PC Fair III ‘08 Late Review

December 18th, 2008  Tagged , ,

I use 2 go PC Fair but tis year not really. Reason being is tt somehow it clashed wif some1 wedding, church services & so on. So tis yr is my 1st time. I noe alot of ppl says PC fair price not much different fro LY plus all da crazy traffic involved whether is cars or people.  But stil i lov 2 go there haha.. so tt i can survey da prices & brands @ one time. @ da same time, c if there is any new gadgets or not.

I start my journey @ 2 something.. stil thinking whether i should drive there o take LRT. Take LRT will get rid of da traffic & parking prob but if i reali got buy something then it will b hard 4 me 2 carry thru in a sardin packed LRT plus it might rain. Decision decision decision… ok. Drive sajalah! Thank God no jam & quite easy 2 find parking.

B4 went 2 it, go KLCC ATM machine 2 cash out some money, knowing well tt KLGCC will b a lot of people lining up based on my previous experience. Always learned fro mistake. haha

Ok, start journey liao. Alot of ppl… 1st section, PC Guru, a section where you suppose 2 get expertise advice from gurus on how 2 choose da right PC 4 ur own. So i went in there @ da same is 2 c da new Intel® Core™ i7 Processor technology.  Right row consists of all types of notebook including netbook@mini notebook from various brand. Left row is where a few set of PC station placed. Each PC has a multiple LCD monitor 2 make up a big screen. One kid sitting there playing shooting game. Very smooth the 3D game. As i mention earlier in my post, i would like 2 own a netbook. So i ask da so called “expert” about da netbook comparison. He can’t really answer my question. *slap forehead*

Nvr mind, i went 2 2nd section, sound section where all sorts of speakers, headphones, earphones & related accessories r being sell there. I just walk 1 round.

Then next station is hall booth section. There is where my real hunting ground is. I promise 2 help my fren 2 buy FM MP3 modulator wif da cost of RM18. Is not easy coz most of the booth da selling price range is RM60 - RM22. But in LYN, someone did mention RM18. Wif a nvr give up spirit, i went thru da whole hall not once, twice but thrice! *fainted* Finally I hit da jackpot. There is one booth & i really believe is da only one booth tt selling it wif tt price. But too bad is not tilt version. My fren insist must hv tilt function. So no buy.

The design of da booths hv been keep 2 minimum. Big brands such as Sony jux using normal type booth & instead Celcom is da one having double storey booth.  Ppl mention Hall 5 is da worst coz all telcos promoter r there 2 grab ppl. Heard they say they r like wolves attacking sheep. haha.. so i try 2 avoid tt.. using da faster route 2 exit which is @ Hall 5! I survive! =P

Da top 3 hits items of tis PC fair are:
1) netbooks - range from RM840 - RM2200. High end will hv bluetooth features, bigger HDD space & longer battery span.

2) harga runtuh thumbdrive - RM88 4 16GB!

3) external HDD - 1T Maxtor r only RM380. If u r da 1st 100 customer, promo price RM299! Jux imagine how many movies you can store! =)

I, myself oso manage 2 buy wat i wan. Below is what i hv bought.

1) PROLINK Wireless keyboard & mouse combo - RM89
- PKL4794G 2.4GHz Wireless Desktop Combo
>> What i lov tis combo is da “Up 2 10 m working distance 2.4GHz 2 way fast digital RF” & micro receiver. Is really micro, almost same size as mini pendrive! m using now… very good. Lov it! Oh ya, Vista compatible as well. Perfect!

I actually wanna buy Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 2000 tt cost only RM119. Spill resistant & ergonomic design BUT the receiver is what turn me off. A huge receiver device.

2) Travel Kits cable - RM9
>> is not under my list actually becoz i dun noe abt tis thing. =P
I bought becoz i wan 2 replace my current portable HDD cable wif retractable type. But too bad is not working when i try it. I think mayb becoz not enuf power gua… so now trying 2 c can use in another way o not or else very wasted. Anyone wan 2 buy? hehe

3) USB Micro Bluetooth Dongle 2.0 - RM18
>> Tis is da lowest price i can get after comparing da rest. Normal price RM23 & above. M actually aiming da normal type one like pendrive size but then when i saw tis one… is cool! so short & mini! Vista compatible as well. Supports Bluetooth voice (A2DP) / data.  Works fine wif my baby HP. But one disadvantage, a main one 4 me… kenot multiple send files & choose da directory. I bought it 2 replace da almost ruined out USB cable. I guess i only will use it when i nid 2 transfer pic outside my hse. =)

4) 2.5″ external HDD leather pouch w/o casing - RM15
>> Initially wan 2 buy da casing as well but wan 2 minimize da cost. My enclosure, one of da end rosak liao. But now m using 3M crystal clear tape, tape around it & use tis pouch 2 protect it. Shuld b good enuf.  :-)

5) 3M Stuff - RM3/set
>> 1 set - Yellow Post-it Notes w/ Crystal Clear Tape
>> 1 set - Yellow Post-it Noted w/ Glue Sticks
Is a good deal. Cheap sale!

Oh ya! did i mention i parked @ KLCC. Parking fee: RM9. sigh!

From 3 -7plus i hv been there. Feel very sick. I guess mayb becoz i drink very less water plus empty stomach. Oh ya! hard 2 breath environment as well. Tired. So i went bck home tapau “pork mee” 4 dinner. After a few spoons, kenot tahan liao, went 2 bed & sleep. Headache. In da middle of nite, wake up vomit pulak. *slap forehead* i was very worried coz i promise Sis Liz 2 become her backup singer. If i don come means no backup singer… but praise God tt i still able 2 wakes up & serve but after serving i drove bck home & rest. sigh! Lesson learned. No empty stomach & must bring one water bottle b4 start da journey.

tt’s all 4 my 2008 PC fair experiment.
