Apple Store in Malaysia... Finally!!!

Apple has finally arrived in Malaysia. But they didn't open a retail store.. It's only their online store.. which is good enough.. that's a start..

So anyone of you who wants to get your iPods engraved , you don't have to order it through your Singaporean friends or from the US... you can get it here too...

Other perks are like 

- superb collection of 3rd party accessories like InCase.. but at the moment , that's about it.. ahaha.. i'm pretty sure that their collection of 3rd party stuff will come in very soon...

- Free shipping for anything more than RM250.. (come on , it's Apple... unless you only buy 1 item , it could be less than RM250..  hah...)

- Students & Teacher's discounts.... eligible student , faculty , staff member can get discounts.. at last!!! I'm not so sure on the procedures , but at least it's something for the students..

If you do plan on buying something from them soon , do it before 25th November 2008 because they will throw in a limited edition t-shirt for you.. but in my honest opinion , that design sucks... ahaks..

Here's the Malaysia's Apple Online Store...

Rumoured New MacBooks - leaked pics and more details...

Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster said

- Higher quality, lower-priced MacBooks. Munster expects the new MacBooks, which currently sell for $1,099 and come in black or white, to be clad in a new aluminum casing with a gesture-based touchpad and to sell for $899 to $999. “In other words, we expect the new MacBooks to be a meaningful upgrade with an [average sales price] 9% to 18% lower.”

- New MacBook Pros. Munster also expects Apple to introduce redesigned MacBook Pros at the same or slightly lower price. The current MacBook Pro design was introduced almost 3 years ago at $1,999. The new machines, he writes, will likely be thinner and include a more-sophisticated, gesture-based trackpad. He estimates they will start at $1,899.

- New MacBook Airs. Munster expects Apple to introduce new MacBook Airs with updated specs, but doesn’t offer any further detail.

- No Tablet Mac. “While we are confident that Apple will eventually bring its touchscreen technology from the iPhone to the Mac,” he writes, “we do not expect to see a touchscreen Mac this year.”
