since we're discussing the rm999 price tag... i'll chip in my view...

in the end, rm999... its up to the individual to see whether it is worth it or not. some ppl pay rm1mil for a car... some ppl think it's stupid yet others think the rm1mil is worth it.

asus already made some money when they 'sold' the N7 to Google. as for shipping cost, etc... N7 probably made in TW or maybe CN... shipping it to US will cost more or shipping to MY?!?

retail shops in US also sells N7... that means even at the USD249, Asus made money. Google made (a bit) of money... Retailers made some money...

to google... whether people buy from Play store or not... their core business is still ads. ppl dun buy apps but as long as they surf the internet, download FREE apps that uses ads, Google already made some extra money...

so, in regards to rm999 price... i think Asus MY is just milking the most of of N7... they know the demand is there... they might as well make the most out of it...

update1: i'm still evaluating my options... SenQ's offer seems attractive -- 2yrs warranty. i guess it's a member's only thing and i need to topup about rm30 to be member... warranty might be a good idea considering so many complaints abt defects... i'm still waiting for AP sets to drop in prices.

but my Q about AP set is... when does their warranty start? dowan to go buy AP set just to find out warranty started 2 months back... (the day dealer bought the set from US)

senheng / senq register as member if not mistaken is RM 12 (don't know is lifetime or not, not sure)

maybe 100 for delivery cost. the balance is profit.
249usd is the cost price that is only sold in US, being subsidized by google since they make profit from play store purchase.

you are the very rare one that feel its still worth at 999.
yesterday lots of people complain and cant accept the price. 

Anyone have problem with Play store?
It say "error purchasing...something"

after restart still same

I believe the rm12 is for annual fee. Not a lifetime.

Guys

I just realized my google calender on my nex 7 is not sync with my google calender in other device. I searched in www & it seems some people also experiencing the same prob. Do u guys experiencing the same too?

Any suggestion to rectify?

Thx in adv

Just find a fren/relative with senQ membership to help.
Ordered N7 with SenQ via senQ staff, promise to deliver within a week.

Agree with you about Asus milking us all. I might as well wait for Samsung quad core tablet.

I think its not ASUS milking us.... its a margin allocated for the Reseller.... Asus already made their share.... These margin let it be 10,20,25,30% that the shop makes.... if the shop wants to give you discount, its from their Margin....

Don't take it personal.... its only business..... you think rental in MidValley cheap? or Lowyat Plaza?

You can buy from Google at that price (US250), because there is no middle man.... Google probably gave up their profit margin.... and also as a "marketing strategy"

and remember this.... just NOT that long ago, people were selling for the Nexus 7 for 1000-1200RM at the forum... nobody complain expensive also....

I am sure if you wait a month, most reseller would be giving you free SP, accessories or discount.... regardless what deal you get.... Asus already made their share ....

Hell, wait for Ipad Mini to come out, and you can buy Nexus 7 for a good price in the forum!

no need to wait a, galaxy note 10.1 selling already, RM2199 only.
go grab man.

I never thought of buying apple but if this kind of milking practice keep going of. I might as well buy a quad core tab from samsung when it available or as the last resort go for apple tab mini.
