If I were to visit Penang for a getaway, I'd probably add Langkawi to my itinerary of maybe 5-6days in total since both are quite far north.

actually penang have island and mainland,
island is like cbd everyone go there to work only
the comfy place is mainland
Not necessarily, although the old FTZ industrial park is at island, the mainland Batu Kawan industrial park is slowly catching up now. I have employed quite a few staff that commute daily from island to my office there.

I like old places like those you find in Japan, maybe Taiwan. which are old but well maintained or conserved. Penang is old and plain stagnant, hard to move around, proper pavements lacking and public transport poor. I like Penang Hill but going there is not easy too. Even Melaka has move forward and look fresher with new developments.
Ipoh got nicer scenery. Got caves and limestone cliffs. Got castle. Less touristy
