Albeit not available US yet, LG P300 series seems to be a great contender for MBA especially if you want peformance as well as portability.
P300 does not have Penryn yet but seeing that other x-note series are receiving CPU upgrade and already released in market, I think P300 will receive Penryn update soon
The highest spec has the price tag of 2300$ approximately or 2190000won
Personally lack of Firewire in both model was dealbreaker for me. I was actually surprised LG left Firewire out because in all their past model they had Firwire (4pin)
