Read the news earlier. 2GB RAM. Look legit! Maybe should wait for iPad mini 3 benchmarking! brows.gif

does 1gb and 2gb ram matter in iPad ? apps is optimised in iOS... smile.gif

android tablet with 2gb ram is still way laggy than 512mb iPad2 ... biggrin.gif

Don't know about lag but my ipad 2 now cant open more than 2 apps or more than 3 windows in Safari before it crashed.  Didn't happen with this much consistency before

i'm still undecided to upgrade to the new ipad air 2 or just buy the ipad air.

air 2 price 1599 vs 1279. 20% difference in price but a mediocre improvement of 1.4X of ipad air

and current the new ios 8.1 do cause all older model (except that iphone5) to lag. if ios 9 implemented next year. the ipad air may unable to run that smooth anymore. due to insufficient RAM issue
*
dont think too much la.... my iPad2 3yrs old , running on iOS7 without much problems at all ... no regret buying 32gb that time ....

juz got myself iPad Air 64gb today for RM1599 .. best decision made ever ... should be able to use for another 2-3yrs .... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

I am still entitled for education pricing and there is no 64gb model available at apple store online.  sad.gif

In addition, I have the same concern with many members here as well, which is how future proof will iPad Air be given that its ram is the limiting factor.
*
why do u need to care so much ? future proof etc ... the software support is at least 2-3yrs.... whistling.gif whistling.gif

support is there, but how about the user experience? iphone 5 on IOS8 is not that fast as it used to be in IOS7
*
its about 3yrs , am i right ? so iOS 7 should be sufficient already ...

Hey, just want to reaffirm, is Apple international warranty coverage for Ipad still valid? Someone told me Apple recently changed their terms and its no longer applicable.

Looking for clarifications here. Thanks. rclxms.gif

Get from epicenter for a better customer experience. Machines after sales is not as good.

Yeah, until you open a box and find it has got defect. Then the difference could be seen. Read about it on the iPhone forum the other day.

Apple send DHL to collect the dented iPad 4 and send a new one for me ... Only cost me a phone call...

Seems many are buying Ipad air 2 coming weeks. Anyone considering using lazada.com.my because lazada is giving 10% off during weekends using CIMB card? Retail RM1929 becomes RM1736 after discount.
*
wat if u so unlucky and get a dented unit ? i dont think u can return the product to merchant ... buy frm apple itself is better..no point to save 10% and give much hassle

You are right! Especially there have been many complaints on Lazada merchants. Do you know if Machines provide 1-1 exchange within 7 days?

If u need 1-1 exchange , buy frm apple online store ..u can request for it if got problems... Shop only offer 1-1 on the spot u buy it only...
