^ That's an awful sweet deal. Wish I was in the US again -- looove Target, was a frequent visitor when I lived there. tongue.gif

Btw, I just got myself an Air yesterday -- 32gb + LTE for RM 2199 from Lowyat. Good price, I think? Almost, if not the same price as it would be when launched locally.

Initial impressions so far:

1. Not as light as I imagined it to be, or perhaps the lightness is a bit overblown in reviews, especially as we've been spoiled by the even lighter iPad Mini. The good thing though -- the weight seems to disappear more and more as  I use it.

2. I didn't notice much lag as some other users, though I don't necessarily feel that it's super snappy either. Opening up apps and links feels similar on the iPad Air with the new A7 chip as it is on my last gen iPhone 5. Perhaps with more usage I could better assess its speed and would appreciate the new upgraded processor.

3. Coming from an iPad Mini and not having used a larger iPad for more than a year and a half, the bigger screen real estate is really, really welcomed. I got the Mini for the weight, but since my main usage for an iPad is for reading, I always feel that the Mini's screen was a bit too cramped for me after some time, especially when reading PDFs/ articles and comics.

4. I have a Macbook Air 11", so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to portability. The iPad Air is almost the same size though a bit shorter. Carrying both in each hand, the Macbook Air to me feels like it has better weight distribution compared to the iPad Air which feels a bit more dense, (which also applies to iPad Air vs iPad Mini), though not to say that it's "heavy". If I have to choose one to bring with me -- I think I would always choose the Macbook Air, unless I plan to do any extensive reading (or distraction-free writing). The good news for me is since they're both quite light, I don't have to choose. biggrin.gif

Additional notes :

1. Price feels a bit steep to me -- wish 32gb is the standard base model.

2. Moshi Versa is a kickass case for the iPad.
