PC Show 2007

Went to the PC Show on Fri with WW, JD & MY.

Nothing much this time leh. Only one floor of exhibition at Suntec, and some of the big companies e.g. Creative, Nikon, Apple etc. did not have any booths. Prices seem to be similar to the IT Show in March. Lots of LCD tvs and laptops for sale though.

MY bought a Sony W55 digital camera. Me? Ended up buying stuff for frens, and didn't get a single thing for myself... How sad...

Time For Shopping Again!

Went to the IT Show 2007 at Suntec with my IT gadgets shopping partner WW today. Finally got my 80GB Seagate hard disk at $98.

One word to describe the shopping experience. Cheap!! $11.50 for a 1GB SD card, and $20.50 for a 1GB Imation thimbdrive!! Forgot that I was recently given a laptop (which has a card reader) and bought an SD card reader... for $3.90. The laptop prices are also quite low. Can get one for as low as $999, and the higher end ones with pretty good specs (e.g. 1 GB RAM, separate graphics card) for as low as $1,699! And branded digital cameras of 8 megapixels going for as low as $399! Incredible prices!

Hmm... this blog sounds like an ad... :)

New Toys

Was at SITEX 2006 at Expo last friday. Took half day afternoon leave and met up with WW & AM. Strangely it was not as crowded as the last IT fair (I think it was COMEX??). Anyways got myself 2 new toys!! Yeah! =)

First up, a PDA - Acer n311

Been thinking about buying a PDA for 2-3 months, ever since I accompanied WW to buy hers during the last IT fair. So finally bought it! Same price as hers ($499), and same freebies (1GB SD card, leather pouch, screen protector) but had an additional free cradle. Was actually comparing between the Acer and the HP iPAQ RX4000. Both have similar specs but finally decided on the Acer cos it had a larger screen.

Next toy, a DVD Recorder - LG RH1777S

With 80GB hard disk, selling for $459 + $50 Choice voucher. Was selling for $499 at Best outlets few days ago. Just fixed it up over the weekend. Can't wait to try it out! Think will record the Star Awards this coming weekend, and the Golden Horse awards, if Mediacorp decides to air it. I want to see the following performance on the tv screen!
