So you think UK is more expensive?
Say you earn Rm2000 in KL and your friend in UK doing the same job pays £2000.
You bought an iPad for Rm1500 and he got his at £450. After the purchase you only got Rm500 left while he's got £1550 left. So whose iPad is more expensive?
i don see a price of a product that way. I convert the price from countries that I have relative living there to RM and see which is the cheapest.
let's say you see it that way. RM2000 - tax = how much left? I'm not sure about msian tax but in UK you are paying 40% tax, not included NIC which will be around 12.8% depends on your earning. Earning £2000 is very low in UK, barely survive. When you buy an iPad £450 straight, meaning you are rich. Middle class ppl in UK wont spend so much on something they don really need. That is what my class mate told me.

I've the same problem too, initially when I purchase my laptop, weight isn't a problem, more emphasis is given to the power - performance / value ratio, but as soon as I realized bringing a 15.4" (3kg with 9 cells attached) laptop to University, it seems that the power is not really attractive anymore. It's heavy and even with a 9 cell it will last 3-4 hours. I need more than that.
I'm now planning to settle down for some lightweight tablet and longer battery life. I'm still confused whether this iPad is going to worth my purchase. In the coming months, more and more attractive tablets are making their way into the market - Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo and more.
Any views?
