size keyboard and one of the biggest and most versatile touchpads we’ve ever used. We spent a few minutes with the thinnest notebook on earth and came away mighty impressed with its design and snappy performance. You do make a few trade-offs for the size, but we imagine most prospective buyers won’t care.

The MacBook Air is Lighter Than

The aluminum body feels rock solid and yet super light. There’s a lot of computer inside this 3-pound chassis. And the keyboard has plenty of depth despite the system’s 0.76-inch profile.

Touch, Pinch, Flick, Then Go

The touchpad is the coolest feature. We used three fingers to move forward and backward through pictures and slideshows, pinched our fingers together and apart to zoom in on photos, and successfully rotated some photos with just a twist of two fingers. And the touchpad is really big, which is nice compared to other ultraportables.

Peripheral Ports on the MacBook Air

On the right side of the system is a flip-down door that houses a headphone jack, single USB port, and a micro DVI connector. We would have preferred at least one more USB port and maybe a mini HDMI port for outputting audio and video with a single cable, but these are nitpicks when you consider how compact the Macbook Air is. On the left side is the Magsafe connector for power.

No Ethernet, but Substantial Wireless

That’s it. No Ethernet port. That’s what 802.11n Wi-Fi is for. (You can buy an Ethernet adapter for $30.) And, of course, there’s Bluetooth for syncing your gadgets or using a cell phone as a modem. That’s key because there’s no built-in mobile broadband connection. Oh well. Here’s hoping for a Mobile WiMax version come the fall.

Vibrant Display

The 13.3-inch LED display is positively brilliant. The viewing angles were superb, and photos looked very crisp. Another nice touch is the ambient light sensor, which adjusts the backlight both on the keyboard and the display.Air 5

MacBook Air Specifications

In terms of specs, the Macbook Air is certainly no slouch. The base $1,799 model ships with a 1.6-GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 1.8-inch 80GB hard drive. The 64GB solid state drive is $999 just by itself, so you’ll want to think twice before plunking down the extra cash. We’ll be asking Apple if its 5-hour battery life claim is for the SSD model only or the hard drive model, too.

The top-of-the-line configuration features a 1.8-GHz processor and the 64GB SSD. That brings the total to a whopping $3,098. That’s basically executives-only territory, but certainly in line with other lightweight machines with similar specs.
