You can stop asking your friends/relatives to smuggle one back to Malaysia now. With just a few days left till official launching and sale, it would be a good time to get some sleep cause you are going to need it if you plan to be the first few Malaysians to get their hands on the New iPad.
Queuing will probably start sometime on Thursday and would likely be sold out by the weekend. If you are too busy to queue, you can always consider paying someone to stand in line and buy the New iPad for you or get your grandma to help out.
Since it's release few months back, the New iPad has certainly drew lots of attention and reviews. So before you grab your sleeping back and camping gear, here are some of the Goods & the Bads about the New iPad.
The GOOD
1. New & Improved hardware (A5X chip - dual core CPU, quad core GPU)
2. Crazy screen resolution of 2048x1536
3. Now has 4G LTE capabilities
4. Affordable price of RM1499 (Galaxy Tab ranges from RM1299 to 1799 with lower specs)
5. A more powerful 3rd Gen. Lithium Ion Battery for increased up time.
The BAD
1. 4G LTE can only be used in US as the rest of the world uses different frequencies.
2. Limited storage memory to 16, 32 or 64GB (no external memory slot unlike other tablets)
3. Casing temperatures can rise up to 47 Celsius (not boiling, but hot enough to cause discomfort)
4. Running on max. resolution quickly burns through the so called "new & better battery"
5. Slightly heavier then its predecessor, iPad2
I don't have any gripe against Apple and their revolutionary products but they are certainly lacking that revolutionary design that made them what they are today. Always do your research before buying any technological stuff as there are certainly drawbacks behind any innovation.
