With the official launch of the iPad 2, there is one sure thing that happens to the first generation iPad, the pricing is going DOWN! Yes, Apple has slashed the price of all the Wi-Fi only model by RM 350, and RM 400 cut for all Wi-Fi + 3G model.
Here’s the complete pricing of the original iPad in Malaysia (as for April 29 onwards).
iPad WiFi
16GB RM1199 (was RM1549)
32GB RM1499 (was RM1849)
64GB RM1799 (was RM2149)
iPad WiFi+3G
16GB RM1599 (was RM1999)
32GB RM1899 (was RM2299)
64GB RM2199 (was RM2599)
With the new updated price list, you can now get the 16 GB Wi-Fi model for just RM1199, instead of RM1549. The prices ranging up to RM 2199 for the 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model. This may sound like a good deal, but how many of you will opt for iPad instead of the slimmer, faster and lighter iPad 2?
For first time buyer, forget about iPad, you’re better off taking the iPad 2 home. 🙂 Thanks, liewcf!
UPDATE (30/4/2011): The iPad 1 is no longer available online at Apple Online Store. So if you insist to purchase iPad 1, you can get it from Machines outlets. The price tags for the available models are the same as listed above. 🙂
