you mean 899 for 8gb and 1099 for 16GB. There's no 32 GB for Nexus 7.

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.

Apple is running a different business model. How can they make money while the prices for the iPad is relatively low (although still not exactly cheap)? The iPad is currently having a 23-32% margin. How do they do it?
-Apple has their own retail channel (online as well as brick-and-mortar shops) and their own after sales service channels as well, therefore cutting out any middlemen costs. Middlemen generally extract a 30-40% markup. The biggest cost saver is here.
-Apple gets HUGE discounts on parts due to the volume Apple is able to commit to suppliers.
-Even if there are 3rd party retailers selling iDevices, due to Apple's popularity, Apple is able to nego for lower middlemen costs/markups. Bear in mind 3rd party retailers only sell a tiny percentage of Apple's products too.
-Apple's costs are further offset by revenue from their App Store. Apple takes 30% of every app sold on the App Store.

hmm.. i see
btw what is project butter actually?
what about N7 compare to the amazon kindle fire?
quite cheap also that 1

Yeah, I need 3G better.

As for the price debate. For me if it was meant to be sold at RM999, then I have no issue. But if is was meant for RM760, then ASUS jack up to RM999, then I have issue with the way they price the product.

I find it hilarious that there are folks here who say Asus is nothing but greedy. To those who think that... are you doing your own business? If you are, I will pray for you. If you are not, then go make more friends who are full time businessmen.

You can only get so greedy. There is a limit. One can't exactly sell the Nexus 7 for RM9k, can you? But if one can find that sweet spot of achieving that sales target with the max price that they want, why not? And if enough consumers don't buy at the price they want, then they will be forced to revise it too.

Consumers always have a choice. Supply and demand still rules. But to say this and that company is greedy because they want to maximize profits, that is just plain oversimplistic. Complain it's expensive, yes, maybe, because that's subjective to a certain extent (although I still think Rm999 is really pretty good). But show me a business who doesn't want to maximize profits, and I'll show you a failed one.

"Eh... I estimate can sell thousands of Product A at Rm1k! Seems like got demand lah! But I think I will just sell at Rm 900 lah. Got some people complain. Never mind, make less never mind."  Can you imagine any company thinking like this?

I bought mine from there, they do not provide 1 to 1 exchange, if you are going to buy there just check everything on the spot.
