PS5 Pro Launching Soon in Malaysia, But Why the Higher Price?
Reading Time: 3 minutes read

Long awaited PS5 Pro goes on sale in Malaysia on the 7th of November. This launch comes in concert with launches in the US, UK, Europe, and Japan. PlayStation Blog as well as Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Facebook page officially announced this date. Gamers will be able to get their hands on the newest console at the same time as several of the world’s largest markets.

Malaysian customers may also pre-order the PS5 Pro by September 26. These pre-orders will be managed through official PlayStation retailers across the country. People are advised to rush to buy this console because the demand will be high when it hits the market. This form of pre-order creates high anticipation among local customers who want to lay their hands on a new device.

Pricing Comparison for PS5 Pro

The cost for the PS5 Pro has been given as 3,849 Malaysian ringgit. It is extremely important to note that this price tag is much higher compared to the console price sold in Singapore. It is however important to note that the PS5 Pro is retailing at SGD1,069 in the Singaporean market which is equivalent to RM3,456. Hence Malaysian customers pay approximately RM 400 more for the same console.

Relative to the rest of the world, Malaysian prices are still affordable but, of course, a bit higher. Locally, the PS5 Pro isn’t available yet but in the USA it is sold for USD699.99, approximately RM2,917. The same price is set in Japan, and it is JPY119,980 which costs approximately RM3,475. In general, the current price situation in the Malaysia market price compared with the U.K. and Europe is relatively high.

Features and Specifications of PlayStation 5 Pro

The PS5 Pro will not even come equipped with a disc drive, which is somewhat of a daring move by Sony considering that the industry is gradually shifting towards putting disc-less consoles into the market. That lack of a disc drive may be a letdown to those who were looking forward to playing physical discs for the PS5 and the PS4. Still, it supports digital titles to ensure users will not be negatively affected by playing games on the console. The console, which is called PS5 Pro, also comes equipped with the same disc drive as in the current generation of PS5 Consoles.

For those gamers who would wish to have the disc-base media, there is an availability of the disc drive. This current PS5 disc drive is priced at 529 Ringgit Malaysia. This solution enables the gamers to get their existing physical games library. This decision has come with some drawbacks and the PS5 Pro is expected to offer a host of performance improvements.

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 a New iPad Pro Competitor: Pre-order Now!
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Huawei has now officially launched the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 as a new contender to Apple’s iPad Pro. This latest tablet is yet to be released in Malaysia but it has opened its pre-order on Huawei’s online store.

The latest Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2 has a 12.2-inch OLED screen with a refresh rate of 144Hz. The combination of tandem OLED technology and PaperMatte texture offers high performance and an outstanding viewing experience.

Huawei says that the mated Pro 12.2 can go up to 2000 nits in brightness. In particular, Apple’s iPad Pro offers 1,600 nits of brightness; therefore, Huawei’s device has a clear advantage in this characteristic.

As for the two devices, the MatePad Pro 12.2 features a tandem OLED panel in tandem with the iPad Pro. This enables higher brightness levels without compromising the blacks and contrast inherent to OLED screens.
