I’ve got a contact that is selling the Mac Book Air in Malaysia.

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).

“The stereotype for each OS is well known: Mac OS X is elegant, easy-to-use, and intuitive, while Ubuntu is stable, secure, and getting better all the time. Both have come a long way in a short time, and both make excellent desktops. So we have two great desktop operating systems out at roughly the same time. Let’s see how they stack up against each other.”

For people who appreciate finer laptop accoutrements such as a backlit keyboard and a slot-fed DVD drive, Apple has crafted another tasty offering in the form of the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Sleek, powerful, and able to run Windows as well as the Mac operating system, the MacBook Pro makes a strong case for becoming anyone’s ultimate notebook.

Equipped with a 2.4-GHz Core 2 Duo T7700 processor, the maximum 4GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and nVidia’s new top-of-the-line notebook graphics card, the nVidia GeForce 8600M GT, our $2949 test unit set new speed records. The MacBook Pro outperformed the rest of the notebooks we tested, all of which claim Windows as their primary–nay, their only–operating system. We loaded Windows Vista Home Premium on the Apple notebook, and it snagged a WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88. In games it achieved a blazing frame rate of 141 frames per second in Far Cry (with antialiasing turned off).

At 6.6 pounds and just 1 inch thick, the MacBook Pro is the lightest 17-inch notebook available. But it has no memory card slots and only three USB ports, and it comes configured with an ExpressCard/34 slot instead of the more versatile ExpressCard/54 slot. Though it has Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi, built-in cellular broadband is not an option. On the other hand, video editors will be happy to have not one but two FireWire ports. Battery life was disappointing: Apple pegs it at 5.7 hours on one charge, but in our tests we got less than 2 hours, 45 minutes.

Nevertheless, the MacBook Pro is elegantly designed and remarkably mobile for a 17-inch notebook.
