If you're looking towards the 2nd version of a product, you know the product is not right.

I rather have a Macbook than the iPad. The iPad is as convenient to carry as a Macbook but less than half the power and capability. Why would I want that?

1,700.09 MYR ~ 2,824.40 MYR

They still have 60 days before it launches. Perhaps Apple finally turn an ear and listen to the issues brought up.

I'm willing to bet everything I hold precious that Maxis is involved or why the need for delay?

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.

guys... the one reason y'all are complaining is the price.
I tell you what, why don't you complain when Apple actually sells 10 million units.

this is not a miniaturised Mac. its a tablet, not even a tablet Mac.

its a portable companion to your main computer (Mac or PC) ...

if that's unacceptable, don't buy it!

complain here, too expensive la, Apple margin too high la, its not a netbook la, I can get the same spec somewhere else la...

get a grip. Steve doesn't care about your whining. If your points are true, a year from now, the product will be discontinued, like the iPod HiFi ...
*
What's wrong with complaining? These are legitimate excuses. Apple tend to take the market and community for granted and they seriously messed up this time.

The tablet has no place on the market. It was a solution that no one wanted.

What's the point of this device that is not supposed to be a laptop which has little advantages over a laptop?

Better portability? No, a laptop is 3 inches bigger and you still need a case for iPad.

Better apps? Ha, it has a stripped down apps compared to a laptop. There's no flash and multitasking.

Lower price point? Netbooks demolishes that.

lol... imagine how would the sales from Machines explain the feature of iPad to customers, one day I should go in and ask too rclxms.gif

I would ask "why should I buy this thing, what makes it soooo awesoome"

Apple is indeed the world's most ego-centric company whistling.gif

Sure they will convince you with usual Apple terms, "casual experience", "hassle-free", "pick-n-play".

Well, the question that I'm asking here is, has there ever been any software or firmware from Apple that is region specific? Only thing there ever was that does this is the iPhone with its sim lock, but even for that, its still the same firmware that runs on the iPhones regardless of simlock or no simlock.

Like I said, very much a software logistics nightmare that could be easily resolved by controlling it in a single location instead, via the iTunes account.

I'm only recalling iPhone locked firmware.

I'm not asking if you do. I'm asking exactly how many ppl actually watches such movies on their computers instead of on that wide screen TV in the living room.

I do and so does a lot of people uses their laptops as a portable DVD player. I'm sure lots like to watch movies in their bed and most non-tech savvy people couldn't bother with ripping and just play it right out of the disc.

Blu-ray is the future and DVD will be obsolete in time. Period. That's how technology works. A new tech comes in and pushes the old one away.

Is Apple going to be left in the dust because its a big bag of hurt?

You two are going way off topic. What does Blu-ray have anything to do with Apple iPad?

Hmm, Gizmodo makes a fair point that the iPad is akin to the DS LL which it actually caters for the senior demographics.

Anyone got any idea when it will arrive in malaysia?

Wi-Fi is launched internationally on the same date, "60 days from now". US gets 3G models "90 days from now" but international 3G models depends on the negotiation of local telco which is expected around June to July.


I really think Apple have got it wrong with the iPad. They were thinking of a scaled up iPhone but what people wanted was a scaled down Mac. It would made more sense as netbooks run scaled down desktop OS.

Do APPLE suppport international warranty ?

Ironically, your question is the only one in this page that is not out of topic.

Yes, Apple do support international warranty. Just bring your receipt to any Apple distributor ie. Machines, Mac City and with a validate warranty.

Its like the iPhone, all your applications are from the AppStore where Apple filters all the apps that goes through and takes a chunk of the price as tax.
