| 1229292 | 2011-09-07 11:12:00 | I'm going into HN tomorrow with their 12 hour sale and see if I can score a Transformer for cheap. | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1229293 | 2011-09-07 11:39:00 | darkstar09 - did your Transformer come with a NZ adapter plug, or a proper NZ power supply? IE do you need to put an adapter on to be able to plug it in? I ask because TM have just decided to remove my listing because "may not comply with New Zealand Electricity laws. All electrical items for sale on Trade Me need to be fitted with a plug approved for sale in New Zealand." If they're sold in NZ with only an adapter then surely every single listing should be removed, even if NZ new? Because "The Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 state that fittings or appliances with foreign plugs (such as those from America, the UK, EU or Asia) are unable to be sold in New Zealand. This also includes most adaptors sold to fit these types of plugs to make them compatible with a New Zealand power outlet." Someone might be able to shed some light on this. Adapter, the plug came in about three parts. Cord, plug and adapter. I'm going into HN tomorrow with their 12 hour sale and see if I can score a Transformer for cheap. How's the sale work? |

| 1229294 | 2011-09-07 12:15:00 | Not sure - just heard a radio (TV?) ad that they are having a 12 hour sale tomorrow - computers and stuff | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1229295 | 2011-09-07 12:15:00 | Thanks Darkstar. So basically any TF, even NZ new and with an adapter cannot legally be sold in NZ. Haha what a joke. |

| 1229297 | 2011-09-08 11:39:00 | Well, I treated myself to an early birthday present tonight. Got the 32GB version with the keyboard. Shiny. Nice. I'm a happy chappy! And thanks to AppBrain, all my phone apps are now also on my tablet!! |

| 1229298 | 2011-09-08 11:40:00 | Mean :D How you finding the Keyboard? I'm jealous, haven't got that yet ... Just the tablet itself. I'm *very* impressed by it though!! |

| 1229299 | 2011-09-08 11:49:00 | The keyboard is a little different to a PC keyboard - no F keys. But the equivalent keys are mapped to specific functions. I'm sure I'll get used to it - eventually! :) | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1229300 | 2011-09-08 20:51:00 | How I now regret buying that laptop a couple of months ago. Never mind I will wait till they bring out a new and improved model and have the last laugh. |
