Laptop Info Today

Well not really though.

I had 2 working colleagues of mine who wanted to get themselves a personal laptop and need me to be their adviser. ( I feel like a V.I.P somehow)

Anyway I’ve been going through the lists of brochures from all the booths ….. and boy it’s hard to make a decision, mind you.

Normally I will narrow down to 3 models based the value-for-money criteria due to the fact my friends aren’t gamers and they are basically getting a new notebook for surfing for office work purposes.

I had to bring my 3 year old son along on that day which were packed with enthusiastic buyers gunning for the bargain items on display. Then after much research I had recommended both my friends the NEC E6300 notebook.

Check out the specs below:-

Intel Centrino Duo CPU processing at 2.0GHz, 160GB of Hard disk space, 3GB Ram (after free upgrade), 2.0 megapixels in-built webcam, Bluetooth and Wireless (G) networking built-in, interactive touchpad & hotkeys, DVD-Dual Layer built in and it comes with Windows Vista Home Premium operating system.

Well the shock part is, this 14.1 inch notebook that weighs about 2.38kg cost about SGD$1499.

And that’s not all, apart from its white-leathery finishing on the back of the LCD, it comes together with freebies such as cleaning kit, an optical mouse, a NEC laptop bag and a free one-year subscription of Norman anti-virus.

I’m pleased that my friends were happy on that day, and why not they got a steal of a deal!

My son and I also enjoy the atmosphere very much on that day ….. and it’s been quite an experience.

Since the day I step into the IT Show 2008, it has been a great feeling.

Crowded as I expected as much, but the view of the laptops, gadgets and babes makes me re-energize a bit

Anyway, every IT show in Singapore has been a target to consumers kinda roadshow and the event pretty much says it all, ” Sale ….. Come & Buy”

Though I saw a lot of part-timer students as sales-representatives, I have to give them a big credit doing the work and facing some picky customers along the way.

Well these guys or gals are part-timers and some might not be tech-savvy, mind you.

So it’s better to plan what you getting and go and get them (fast and furious )

Well to get the complete coverage click on the Toshiba babes for Part 1 & the LG Babe for Part 2.

Enjoy ……………

Hey guys….. I’m perspiring already

Hi, it’s been sometime now since I’ve been updating my blog and today I’ve wanted to share some good tip on how to get a good laptop deal at a roadshow fair.

For the people in Singapore that simply means the IT Show 2008.

But in general, wherever you go to an IT Fair that showcases laptops galore, buyers will be ultra confused which notebook computer should he or she buy.

I’ve received an e-mail recently from someone in Singapore asking me about this.

Well I hope this post might be useful to you because this is some tips you should arsenal yourself with before you splash the cash.

Yes, that’s right.

Laptop manufacturers are gunning it again this time as the IT Show fair starts next week 6 till 9 March 2008.

As expected the notebook computer sector will drive consumers in numbers as popular brands like Fujitsu, Acer, Apple, MSI, Lenovo, LG, HP and Asus will be there to showcase their top-end and bargain notebooks at astounding prices.

What I’ll be checking out has definately be the MSI GX600 (which I previously reviewed), the first time ever appear on this Lion City.

Not to miss are brands like Apple ….. showcasing the MacBook Air (the world’s thinnest notebook) at a very special price!

For more information, you can check Hardwarezone Preview for the upcoming event.

Singapore notebook company, Axioo has recently released a range of notebooks with an Asian taste and soon to be taking Asia by storm.

Already there’s a buzz among the local people there, whether it going to really hit Asia or the world market ….. we’ve yet to see.

Axioo has released 4 models for the taking.

1. Centaur - For Power and Performance
2. Oris - Light, stylish and for the Modern user
3. Zetta -  The New Concept Of Perfection
4. Neon - The Best Value Deal

Especially with the homegrown support, Axioo is ready for the big launch on on SIngapore’s very own IT Show this coming March (6th till 9th) which will surely will be a big step for this new and emerging company.

Sitex 2007 will open its doors tomorrow and bet you gonna see lots and lots of people rushing down like the world’s gonna crash down on top of you or something .

And for those who are not sure what is installed for tomorrow’s (till 2 Dec) , here are some of the snippets that you gonna get..

As expected lots of discounted goodies and gadgets that will come in to the event.

My tips on surviving the aftermath (Sitex 2007) :-

1) Always go to such an event with a buddy or in a group.

2) Observe and collect as many brochures as possible (within the first hour - do not make purchases during the first 30 minutes unless you are very sure what you want to get).

3) Sit down in a small corner and observe the brochures; make comparison and decide the best bargain for you. Call your personal experts to know more on a particular product, if necessary.

4) Don’t be fooled by sales-personnel sweet talking. Most are part timers anyway and worse still some might not really know what are the features of the products that are being offered.

5) Long crowds queue - a definite no….no….. unless you got the time .

Now lets’s look at the preview snippets……..
