Asus just announced that its T100 Windows 8.1 tablet will be available in Malaysia TOMORROW - Oct 18 -- lets see how Dell reacts

Venue Pro 11 with i3 or i5 has much better graphic.

i3 = HD4400
i5 = HD4600

Dell US is now selling Venue 8 Pro. Two configuration. 32G ($299) and 64g ($349.99)

No where to be seen on Dell Malaysia's website

Irish Pro is in i7. I think the numbering for Iris and Iris Pro starts with HD 5***.

GT1 - Intel HD graphic - (with no number for HD 3000 to HD 4000)
GT2 - Intel HD 4200, Intel HD 4400, Intel HD 4600 and Intel HD 5000
GT3 - Intel Iris HD 5100 and Intel Iris PRO HD 5200




Naming

Benchmarks - showing Haswell i3 - i7 graphic beating some AMD HD7660 mobile graphic and the Iris Pro even beating the Nvidia mobile GeForce GT 640

Cant wait to get my hands on a Dell Venue 11 Pro with i3 or i5 Hasswell (which ever is nearer to the RM3K mark). This year is PC purchase claim, tax year - hahaha

the reason for choosing Venue Pro 11

1. Full USB port
2. better looking bezel (8" and 7" tablet bezel looks RETARDED with the left and right bezel bigger than the top and bottom bezel). With a 10" or 11" tablet - you see equal size bezel every side of the tablet
3. option for power keyboard (need to check if the additional battery or the power keyboard is cheaper)
4. easy, hassle free, swappable battery design
5. option for better graphic and more powerful processor
6. option for i3 and i5 processor also allows the use of Windows 8 - 64 bit for more worthwhile RAM upgrade to more than 2G. (its worthless to have more than 2G RAM on 32 bit windows as it only recognize up to 3G of RAM. Who needs connected standby when the process can last 11hrs on web browsing!

I don't think its active digitizer -- it should be a capacitive pen. I don't think the touch screen is pressure sensitive

from your link

and the Dell shops.

I only know one - cuz I deliberately looked for it. its in Lowyat plaza - behind Sony Center at the ground floor - u wont see it If not don't look for it

thanks . updated the first post

64GB version - RM 1,184.16 + USPS Express 1-2 delivery RM 202.68 (2-4 weeks at RM 79)
32GB version - RM 1,002.33

shipping weight is 0.91KG

use comegateway (you need to have an American Express credit card I think) to ship it to Malaysia. the 2-4 business day DHL shipping is the same price as the 2-4 week USPS shipping

you can purchase directly from IPMART.com.my. change the currency to RM. They will ship to your house just that the shipping is a bit expensive.

on the top right corner of the website - you can change the currency to RM

noticed the 64GB model - shipped to Malaysia using the cheapest shipping 2-4 weeks - the total price is less than RM1.2K
