but even after deducting GST, the price in Singapore is still much more expensive after conversion to Ringgit. And FYI, not the full 7% GST will be refunded, i think they will charge 1% service charge for GST refund.  Unless the shop at airport is selling it net of GST at the Duty Free zone.

Is 64GB more than enough for an Ipad or 128GB will be more awesome?  The price of the additional memory really very tempting - for the same amount of money, it just keep double up.  wink.gif

Of course unlocked. I nvr heard of locked ipad. hmm.gif Haha I upgraded bcos the current ipad is simply not up to the tasks i wanna perform. I can stick wif the ipad air as long as it still has support for upcoming apps.

It is definitely a million year light away from my ipad 1. everything feels snappier, it can handle any graphics intensive games i throw at it. I can feel the heat when i was playing some games, otherwise normal browing or flipboarding wont have any difference in terms of temperature difference.

After trying out iPad Air yesterday, I decide not going to get Air or mini 2.

iOS 7 is disappointment to me, the 100% pure smoothness no longer there. I had try 3 units from 2 different store at Singapore, I only can accept the device when running with Reduce Motion ON which basically change the flying out effect to fade.

The default flying out effect is too obvious jerking everywhere. I rate smoothness in iPad Air 90% which is much slower than score I give for custom Android 95% or Pure Android 98%. (I mean in latest flagship only).

Later I try out also iPhone 5s, the pure smoothness also not as 100% as previous iOS. I give it around 98 to 99%. The new iOS 7 by Apple no longer archive pure smoothness.

No bashing, I am saying my sincerity view after test out. iOS 7 is not running perfectly in higher resolution like iPad Air or iPad mini 2.

Ios 7 is a big change over , so you might give apple some times to make them perfection . personal tot , i also think ios 7 not look as good as ios 6 , cause the new ios 7 look good in white device but not the black device . because of the vibrant color

Oh I see.. Before this I was considering between Note 10.1 2014 and iPad Air..
After deep consideration, I was wondering why I need a bigger size of Note 3 and it have most of features that note 3 has it..
Then I decided go for iPad Air because of different platform and unibody smile.gif
