The highlight of this show must be the HP touchpad slashing its price down to ridculous level for limited number of set everyday for the 4 days shows...check out this report:

I believe got ppl queuing up tonight.

See how these kiasu rushed for the touchpad when the door opens this morning:

Also, there are already complain of KELONG.... they start giving out the HP touchpad voucher at 8am this morning, but one of my friend who was in the queue noticed that the number is definitely less than 500....we suspect that the HP themselves had oredi taken a number of voucher for themselves..

Read this report posted in STOMP:
Just a 'gimmick': 200 HP TouchPads all sold out -- even before Comex opens

okay one very good news for me:

i7 core 2 generation is now selling below $1000 at $999 for one of acer and asus model...... but then the bad news is that the acer is sold at MC2 and the asus at Newstead...two of my blacklisted SLS retailers....now in the dilemna whether to buy from them or not?....If i wanto buy, i will probably buy asus, less problem...although only 500GB HDD compared to acer 650GB HDD, the asus model feels much more better,....acer throwing in 8GB ram, asus at 6GB but i haven't negotiate yet...still thinking....maybe on the last day of the show than decide.....the acer i saw at 4th level, while the asus is at 3rd level under the escalator....TAKE NOTE THAT BOTH MODELS ARE NOT FEATURED IN THE BROCHURE, YOU HAVE TO GO THERE TO LOOK AT IT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED...

LED monitors are dropping like crazy, i am getting a good one for my nephew.... recce all the brands and in the end, I will probably buy a DELL 23" Full HD LED for only $209 on Sunday becos they may drop the price at the last day of the show after 6pm.


Okay, for those of you going down, pls be reminded again of the following:

1) Check that all prices advertised are inclusive of GST
2) Check if they charged extra for using credit card or nets...if you are paying cash, draw your money first before you go down to Suntec City becos all the ATMs there got long queue...
3) If they tell you that they will upgrade the RAM for you, make sure they do it in front of you...also ask for name of the sales person who promise you the any upgrade
4) check and ask about the warranty.. like whether it is manufacturer warranty or retailers warranty...also whether it is on-site warranty or not...for eg Dell monitor is on-site warranty...
5) Dont forget to redeem your free gift.
6) For you laptop, check your configure before you go home, if it is stated 6gb ram or 1gb graphic card, switch on the computer and check the computer hardware properties to verify...

I thinks that it all for now....good luck on your shopping at COMEX...

Very useful reminder list, Bus 64.

May I just add that it may be useful to have a photocopy of someone's student pass too - sometimes, they have special "student offers" which you may want to take advantage of. They just need it as "evidence".

Don't worry about it Bus, I've also given myself the same 24 hours to forget about it. If you post like that without getting anything personal, I'm sure that everybody will welcome you here. I remember we used to chat about Hatyai cheerfully. I really don't know what turned you into flaming me and others. If you don't like me or anyone else, just leave us alone and you'll still have your own space to post.
