Good profit margins but Malaysia has very low Apple marketshare. Only 1.37%.

the only time i found it worthy to own a Apple product is the limited promotion period where the White MacBook sold for rm3k, at least worthier than Vaio doh.gif

now promo still on or not?

actually the MacBook hardware wise is quite nice, but software wise I prefer Windows whistling.gif

It would be pointless to get a Mac if you solely want to run Windows. Hardware wise: Asus and Toshiba have comparatively good quality hardware at lower price and better specs.

Yeah, Asus and Toshiba are tied in build quality with Apple in recent surveys.


Edit: A little something I saw.

hmm... its meant to close the gap, yes but why get it if one has an iPod/iPhone and a Macbook? Both those things can already do what the the iPad has to offer.. in some ways.

I think the 'gap' is the ebook reader which the other do not have. it'll come in handy for me during mrt rides or just for killing time. US$629 as a starting price for the 3G version is just about right. hopefully Sg will deliver this 1st

after this iPad, there will be HP Slate, running full sized Windows 7, and once Google are *allowed* to activate its multi-touch codes, it surely will launch Android based tablets too.

now back to one straight point, how many books a Malaysian read in a year on average? How many books they purchase? Let alone e-book.

If not for e-book, what else can this device offer exclusively? What an average Malaysian can get from this device, compare to vast variety of others like iPhone, PSP, Nexus 1, Satio etc

I think it will be harder to penetrate Msia market considering the highly unstable 3G coverage and throat cutting price of the data plan there. Also the 'everything should be free' mentality.

You sync the iPad the same way you sync with your iPod/iPhone.

This machine is not meant for high-processing apps.
Its meant for browsing, reading e-book, watching movies/photos and play some games.
If the above doesn't fit your usage - just don't buy it....!! Its simple...
Personally, I liked it... tongue.gif
