The PC Fair 2009 (II)
Sep 4th
As usual, I will try to make some time to go to PC Fair. So I went to PC Fair 2009 (II) with my youngest brother on Saturday.
PC Fair 2009 (II)
I don’t have any plan to buy anything except for my brother. He wanted to buy a thumbdrive. I didn’t bring my camera so I’ve used my brother’s camera phone, so the picture quality might not be that good. To me, it is fine.
From what I can see, this time P1 W1MAX doesn’t advertise as much as before. The most visible brand in the fair would be Kaspersky. They are basically everywhere… Because of that, you can see Jackie Chans’s face nearly everywhere. They have an area of their own beside the PC Guru area as well.
In front of the PC Guru show room they have this contest on why you are proud to be a Malaysian. Just take the note sheet and fill up the form behind and write down the reason you are proud to be a Malaysian. The question is “52 Reason To Be A Proud Malaysian” (is not actually a a question, but I think you get what I mean).
The first hall have been change to a different theme… The Online Games occupied the first hall. Most of the games are Chinese language online games so don’t really check it out. The thing I like about online games exhibitors are their booths. The have really nice booth and there’s people with the character’s costume.
Same as the previous fair, the 2nd hall occupied the notebooks and they have put on a notice that the audio hall have been change to the end of 5th hall.
So we continue our journey in search of thumbdrive. When we reach the lower level halls, we realize that the price of the thumbdrive is nearly the same as outside. Anyway, we are there so might as well that we purchase it.
Microsoft have a few cool thing that they offer but to me still not cheap enough. hehehe…. Still love to visit steelseries booth although I’m not so into computer gaming.
One of the offer that I’m interested in is A4Tech G6 Saver Wireless Desktop that cost RM79. It comes with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse 2.4GHz frequency (very fast…) For a combo it is very cheap and the specs is super cool. Check out the images below:
At last I saw something that I’ve been wanting for quite sometime… The Kingston’s Terra Cotta Warrior Limited Edition flash drive… For 4GB it cost RM69. For me it is worth it as I collected Kingston’s Limited Edition collection. My brother bought an 8GB DataTraveller 100 for RM50. As I’ve told you that the price is not that much different if you buy it at the shop. Will blog more about my Limited Edition Kingston’s flash drive collection. There’s also the 32GB (RM219) and 64GB (Rm459).
As usual, Kingston will have this lucky draw each time you buy a Kingston product for more than RM30 if I’m not mistaken. So I went and queue with my brother. I got a Kingston tote bag and my brother got a Kingston’s keychain. I already have 3 of those bag. I think it is my luck with bags… 
At the last 5th hall, is where they put the broadband provider and the audio thingy… This time the broadband provider not as aggressive as before. Even their booth are smaller than before. I’ve just got to know that my friend took DIGI wireless broadband and to her that it seems that the coverage is quite bad in her area.
Celcom Broadband introduce their new modem design. The Limited Edition Celcom Broadband MTV World Stage USB Stick for only RM249 (marketing style pricing, they can put RM250 but RM249 looks a bit cheaper I think. Hehe…) and you’ll get 2 MTV World Stage passes (with selected packages). The modem looks very cool… and the price of the modem is cheap too.
Epson organise a recycling campaign (it is part of the e-Waste Recycling Campaign by PIKOM and the Department of Environment) which they will give you a RM10 voucher in exchange with your old PC, printer, laptop or monitor of any brand and condition. The problem to me is that most visitor doesn’t know about this and to bring the PC or printer to PC Fair is a bit troublesome to me and RM10… oh please… but overall the campaign is good for the public awareness on recycling their IT products, at least they do something to help protect the environment, right?
This time the PC Fair layout is a bit different compared to PC Fair 2009 (I) and I think it better that way as the visitor won’t get bored to the same layout for each visit.
Went back straight after that.

PIKOM PC Fair 2008 (III)
Dec 17th
Sorry that I cannot post this during the weekend as I still didn’t have an Internet connection at home.
So, it might be too late to write about the offers that they have at the PIKOM PC Fair so I will tell part of my experience on my visit.
As usual I will go to PC Fair on Friday after work. This time I went alone as my partner in crime is on leave.
I noticed there are few new marketing style that some of the exhibitor used and it is really interesting. It is new in PC Fair to me. Before I continue, for those who are looking for pictures of the PC Fair Babes, I’m sorry to disappoint you. Recently I can see a lot of these people who is walking around with their big DSLR camera and taking this “PC Fair Babes” pictures. Sometimes it makes me sick. It’s their way of enjoying the fair I think or maybe they have some other plan. Whatever…
This time I don’t really check out the fair as I was really on a hurry (my wife working night shift, need to get back a bit early). Anyway, I got back at 9 p.m. (luckily my wife is in a good mood that night).
It started with something new from Intel. They have a room to introduce a few of their latest products and they called the session “PC Guru”. I’m looking forward to see the Packet 1 (P1) booth as there’s a lot of their
The other halls on 3rd floor have the same exhibitor as before and I will skip all that. My interest is more towards the 1st floor halls where all the very hot action is going on. Nah… more vendor and cheaper price. Here you need to be careful of low quality items as everything are cheap. Here is where all the wireless broadband service provider being put together.
Before I forgot, there is a new company (I think) that have this so called new technology on PC sharing. They called it “K-One Multi PC System”. The system shared the main PC resources and there is this device that split it to become another set of workstation. I’m not sure how cost effective it is, but it looks cool. For further info just call the numbers on the flyer and don’t forget to mentioned my blog address. Haha…
Anyway, I bought 2 8GB Kingston thumbdrive and managed to get a bag and a handphone pouch from the lucky draw that they have. They have this competition, just checkout the scanned form below. You can visit their blog at www.kingston-blog.com and post the pictures that you took during PIKOM PC Fair or anything that related to Kingston and/or Kingston products and post it in Kingston’s blog, you are entitled to win some prizes. Just check out the blog la… Valid until 21st December 2008.
The “Kingston Go Green & Win” is a different competition than the “blog” competition.
The most revealing product type that is sold at the PC Fair this time is the notebook skin. Yup! One of the biggest local brand would be the VEGE. You can check out their product at www.vege.com.my. Unfortunately that I do not have a notebook. I think that is the trend nowadays and there is more people using notebook now compare to a few years back.
In the last hall, near to the exit, they have all the broadband and wireless broadband provider. P1 have this air chamber that you need to collect as much of fake RM notes. I’m not so sure what is the promotion that they are doing because too much of disturbance. As I walk around that area, there are a lot of agent for the broadband provider everywhere. So, I can’t really concentrates on what is happening around that area.
Anyway, when I pass down the MAXIS booth, a sales person manage to persuade me to change my prepaid Hotlink line to MAXIS postpaid. It was free anyway.
Above are some shots of the booth that I remembered to take before I left.
It was cool this time. Can’t wait for next year PIKOM PC Fair in April… I think… haha.
