Hi guys,

I'm doing preorder for this exciting device and stock is expected to arrive Thursday next week. Price is as follow:

16GB = RM1750
16GB Keyboard bundle: RM2250

I'll open up a thread soon.

hmm ... isn't it only USD399 for 16 GB at state ? That's quite a big difference from RM1750.

that price excluding local US states tax and cost of shipping + tax in malaysia + profit margin.

do you think people sell things for charity and bear all the cost for you?

i'm not trying to be a b**** here, you can always buy it in singapore starting middle of may for SGD$699. just a little bit cheaper than the price irwan stated.

ok, my mistake, confuse that was the official Asus launch and pricing.

Comparing iPad2 with Transformer, It is USD399 vs USD 499 at US but it is SGD699 vs SGD728 at Singapore. For whatever reason, it seems the Transformer is price higher for this part of the world.

Why ipad2 cheap? They no need higher spec to run very smoothly for their Ios. Simple.

IPad2 is cheap because of the volume that they can sell. Apple do huge bulk purchase for the components they use and they can get really good price with that. In term of spec, the only thing IPad2 have less is RAM ( mainly effect multi tasking ) and their GPU is about twice faster than Tegra2.

Don't understand every andriod tab so expensive?  Like this better get ipad2.

Yeah, the worst thing is some of them actually sell cheaper than ipad2 at US, it is like the vendor doesn't really care about the market here.

If you can, don't buy those android tablet until it is updated to 3.1 . The 3.0 release is more a beta quality release that's rushed out to launch before ipad2.
