You really think that Asus Malaysia will sell the new Nexus 7 @ RM700? Direct conversion is one thing, but local RRP is another. Remember, the first gen Nexus 7 was $199, meaning RM643 or so after conversion. And how much was it sold in Malaysia when it was first launched?

To me, cheap China tablets are disposable. Rosak? Throw away, because frankly, it just isn't worth repairing it. If the local distri can fix it, good. If they need to send back to China, be prepared to wait a few months without a tablet. I just dropped my Vido, and that destroyed my power button. I'm contemplating to sell it right now. Mind you, my Vido is in a case, and it dropped on a carpeted floor. The power button sorts of works, but needs to be pressed hard. Warranty? I'd rather not be bothered.

I know Google launched the Nexus7 as a budget yet powerful tablet, but that happens overseas. Google has no control of the price Asus sets locally. So because of that, the Nexus 7 isn't a budget tablet like what the Americans perceive it to be. For our local market, budget tablets are cheap, like those Allwinner A13 tablets.

I think Nexus 7 was sold at RM700 too in Msia, not by Asus Malaysia, but by Newegg. There's not much price different with US and Msia. Direct conversion is quite true one.

But Mini One is more like alternative to Ipad Mini in Android form. Sadly i don't travel as frequent to China as i used to else I would have bought it myself in China for less than RM500.

Not sure but u guys but 7 inch screen size just seems bit odd else i would have settled for Asus Fonepad biggrin.gif

3rd battery charge on Mini One

Standby mode - 100% no deduction
3.5 hours of continuous online streaming / gaming with wifi on - 90% down

I am not impressed by this.

Brightness settings? 3rd charge still might be a bit too soon hmm.gif

There are a lot of factors affecting battery life, just so you know.

brightness is at about 50%, i've tried to delete all the standard chinese apps that come with it. (Just in case it is active in the background)

Let see how long the 4th charge last.
