Honestly except for the processor, i don't see a much of a big upgrade from the older pro models, i mean most people don't use the ipad's camera, the display i kinda have to see it to appreciate it i guess but i doubt it's a major upgrade, especially when they didn't jump ship to OLED

In HK it is around RM200 cheaper after conversion.

Can HK set claim in Msia Apple

Actually buy Apple products at Apple shops in airport can also save quite a bit becos no GST. Of course provided u must find one and the shop must have stock of the ipad too.

Can't really understand what is the purpose to use an iPad to replace a laptop if you can afford a laptop which is definitely perform better than a tablet would be in terms of versatility and ability. Tablet is not going to replace a laptop, never will be. If you saying addition of mouse and MacOs, we wouldn't call it a tablet anymore! Tablet is a handhold device which increase the portability for lightweight task on it, such example will be a massive Excel working on a desk using laptop or PC, then transfer the document to your tablet so you can review or make some light modification on the go, or spend more time to do some bigger modification on a tablet which you could do faster on a laptop. Tablet is just a smart device classified between smartphone and laptop, it does better work than a smartphone but less a big step than a laptop. After using iOS 11 Public Beta, I could say that iPad covered 75% of my work which I previously done on a laptop, but at the end of the day, it still couldn't replace a laptop.
