Already 11 pages still on going price debate. Amazing . I m going to Petronas Petrol Station and ask for RM1.00 per litre for my Ron 95 petrol. Shud be able to get coz Brunei can mah..

I believe they have Limited International Warranty for the Nexus 7....

Price is always a factor of convenience (and demand).... if you want cheap.... buy AP/imported.... you may have to get a plug convertor only..... if you resell next time, the next buyer will also ask why the plug is different.... if got any issues, need to see what the Limited international warranty covers....

I remembered all the imported units going for rm1000-1200 when Nexus 7 was first launched... nobody complained expensive.... all praise them from bringing in the product earlier....

If you buy local, a little more expensive..... local warranty.... you can probably ask for discount (after a few weeks) or maybe even get a free screen protector.... some shops probably can do for you 12 month installment or something....

Things are always cheaper in the US.... just California has higher GDP than Malaysia... its just their consumption is so much higher.... LEGO is cheaper there.... cars are cheaper there.... ladies handbags like Coach is cheaper there... even their phone packages is so much cheaper there (or any other part of the world)....

honest truth is.... Malaysia Ringgit is weak.... buying power is low.... . if we have strong currency like Singapore... you won't be b****ing about RM100 difference....

I have waited this long for the Nexus 7 to launch... but will probably wait for the Mini Ipad to launch... just to see what the competition is trying to create........... I also read of some rumours of a refreshed Nexus 7 with 3G....

Bottom line is... if you can afford it... BUY.... if you can't..... either work harder for more pay or move overseas where everything is cheaper....

Questions about warranty is added in FAQ in post2.

I bought my nexus 7 because its a 'Nexus'. Totally different from other tabs that only got support from their respective vendor. With 'Nexus' device u got more 'freedom' playing with custom rom/mod.

Of course u will get custom rom for other devices as well but 90% of those custom rom will have something broken.

Take galaxy SII for example. A lot of 4.1.1 rom but the main feature(hw composer/project butter) are still broken... Still need to wait samsung merge their 4.1.1 for SII before we have a fully functioning rom...

So,no matter how much these 'nexus' gonna cost me its not gonna be a prob... i'd still buy it...

That is my main reason using android(Nexus) device...

(Only) In US can you buy the n7 at 8GB USD199 (~RM610) & 16GB USD (~RM760) because only in US can you get full google play store content like movies, music, books, magazines, etc where google sells the content for profit.

In UK where google play is limited, the price of the N7 is higher.
8gb = GBP159 ~ RM791
16gb = GBP199 ~ RM990

So, 16gb selling here in malaysia for RM999 is as good as price as it gets ever.

I'm wondering what will the price be in Singapore for Nexus 7, definitely will be more expensive than US, but maybe cheaper than Malaysia. Hmmmm..... We shall see....

Actually this tablet is meant for those people who has lower income. Maybe our salary ratio is still not suitable even getting the cheap tablet. Of course outside there are bunch of cheap China Tablet. But I myself totally don't believe in China Brand, cause relatives and even friends around me, their china brand stuff always spoilt in just a year or two.

That's why people here is complaining the price. Its a matter of benefiting to lower income groups, instead of arguing whether this is worth the price

I agree.... with so many devices in the Market... not all devices will get JB.... even my HTC Sensation took quite long just to get the official ICS....

Nexus range will always have a much quicker upgraded path to the current OS...

Added on September 21, 2012, 9:16 amI believe Nexus 7 is the most value for money Tablet available on the market.... IPS screen with a 1280x720 pixel resolution... up to date CPU/GPU... decent built quality

Yes it lacks a camera at the back.... and no SD Card slot...

I doubt any other tablet comes close to the RM999 for Nexus 7 (16GB) price point....

You willing to swap the IPS higher res screen (Nexus 7) for the (Tab 2 7.0) SD Card + Camera at the back?

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.... China products.... have issues with quality control.... sometimes you lucky... it last you a year... maybe 2... if you unlucky.... 1-2 months...


Side note: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is still the best 7" Tablet made (in my opinion). LED 1280x720 pixel screen. Thin profile and a brushed aluminum finishing... the best of any 7" range.... but the asking price also a little steep, and the Android 3.0 is starting to show its age!
If the next Nexus tablet could look like the 7.7 while maintaining an affordable price point, I am very sure it will sell very well... but for sure... if you want quality finishing.... it wont be cheap... lol
