    I really should buy more X'mas gift cards!!

    • delfredo on 09/03/2012 - 19:49

      Arrgghh… but can you use the gift cards to buy this?

        One thing to remember: Kogan bought these ipads from Hongkong (that's why it is cheaper), if history repeat itself there will be a huge demand for Hongkong stocks (from China and SEA countries), so I wont be surprised if Kogan cancelled these preorders or cant ship these ipads on time, simply because they cant buy enough at a low price during the 10 days after official launch. Let's wait and see.

        • delfredo on 09/03/2012 - 20:20

          So the power plug for the charger will be incompatible for Australian use?

        • xgtrboy on 27/04/2012 - 12:43

          I received my 64GB/"4G" New Ipad yesterday, ie 26th April 2012… one MONTH after it was originally slated to be shipped!

          Here's some info for those who haven't already found out:

          a) Walk-in-to-Apple-Genius-Bar-and-get-straight-swapover-for-hardware-fault-other-than-DOA - covered for 12 months of purchase/registration date.

          b) the "Send back to Apple HK" applies only to devices with mobile phone communication components, ie iphones. "3G" mobile internet is not classified the same way.

          c) I was only able to get this information from a senior Apple support manager/advisor - several instore and onphone Apple support personnel could not confirm this earlier, nor could 3 of Kogan employees that I spoke with.

          d) My ipad shipped with an AU power plug as a free additional extra included.

          So in short, if you were happy to
          wait the extra long time, you will get a fully locally supported Apple device for slightly cheaper, that being:

          Kogan = 789+29 = 818
          vs
          Apple = 899

          Hope this helps.

      No it's not: US$499 = AU$472

      • delfredo on 10/03/2012 - 20:57

        You need to add tax on top of the US price (the amount depends on which state you buy it from). No further cost to Kogan's price except for the $29 shipping for Sydney.

        • Dacs on 14/03/2012 - 08:55

          OK then, it's cheaper in SOME states in the US (Delaware, Montana, Alaska, Oregon, …….)
          Edit: With free shipping to those places

  • David Hasslehoff on 09/03/2012 - 19:17

  • kermuffle on 09/03/2012 - 19:23

    retina display (2048×1536 touchscreen) at this price, why are monitors still generally so expensive…

    • xxxfbsxxx on 09/03/2012 - 19:27

      buy a 10" monitor and it'll be very cheap if you could accept it's size
      for a full hd dell ultrasharp with promotion the price can go near $200 for 23"-24"(ipad 10" only) so what do you expect for the lower price?? free??
      p/s: uou also get a mount for the monitor,cable out…with ipad how much it will cost you for a proper mount and cable?

      • kermuffle on 09/03/2012 - 19:47
        +6

        it's not cheap to make so many pixels for such a small screen, which is why larger sizes of monitor have higher resolutions. did you take that into account?

        this display is more than full hd. also, it is a TOUCHSCREEN. and are proper mounts and cables that expensive? a cheapo 24" would not have a costly mount attached, you'd pay extra for that.

        • xxxfbsxxx on 09/03/2012 - 19:52

          so is it cheap to make a larger screen? and if you after some genuine mount and cable from apple that will not be cheap,the mount which comes with dell ultra sharp is vice versa and it cost about $50 to buy it alone.

        • David Hasslehoff on 09/03/2012 - 20:04

          will the difference be hugely noticeable the ipad2 screen looks very good?

          It's easier to fit 1920 x 1080 resolution in a 50" TV than a 13" laptop monitor.

          Same thing applies here.

        • Elijha on 09/03/2012 - 23:29

          this comment just made me wonder if the touch accuracy has increased with the resolution .. would it need to?

    • shift6 on 10/03/2012 - 00:47
      +4

      Demand - it is likely that both in the consumer market and enterprise market, people are getting by with their 1050/1080p monitors. Given average viewing distance, it may be less of an issue for monitors. Consider also that PC sales aren't too flash and laptops/tablets are becoming more popular which decreases demand for stand alone monitors.
      Economies of scale - Apple are able to commit to suppliers for massive orders. It is likely that no other company is willing to take the risk of having a huge inventory of expensive high resolution monitors.
      Product features/Marketing - People are willing to commit to an iPad purchase for the premium because it is so much more than just a monitor. It is a software and hardware bundled device. It is incredibly accessible in retail/online and would have significantly better exposure compared to say "LG's 3840x2160 monitor"
      Plus many more reasons.

      I'm sure that over time, whether its brought about by Apple bringing 'Retina displays' to Macbooks or a significant industry shift, cheaper high resolution displays will come.

      • kermuffle on 10/03/2012 - 12:02

        very good answer! i'd definitely agree with market trends, economies of scale and marketing.

        let's for that industry shift to come soon…

    It's $490 + GST and free shipping on Apple store. This deal totals $508 no GST.
    Cheaper to buy from the Apple store if you can claim GST back (eg. tourist refund scheme, or if you have a business).

      I think it's slightly cheaper, bit better than US prices as stated above

      • plasmapuff on 09/03/2012 - 20:29

        Not when you factor in Kogan's exorbitant shipping costs. 16GB Wifi is $499 US? The ridiculous AU RRP is just Apple ripping Aussies off despite AU$ parity and beyond. In theory, $499 US = $469 AU. The fact that Apple is ripping everyone off and Kogan has their price closer to true RRP, which makes everyone think that its a deal is just sad.

        Apple fanboy or not, this is just the truth.

        • parcus on 09/03/2012 - 20:35
          +4

          It's $499 + tax in the US. Factor in 10% GST here and it becomes $548.9, so the current pricing is better than parity (name any other tech company offering us better than parity prices on any of their products!)

        • David Hasslehoff on 09/03/2012 - 20:36

      • delfredo on 09/03/2012 - 20:26

        Not according to Kogan website. It says "This product comes with a one year, Australia wide warranty. Please retain your tax invoice after the transaction.". Does this mean that you get the retailer's warranty, rather than from Apple?

        • Shirty Grizzly on 09/03/2012 - 23:08

          The description labels it as an Australian Apple warranty. Retaining the tax invoice would just be if you need to prove it's less that a year old.
