congratulations
i wonder if i should get the nexus before 30th sept..
but now no cash 

+1... I know asus also need make some profit but still rm999 is a bit too much....rm899 or even rm949 would be more reasonable....

Again I repeat no tax on tablet
Google already said they are selling directly at a loss or breakeven
Do not expect asus to follow n sell it too at a loss
You can always buy direct from google to save rm100+

didn U all notice that Asus tablet in Malaysia usually more expensive compared to other brands.

Well, asus does has an infamous reputation for their service centre especially for notebooks...

Anyone can confirm if Senheng/SenQ unit comes with the gift credit? Any free gift apart from the warranty?

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)

Oic :-)if the spec / feature are same,  everything should be nothing different lo

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

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

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.

Samsung 7 inch tab 2 also sell at rm 999 lol

I think senheng is also selling the samsung galaxy tab 7.0 at RM999. Which one is better? Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2 7.0?

I think non-3G version.

Do you all think that it could be cheaper if Google sell the Nexus directly just like in the US?

staples selling at USD249 with free delivery

Actually... the only question I need answered is...

WHERE GOT READY STOCK (local unit, not imported)?

My friend went to Senq... they said ETA is 2 weeks...

where did you get for 949??

Frankly, I think that people have a right to be pissed about the pricing of RM999. Yes, I am well aware that we cannot expect the same pricing as US, as well as reseller profit margins. However, I cannot help but feel that we are being overcharged for a semi-crippled tablet. Only 16GB storage and no SD card slot for a device that is mean for media consumption? That might be acceptable if there were content streaming but...

Do you guys remember a year ago when ASUS put out a demo of the MEMO370t and basically had us all salivating at the prospect of a cheap yet full-featured tablet? Than Google came along, hijacked it, and made it into their official Nexus 7.

To sum it up, we've had an extended wait for a tablet that is low on storage space, does not have the content delivery to make up for it, but is being sold at a higher price point anyway. Is there not something wrong with that picture? Sure, we can root and use Stickmount but we should not have needed to dangle a thumb drive from a tablet that costs nearly 1k.

I would rather Google not have bothered to make their own tablet and ASUS delivered the planned Memo370t to us instead. That said, I'm still probably going to get a N7 anyway if only because I believe that the fruity company is far more evil. Sigh...
