MacBook Air Launched in Malaysia
Apple Malaysia had a small event for the media yesterday on the launching of Apple’s MacBook Air. Although it was a small event, they had two MacBook Airs for us to fondle around with.Â
There were only about 10 of us, so there is not much point in having a projector. Apple brought their 30″ Apple Cinema Display connected to a 17″ MacBook Pro for the launch.

Product Marketing Director for Apple Asia Pacific, Mr. Tony Li presented the MacBook Air to us and went on to demonstrate the other features.
First, he demonstrated the Multi Touch TrackPad on the MacBook Air, then he went on to demonstrate how to install Microsoft Office for Mac on the MacBook Air using Remote Disc.Â
