Gov interrupt the price. So need to sell 1199. If cheaper then 1malaysia tablet then how to sell the 1malaysia tablet?

hey I notice the nexus shop previously in lowyat putting notice they will be opening on 21sept too. Not sure whether they will be selling too like previous rumours?

yup, they changed the store name totally. but jz curious n happy if they really selling

For me it's overprice, even HK is only selling around 949 and TW is around 900..

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....

How much? RM999?

i think you go senQ buy better.

999, rm50 difference, but you get extra 1 year warranty from them.
much more worth compare to some accesories in my opinion.

read the op, there is no 3G version.

Very good point. Google only takes 5% of app sales as announced at Google I/O 2011. Also, keep in mind again that we're buying the product from ASUS, not Google. There is a huge numbers of middlemen between the content provider (Google) and the consumer. ASUS is the manufacturer but you also need to account for the logistics, distributors, supply chain, resellers, marcomm...all adds to the price.

quickly open it, i wana see the charger, is it local charger or US charger?

C90 newer, the number i think is month it was born.

mine is C60, one of the first gen.

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)

Samsung also damn CCB lately.... no discount when I bought the Tab2 10.1 2 weeks ago....  RRP1499..... a month before that, they sort of offered 100-150rm discount....

According to every shop in Digital Mall PJ, Samsung has "set" the price.. and no discount is to be provided to sale of the Tablets.... They tell me the instruction was given because the TELCO are also pushing the Tablets with their packages.... thus need to price set/control....

Can someone confirm this... or its just that every shop in Digital Mall "pakat" and price set.... lol...
