man....this was asked so many times.....

google sell this as cost price. they plan make profit when consumer buy lots of stuff from their play store.

in country where play store not fully open, where got profit. so they never plan sell here.
asus bring in because they want profit. 249usd is cost price, so the additional increase is profit for asus.

be reasonable, at price less than 1k, you only can get rubbish china brand tablet.
this is nexus device, will get android update asap as it is released.
quad core tablet, 1280x800 resolution screen (big big noticeable improvement over 1024x600)

if you buy from garage sales, sellers there order from US at 245usd, add shipping cost, and their own profit, also sell around 1k. people want to ear money la

where the asus concept store in mid valley ?

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

You pre-ordered it or you got it already? I also placed my deposit but so far haven't got news yet

Wow - Which branch?

Hopefully they don't make me wait too long

Wah seh... had to send my N7 back to the SC for the THIRD time yesterday. Was experiencing random touch screen unresponsiveness. This is the 2nd replacement LCD.

1st time, send in on 23rd Aug for screen lifting and screen flickering issues.
They replaced the LCD and I collected it on 19th Sept. On the spot sent it back in for the 2nd time on the same day as the touchscreen was totally screwy. Unresponsive and registering touches wrongly.
They replaced the LCD again and I collected it on 4th Oct. From 6th Oct onwards, I started experiencing sporadic/random screen unresponsiveness. Sent it back yesterday, 8th Oct.

This time I requested for a whole new unit replacement. But they told me, usually, only after failure to repair for a 3rd time will they replace new unit. Damn sianz already. Made some noise, grumbled and complained. The girl (quite SYT oso ) checked with the Manager. Manager agreed to replace. He said "should be" able to give new replacement but will contact me in two days time. In any event, even if replace new unit, they will need 1 week plus to 2 weeks as they themselves have to get it from distributor(???). I said, fine, ok, acceptable. But told him MUST contact me in 2 days as promised. Don't leave me hanging by my balls for 2 weeks.

I really do hope they give me a new replacement unit and not disappoint me further. Otherwise, there will be hell to pay.
