I'm in your shoes too. Can't wait for its arrival in Malaysia.

went to c-zone and they said somewhere next week. hopefully it is real.

I thought the 128GB LTE version sold out?
I was planning to get my first ipad from singapore but I don't think is worth paying the 7% GST
Btw, did you notice any yellowish on the left side of the screen? I did read some US owner complaint about their screen issue on apple community

I don't think this soon.. my best guessing is end of nov or early of dec..

You can claim the 7% GST at the airport. Just buy the iPad at the airport .. only available for departing customers.

Here in Thailand, iStudio (well known Apple Reseller in Thai) posted on their facebook that iPad Air will available on 15th Nov.

I know that but I can't because I always travel by car or bus to Singapore

That's great news

Just wait for Air Asia to make a promo and quickly fly to Singapore..

It's $643 after 7% off.

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.

Oh ya, the admin charges
That's the thing I was planning to buy 64GB at first but after deep consideration I could get the 128GB version just add another $1xx

Yes, comparing 64GB to 128GB, 128GB like just a "small" premium to pay coz the normal 64GB microSD card also cost about RM200.

Btw, how is the quality of an Ipad generally? Possible to last 3-4 years without issue? If I really spurge nearly RM3k on the 128GB, must make sure it will last quite a while.

Yup. that's the thing. At singapore first sold out model is 128GB LTE version
I am not sure this is my first tablet and first iPad as well
Should be no problem.. I still see few of my friend still using their iPad 1 or iPad 2 until today

Hi guys, am going to get the IPad Mini 2 with cellular. does any one know if I buy it from US, will it work with Maxis' LTE?

It stated in the Apple store webpage "Your iPad will work only with the carrier you choose." where you have to choose AT&T, SPRINT,etc,etc... but don't need to buy any plan, just choose the carrier.

BUT at the bottom (footnote), it states "When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card from a local carrier." rclxub.gif

So it is confusing. Anyone can advise? or have experienced any US ipad with cellular connected to Maxis'???

Thanks in advance for any help. notworthy.gif

Worth to get iPad Air or iPad Mini RD? Already got iPad 3... i'm more on iPad Mini RD

why you need 128GB?? What do you want to store???

I'm still not sure if I should buy 16GB or 32GB. I'll probably put some films in it to watch it on the move, probably not songs as my mobile is full of songs.

It can last 3 or 4 years... but does it matter?? After 2 years, you see iPad 7 (assuming 1 new iPad every year) then you'll be tempted to want the new one.

No matter how good we are at keeping our iPad ... it can be scratchless or whatever, but after 2 years, tempted to change liao.

We can never keep up with technology.

then get iPad mini .. since you already got the full size iPad.

128GB is great to be the portable storage for my DSLR when I am on a vacation trip. And tonnes of TV/movies is good for boring flight/transit time too. The 64GB microSD in my Note 2 was almost full with medias i loaded in and photos/videos i shot over a year time. So 128GB is not a wasted spending for me.

I am not so tempted by the new tech so much now as in previous years coz i think it has reach quite a saturated limit. We dun need so much advance in computing power of our mobile devices/computers. Most likely i won't upgrade my Note 3 next year. In fact, i am quite reluctant to upgrade my Note 2 this year coz Note 3 doesn't really bring too much new tech. I bought a MBA this year and i think it will last me for few years. My preceding working laptop is a 5 years old Lenovo Thinkpad X60 which is still in good working condition. It is still perfectly fine for office works like accounting softwares/MS Office/etc. but i let it go to my kids which need a simple computer/laptop to do some school works/projects.

The only hardware I "have to" constantly upgrade is my gaming PC. If the hardware can't keep up with the latest games I play - then no choice have to change the parts. Nowadays, changing the GPU is good enough to improve the performance by a large margin.

We can never keep up with new tech but we can choose not to keep up if we dun need it.

i bought from hk. it is 64g wifi. it cost me rm2300. i will definitely go for ipad air due to its screen size. i hate smaller screen size.

Huhu go ahead. I can use my ipad1 until i upgraded to my ipad air last week. The reason i upgrade is so many games are no longer supported.
