Now I do not know, if this is some kind of a problem, or actually an expected behaviour for a fork of this price range and I should get used to it.
There are a couple of things. Are you sure the fork isn't accidentally locked out? RockShox forks don't have a hard lock-out, the lock-out will open in response to a hard impact.
The other posibility is that there some excess stiction somewhere that prevent the fork from moving slowly.
Try standing next to the bike, lock the front brake and then slowly lean on the handlebars until you have almost all your weight on it. The front fork should smoothly compress. If it doesn't compress at all, that would indicate that the fork is locked-out. If it takes a modest amount to get started, then moves slowly, that's probably something sticking.
