While the Tegra K1 is still a very powerful processor and offers very smooth graphics, you should know that NVIDIA has already announced the Tegra X1 chip and Xiaomi are supposedly working on the release of their Mi Pad 2 tablet soon. For RM799, the Xiaomi Mi Pad is still a very good value tablet but it does feel a bit late coming to the Malaysian market especially as other 64-bit tablets are making their presence known.
