I don't think the price is same worldwide. At least not for the MBA in Hong Kong. It is RM300 cheaper than Malaysia.

HK prices are even cheaper than US prices, they're probably cheapest in the world right now. I'm guessing it has something to do with logistics since Apple stuff are made in China.

how come nowdays become CTO?

It's always known at BTO (Build To Order)

One of those acronyms that change depending on who you talk to. If I recall CTO = configured to order by Apple themselves. BTO = build to order by a reseller.

Yup 11.6"/1.4GHz C2D/2GB RAM/128GB SSD. I had lived comfortably with 2GB RAM on my previous 2.13GHz C2D model do I don't foresee any problems with the processor or RAM allocations.

Excellent news, I was worried about the 2GB RAM originally, can't imagine why since I've been on 2GB RAM on my Mac Mini for 3+ years biggrin.gif

really how much space do you need?

Very true. I have close to 3TB across a few external drives at home, will probably pickup another 2TB external drive. The question is how much do you need at any one time. I made a conscious choice of not putting everything on internal drive.

guys, ive been reading this thread for quite some time after setting my eye on mbp 15inch with the i7 but, as macrumour's website says don't buy update soon but after reading the thanksgiving roundup, it is highly speculated that mbp will have turn to ssd as well as no optical drive i suppose the price will also go up. i quite need the hd space as well as the optical drive but part of me is reluctant to get it now scared later the upgrade will be for a better deal :S

If you can wait then wait for the announcement. When the announcement comes out the old stock is typically still around sometimes at a reasonable discount so you have a choice.
