QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Oct 24 2010, 06:12 PM) the new MBA is great value to malaysian buyers as opposed to the rest (of the variants). but the price of MBA is the same worldwide... i suspect is because MYR has appreciated against USD by a fair bit. comparison between existing macbook air and the new 2010 model... http://hubpages.com/hub/New-Macbook-Air-20...acbook-Air-2009 here is the video....no doubts the new MBA 2010 is a lot faster ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfndRoBYVkw...layer_embedded#! besides Mac City, any idea where the new 2010 MBA is available in KL/selangor ?

QUOTE(weileong @ Oct 25 2010, 11:29 PM) Correct me if i wrong...cant remember so much so your conclusion ?? Current MBA 13" 120GB sata at RM3.2k compared with 11" MBA with 64GB flash both boot up.. of course MBA 11" had faster start-up. But in term of bus speed MBA 13" is 1066MHZ 6mb L2 cache and MBA 11" is 800 mhz and only 2-3mb L2 cache. then old MBA got backlit keyboard...newer version of MBA = NONE  OLD MBA 1 X usb, old grahics board ,old touch pad , Newer version MBA 2 x USB ,New graphics card and new large touch pad and lastly of course..13" VS 11"  |
