...like a better travel laptop than my 17-in. MacBook Pro, and the 2530p has a 12.1-in. screen (as measured diagonally) and a total weight starting at only 3.2 lb., ideal for Virgin America's economy seats. As with most HP business-class computers, you get a slate of useful little features, like a teeny LED night-light at the top of the screen that pops out to illuminate your keyboard, minimizing spousal irritation.

Literature realizes the universal when the local is combined with universal experience. “Europeans live in very close proximity to other countries, and Americans do not,” Teskey also said. “Many Europeans travel to other countries and speak other languages, whereas Americans do not do so as often. But after spending much time in France, it is very interesting to see how important American literature is in France—American novels are translated very quickly...
