So how does the branded tablet (Windpad, Viewsonic, Asus, Acer) compare to the Chinese brand one? You think better?

I kena 'poison' already. Eager to get one, but still undecided between Acer W500 (windows mah) and China Android brand one.

i'd say see the specs, and whether do u need all the features or not. even for chinese tablets, there are a lot of different models out there.

what tabs u have in mind?

The 9.7 inch ones. Either Onda vi40 16Gb or Zenithink C91 10" 8GB 1GB RAM or Cube U9GT2

or

Acer W500.

Android > Windows

mind share me the link?? interested

Only if you're a techie and like fiddling with new O/S. Me, I prefer less hassle ...

hi there, am interested in buying a tablet from an online merchant in China. but i was wondering if there's any other charges that i need to fork out when the package reached Msia. like tax or duties? anyone have bought before? pls advise. Thanks

Although buying from China is cheaper, are you sure it's a good idea? If there's problem, you can't really claim warranty when you factor in the shipping charges. Further, there's a lot of dodgy on-line sellers, so you need to be careful.

hmm.. true that. thanks for that info

Hah... sama x2
I'm also like you. There's quite a no. of vendors in Garage Sales as well as Lelong, so you can check them out. COD is possibly the best method. There's a bit of mark-up but I think fair-lar, for support and warranty claim + overheads.

yeah bro but then the model i am finding semua out of stock lor... looking for 9-10 inch tablets with IPS screen ma... there's one Gemei G9 but cant find any seller with this. what tablet you have in mind?

Yep, we're thinking of buying at the wrong time. There's quite a huge shortage at the moment, so prices have spiked up quite a bit for tablets of 9-10 inch size.

There's 3 choices, mainly:
1. Cube U9GT2 is probably the most reliable, though not the best specs. Downside is that it's quite expensive, almost RM1.1K on Lelong.

2. Onda Vi40 16gb is the next best model. Specs are even better than Cube but there's been some complaints about it on the China forum. It's selling for about RM880-900. Now that's pretty ok for seeing as iPad 2 is selling for RM1.2K, you might want to think.

3. Zenithink C91 1gig RAM - this is the cheapest 9 inch but its' width is less.... Both cube and Onda vi40 is 1024 x 768 resolution but this one is 1024 x 600. Cost about RM680. Only 1 seller is selling the latest model with 1gb RAM.

I haven't seen the physical product yet... but I'll most probably go for 3. If buy 2, might as well go for iPad2?

Don't worry, new stocks are coming in soon - wait for 1-2 weeks at most.

I got my Onda Vi40 edy!!! happy happy

hi guys..i would like to sell off my cube u9gt2 tablet now, anyone interested at this 2nd hand unit (2months old), and I will give the leather case together.

as you read from my previous post, i bought this for my son to learn, but the android tablet has too many buttons, and seem like not suitable for little kids to use. he keeps on mis-press the button and get out from the apps.

** please take note that there is a scratch near camera (1st pic), it was originally found when I got it.　The tablet is in good condition, never dropped at all.

You will get (pic5):
1. Charger
2. USB cable
3. OTG cable (to plug ur USB device, such as pendrive)
4. manual
5. leather case
6. ear phone (never used yet)

if interested, just PM me...

This is the photos of my tablet:
