For what you're getting, some of you might find RM999 neglectable. Good for you.

We love the Nexus 7 too. But for questioning the RM999 price point, we are shunned as "complainers"?

Sad to see people defending a company at maximizing its profits when mindful consumers are only asking for better value. I guess some people love gadgets more so.

quote from jpaq


i dont understand.

galaxy tab2 7, (nexus7)

old TI omap processor (tegra3)
1024x600 (1280x800)
bloated ics (stock JB)
laggy (butter smooth)
RM1299 (<RM1K)

you angry at nexus 7 overpriced.
in the tablet realm, at this very moment, nexus is not the best/perfect (no sd card, 3g)
but nexus 7 is a very good buy, THE BEST value for money.
(dont mention kindle fire please, if its available here, it will mark up the price to same level as n7)

Foxconn also earn nothing...

went to senheng just now, only 1 Nexus 7 in their computer system at RM999, my wild guess is they only sell the 16GB. Good thing is they offering 1+1 year warranty.

I think people have misunderstood the situation here. It's not that we don't want the product at a cheaper price, EVERYONE wants cheaper products.

The fact of the matter is that US got Nexus 7 at a cheaper price because 1) Google wants to dominate the 7" market there 2) Google is aiming to make profits from app sales.

Most of the world will receive the Nexus 7 at around RM900+ because ASUS, unlike Google, is a manufacturer which need to make profit on the products they sell. In fact, if you compare the profit margins of the Nexus 7 with other ASUS tablets, the margin is a lot less for this.

The fact that the US get products at a cheaper price is nothing new, the Brits have been complaining for years that due to the high value of the pound sterling they're always paying more for gadgets (eg. PS3 at release).

Conclusion is this: We don't like the price either but we accept that profits need to be made and instead see RM999 as a fair reflection of the value of the product (compared to other tablets).

Edit: grammar.

The problem is there is ppl whining that RM999 is expensive even tho they can always buy imported set . The things inside the box and the warranty is totally same .

Furthermore the price will certainly drop slowly from time to time . The sengQ 2 years warranty is an extra also . Take it as you pay more for extended warranty .

which company dont wish to make money?

diff consumer has diff perception, if consumer feel that its over priced, simple... walk away from it and look for the one that you feel its value for money

u can actually walk in to Directd and pay rm950 then bring your brand new nexus 7 and the extra rm50 to coffee shop enjoy RIGHT NOW. hahaha

Agree. I have seen too many cases. example, a car speaker in Malaysia cost RM1400++ but in US can get it with RM600++

I guess most of the complaints is bcoz the high expectation of ppl towards the nexus 7 price...ppl expect it to cheaper than what sellers in lyn is selling but the price end up to b same or a bit more than what lyn seller r selling...some ppl even directly convert the price from usd to ringgit and hoping that it would b sold at the same price when asus launched it in Malaysia...

+1 for this

Its theirs to sell, they can put what ever price they want. and if us the buyer think its expensive don't buy. Go find china brand that `cheap'. Its as simple as that. If a makcik want to sell her nasik lemak, do u think consumer can instruct her to sell it at RMxx price? For me I'm happy for my nex 7 and the price that i paid is very much worth it.

Btw anyone know how to enable auto arrange for text while zooming in/out? u know the function like in ICS phone?

If Apple can do that, why can't Asus/Google? They songlap much?

chrome automatically does that, just double tap to reflow text.

if you want text reflow at every zoom level, use opera.

Mayb it's bcoz like what the others said... Google release nexus 7 to compete with iPad in the us and they r making sales thru the marketplace... Asus on the other hand just helped google to produce the nexus 7 and they still wan to make profits in the other parts of the world using the nexus 7.. Apple products are already and always making profits d...

Thx bro. Opera does work.

I'm left wondering if any of you have the smarts to tell when being ripped off, let alone bargaining a better offer.

Of course you'll pay up without questioning while rationalizing the deal as a good offer; furthermore that merchant you just dealt with must have lots of mouths to feed at the end of the day.

Seeing most here have no question shelling out RM1k for a 16GB Nexus 7; heck, most of y'all will probably go and justify Asus selling the 16GB Nexus 7 at Rm1099, without question.
