The Mac Book Air is the thinnest Mac among all Macs and it was recently announced in the U.S. Although is it not yet officially available in Malaysia(and also Asia, I guess), there are still ways to get your hands on it.

The Mac Book Air 1.6 GHz cost RM7,299 and the 1.8Ghz version cost RM12,000. Buyers will have to make the full payment as my contact(the seller) will have to make the order from the factory before the Mac Book Air is sent to him within two weeks. For more info on Mac Book Air, click here.

This Mac Book Air has an international warranty that can be used in any Apply authorized store. Buyers will receive a receipt as proof of purchase.

I or Malaysia Technology Blog do not hold responsibility on the transaction or the purchase made by the buyer, however, I will ensure that the process goes smooth.

If you are a very serious buyer, dying for a Mac Book Air, give me a call(019-6780600) or send me an email(scamboy@wirespot.net) and I will click you with the seller(my contact).
