The MacBook Air in Singapore

MacBook Air under the old PowerBook G4

Yes, by now it must already be in Singapore shops, although I haven’t gone around looking. I did notice the “pre-order” link at the Apple Singapore Store has been removed, and the “2-3 weeks” delivery is now “8-10 business days”.

A sad thing I discovered about the MacBook Air yesterday: The USB-to-serial dongle I have doesn’t work with the MacBook Air. I am using it currently with my oldish PowerBook G4. Perhaps there are no drivers for the Intel based MacBooks. Time for a Google search…

  1. From the Apple Store it is S$2988. So far the few retail shops are still in “pre-order” mode (at least as of last weekend), also at $2988 with no special promotions.
