Nowadays the new products coming out have similar price tag in Malaysia as well in case you haven't noticed.. Look at the recent M101Z... Price tag in Malaysia is similar to USA and other parts of the world is selling it at least RM2k+.. Another one is the new MacBook Air.... USD 999, Malaysia selling it for RM3299... That's almost direct conversion already... G series is a whole diff story I guess.. Many factors affecting it also..

anyways, malaysia's version is out... it's much more powerful and price is reasonable as well...

If u mean Netbooks being overly cheap in USA, it's a true fact cause in US they kinda did this on purpose so everyone can have a laptop from the first release...

Well put that aside, I am talking about the recent models of laptops of same specs... If you have checked UK and AUS price for M101Z, you'd know that after conversion both UK and AUS selling it for more than RM2K while Malaysia selling it for RM1.5k for the same thing... US around the same price as Malaysia as well...

for MBA, i guess u'd know that USA sells the cheapest Apple Mac products and how everyone tries to get hold of 1 from USA... Remember how Apple products are overpriced in Malaysia? Even the entry level MBP was like 40% more expensive than USA... Now the new MBA is only like 5% more expensive than USA.. it's definitely a fact that the prices of laptops in Malaysia are slowly shifting...

So in Malaysia now, laptops are not necessary much more expensive just that our options are more restricted....

I think his WEI should be around 6.7, 5.9, 4.4, 6.5, 5.9

According to benchmarks, it's almost the same with 435m slightly higher in 3dmark06... Not much of a difference also when playing games, mostly 2-3fps?

435M and 5730 is more or less the same thing lol...
