Definitely can use... but don't expect the interface to be smooth lor... cos not as much RAM mah... you can test drive at the big electronics shop like Harvey Norman or Courts or Best Denki to decide if you want to give the Korea set a try... I think $249 is a better price but still a bit on the high side... maybe with coupons on Qoo10 it would be a good deal... my thinking is that if you can get for less than $220, it would be good...

I beg to differ... even the iPad has its moments... especially if you don't kill the apps... it's just the way it is now... apps being so big and consuming so much RAM...

wait for 11.11 then. Couple of days away and see if they drop prices again. But it’s like fastest finger first on 11.11 deals and my fingers are clumsy so I just buy first now. Plus still got many other things to buy for 11.11 :( my poor wallet

If you buy gift card (eg ]using citi smrt or uob evol) is it still considered as online transaction?

Interesting. Actually those china tablets also using the chips used in Tab A8 (Eg t618 ) . And I guess many parts too. So wondering what happen.
And I kinda think that samsung use many of the same china parts and just put its name in it?

I also thought that way when i bought it, but then it died on me. Think maybe QC not good? I tried to contact them and they said its likely motherboard issue and must change mother board, cost $150.

Maybe i am the unlucky one.
