Really I'd opt for the MBP 13 at any time. Its faster, the only drawback will be the flash storage that it doesnt have. Unless you are picky about that, then you should go forĀ  the MBA. Not to mention to cost difference too. For the price of the MBA (Not too sure the Malaysian price) you could probably get a pretty great spec on the MBP.

wow! thanks for your reply!

i am quite concerned with the weight of the macbook as i need to bring it to uni everyday..
is 2kg mbp that heavy for travelling?

as for mba, is the 2gb ram enough to do lots of browsing and normal stuff? no gaming.
as the mba might be used as a primary laptop. no desktop tongue.gif

I have both mbp and latest MBA. For basic use the MBA even with 2 gb ram is good enough
But if I have only one choice I will buy the mbp as it has more features and a good desktop replacement. If you need to lug it around is bit heavy
One just cannot have best of both world

if i upgrade MBA to 4gb ram, will it last me for at least 3 to 4 years? smile.gif
as i will have a 2-year-old dell studio 15 to accompany the new macbook biggrin.gif

As the saying goes " One can never have enough of memory" and if you can afford to pay for it, why not
Increasing the memory will not help you to last your Mac . 

I'd say even by next year your Mac will be out of date already

what can i do to make my mac last longer?
or mac is a product that is supposed to be replaced in one or two years?

ohya..does mac becomes lag after using it for 2 or 3 years? (or all laptops tend to become lag?)
