    Actually I’m kinda disappointed with this year’s MacWorld, it’s like the main focus went on to itunes, appletv and some movie rental stuff. I was expecting more on iPhones and Macbook upgrade (or at least more variety of colors).

    But yea, Macbook Air is really razor sharp. Looking at it’s standard specs, it’s more like a light usage piece of machine.

    I’m glad you bring this up. I could answer you as easy as “check out apple.com.my” but unfortunately apple.com.my is not a Malaysia official Apple site, which I don’t even know why!

    So then I come to find out that http://www.applemalaysia.com.my/ is the official site, but seems like the Store page is much helpful at all. Compare it to http://www.apple.com.sg’s Store Page, you’ll see what I mean.

    Macbook Air accepts order now and will ship internationally within 2 weeks. But my guess is, for Malaysians who want to get a piece of this machine as fast as the rest, get it in Singapore Store.
