maybe we should give Asus a chance XD

yes, from US store with US price

is NORMAL price in US and its more exp in other countries...

if i stay in US,i can save $50 of postage fee but oh well, still cheap and cant complain much.

so basically i only paid around RM1600 just for the tablet...

yes..but look at the price..if lets say rm2.2k is true..compare to the latest tablet from other, it got better processor, better camera, slim and attractive design, more port on the body, extra battery on keyboad, and keyboad. but cons will be gps problem, light bleed, and no super amoled + but still ips panel is quite good already, no 3g, and stock availbility. really hard decision..

Added on January 13, 2012, 12:12 pmyour price is very attractive in fact..and asus got international warranty also..so basically still quite a bargain.. i am waiting to see more feedback from more users before giving asus a chance.. the spec especially quad core is still a very big attraction to me.. at least can last for a bit longer compare to buying dual core tablet now..

Well, for me i also include after sales support.
I am not in a rush to buy a tablet, but I really need 3G support. A modem+portable router will cost around 300RM. So I rather pay Rm300 more for the convenience.

But for me camera isn't important
Size, screen dimension/size, weight, battery life, 3G and good RMA system is more important.

agree with u, when bad luck and get a defeat product, that will be a big headache..
actually like u say size and screen dimension is like interconnected.. if prefer bigger screen then have to get bigger size, if get smaller size mean smaller screen.. i used to have a 7 inch tab before..cannot deny it is a very good companion when on the go.. portable, still pocketable and small ... but when sit down at home, bigger screen will got its advantage... the best is each size of tablet get one then can use for different situation..(just joke) ..anyway, one must really think carefully what is his main usage before get one..thats what i am headache now..i own a 5 inch note already...so either 7 inch or 10 inch is fine to me..basically i will only use it when i am outstation or when travelling or at home..i will always carry a bag with me in those occasion..but of cos, extra size mean more weight too.. and new transformer just been announced..

Not really, because surrounding the screen is the bezel.
If you keep it same size but reduce the bezel it's better.
Same size for bigger screen. ^^

While I am not looking for edge to edge screen, but I think I can afford 1.5cm bezel width. Just enough for my thumb to balance. Although most of the time I realise I won't even use it and palm the whole back of the tablet.

ya..many tablet's bezel is just too big .. if they can reduced it, it will become much smaller at the end i am waiting to see how's feedback from local users and comments first.. and i never expect any words which promised by those vendor..even samsung also sometime skip their promise.. as long as it is a good product and can last longer.. i am willing to give a try..

i guess they put bezel there is because they need more space for internal hardware

maybe you're right

Not necessarily, because example the tab 8.9 vs 10.1, almost identical innards but smaller package. Of course bigger package , engineering design is less constraining.

The extra large bezel of transformerS are likely due to the design of the transformer itself. They want the tablet to match the keyboard width. Then u might ask, why not shrink the keyboard, yes they can but it will not be as comfortable anymore

Talking about the keyboard though, i remember someone in XDA did a "hard mod" on his Transformer dock and put a 500GB hdd in there (not SSD).

if ASUS actually allows that option, then i think their transformer would beat anyone else..

yeah, a lot of unused space under that dock

To roll out on January 18

i wonder if this the batch with problems or problems free

2199 with dock ?? not bad. but what about without dock ?? 3G or Wifi version only ??

Under the bright lights of the CNET Live stage at CES 2012, the $249 7-inch Asus Eee Pad MeMO ME370T – powered by the Tegra 3 quad-core mobile processor – today nabbed the CNET “Best of CES 2012” award in the Tablets category.

@alfred no 3G model released. wifi only. Without dock, look at approximately 1800-1900

@MGM, yes the 7 incher looks tentalising.

the price is very attractive with such spec.. i wonder if other will follow the steps or not..

The 1 ilooking forward to buy after the rumors states galaxy tab 7.7 will be above 2k. I rather buy this.
