Most likely ok but if really cannot, then ask my HK colleague to help claim in HK.  Just recalculate, saving not that much, only RM274 for the Pro 10.5 (most likely is the 6% GST effect).  Pencil exact same price after conversion.  Yesterday Google conversion not so accurate, just now use Maybank rate to convert.

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.

Too bad the price is kinda steep.

The spec of the new iPad Pro is certainly Monster.

If one does not use the 'pro' functions of the iPad Pro, it is quite overkilled.

But compare to iphone, which it can do more things and it got the same camera as the iphone 7. It is actually more worthy than iphone but it could not make calls of course.

I am using my Ipad Air 2 everyday. I guess this PRO is geared towards productivity. If only it has MacOS.

yes, the pro is more for productivity, i think over the years, apple also realise that if they dun do anything to the iOS for ipad, it is not going to be able to replace laptop.

yes, personally, i also do not feel that ipad pro can really replace laptop unless it runs macos. but hopefully with ios 11 or even later os, apple can improvise the ios to really make full use of the capability of ipad pro as ipad pro in terms of spec is really powerful

but obviously apple will never go for this move as they will not try to kill the market for macbook.

Macbook is getting too expensive nowadays.
*
2015 time the MacBook Pro has the best value in terms of price and spec. After 2016 the price up significantly.

I'm 2015 times, the base model of retina MacBook Pro is just adding a little bit from the highest model iphone plus.

I think Apple has really attain their goal to differentiate between ipad and iPad Pro.

Saw more forumers (aka pro users) are going for iPad Pro instead of ipad.

Purchased the 10.5" iPad Pro 256Gb Wifi+Cellular at Mac Studio at Paradigm mall earlier this afternoon. Not bad, going to list my iPad 9.7" at the Garage sales soon.
*
Yup, 10.5 inch is seriously a major upgrade from 9.7 inch one.

Obviously last year 9.7 inch iPad Pro is simply a transition product.

There sure are people who are going to use the pro to it's full capability but my line of work can't really use it for works except emailing. Lol. My usage for ipad is mostly media & gaming. My only problem with ipad 2017 is 32gb as base model. My current ipad 32gb just barely make it.
*
Go for 128gb then.

Should be liase with what you are doing on the iPad. The Promotion technology will regulate the refresh rate based on what you are doing. If the task doesnt need high refresh rate, the display will be adjusted to stay at 24 or 60hz.

Yup to save battery.

Yea i know most of them falls back to the apps themselves. But reviewers said you can see the difference from scrolling the home page so that's what i did. Haha. But nevermind. It just means it's not that significant for me to notice.
For parents 16gb pun enough d. Lol.
*
No. 16gb is not enough. 32gb still have enough rooms for apps and games etc. And also room for future iOS upgrade.

16gb is totally out.

Is it sufficient of 256 GB for ipad pro 10.5 inch?

Kind of regret didnt go for 512 GB.
*
depends on what are you doing on the ipad pro i guess.

256gb to a tablet is considered a lot i would say.

of course if u can really make the ipad pro a replacement of laptop, then no harm to go for 512gb also.

then seriously overkilled.

if u are using the ipad pro for content consumption.

then u seriously do not need so much space unless u are using it for content creation.

if u are saying that you are putting a lot of videos into the ipad. then seriously no point also, u just try to fill up the space and a lot of time those videos u put u hardly will watch it.
