If don't want SSD/SSD option not available in Malaysia, then Toshiba Portege R830 and the upcoming Lenovo X1  laugh.gif
Portégé R830, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM3999[1.4kg], 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: Black/Red/Blue

but the graphic cards are the dedicated Intel HD3000 only though  laugh.gif

If you need more processing power, then the Portege and X1 would be better since they're running standard SB processors (not ULVs like those in MBA and Samsung 9)..
But if you're into graphics stuffs, then the MBA will probably be the better choice, the higher resolution might come in handy as well  nod.gif

well, my main concern is based on these:
1) weight (priority)
2) SSD
3) Battery Life
4) proc
5) gc (will use for work, maybe some for hd multimedia)

based on ur recommendation, it seems that MBA is cheaper than 9 series. r830, though same price with MBA, doesnt hav ssd...
so MBA is a actually a good choice?
