If you're looking for a new Macbook Air 13" and don't mind the 4gigs of RAM, buy your MBA from an authorized reseller (Machines, Harvey Norman, Maccity) etc. rather than from apple store online. Why you ask?

Price of MBA 13" on Apple store - RM 4,199.00
Price of MBA 11" at Authorized resellers - RM 3,799.00
Price of MBA 13" at Authorized resellers - RM 3,799.00

Don't ask me why 11" and 13" are the same price. Only difference for the 13" model is, the RM3799 ones come with 4 gigs of RAM compared to the RM4199 ones which are equipped with 8 gigs. So if you're in the market for entry level macbooks, this is a good time to go for it.

Good info, time to get MBA 13" (RM4199) from APMY

Get the 4GB extra RAM for RM400, that's cheap.

But right now. Apple has standardized that MBA is of a minimum of 8gigs of RAM from the base model. 3799 for a 4gig one doesn't justify its price. Look up the specs on Apple's website before buying.

I think so too. But some people who still want a mac and doesn't want to spend more than 4k on a laptop, they can still get it at a very good price.

That's correct. And hence my surprise when I walked into Machines store and saw 11" and 13" being sold at the same price. But if 4 GB of RAM is sufficient for what you want out of a laptop, then you can save RM400 by getting it from an authorized reseller.

Hahaha. I can tell you 4gigs of RAM isn't even enough to keep 4 tabs open in chrome. You're gonna reload the page for days 😂😂😂

That's why I have 8.

Totally does not justify. 4gb is a waste of time.

8gb is the minimum now.

And I have 16

Btw is 128gb is enuf?

depends on the users, for my own use, i keep my media on external drive.
so 128GB is more than enuf.

why 8gb? if use for normal use like web browsing, videos or do some office work, 4gb not sufficient?

not enough unless super super light use, even u can survive with 4GB ram now. it will not be future proof for the next 2 years.

end up u will be forced to uprgade earlier due to the incapability for performance.

The current Macbook Pro which I am using now only got 4GB but the experience still running smoothly. Using it mainly for web browsing, movie and some document for work. This unit manufactured back in 2010 and i wonder if i upgrade to El Capitan, will it get smoother?

Mac OS is optimized for usage, so long tasks are light, they can be smooth. This is subjective.

But if u run heavy tasks, 4gb ram will definitely become the bottleneck.

Upgrade should not have problem. Performance for EI Capitan is smooth.

would like to ask, in the garage sale got seller selling macbook air cheaper than 3799 but it mention international warranty. is the international warranty valid in malaysia?

oso the extended warranty from harvey norman and apple care, wat the different?

dudes, 128gb vs 256gb, which one should i take?

is 128GB enough nowadays?
you know, with the updates & other usages will definitely consume more spaces later on right?

Depends on what you wanna do. Nowadays, we stream almost all of our media (spotify, iflix, netflix, other websites). Apart from that, softwares like photoshop, final cut pro, etc. will take the most of your space. If you just use it for browsing, doc work, and stuff, 128 is enough. If you can afford 256, then go ahead with that. You never have to worry about space.

Enough if without videos n movies collection
