    PIKOM PC Fair, 7-9 August 2009, Sabah Trade Centre, Kota Kinabalu

    August 7th, 2009

    Open 11am – 9pm.

    Initial observations:

    Someone mentioned that the hall looks like a giant ward – so many people wearing surgical masks, although I don’t think it would do much good in preventing oneself from being infected with the A(H1N1) virus. Better wear a gas mask, or even better, a full biohazard suit!

    Parking: as usual, difficult to get a space. Perhaps better aim for that empty space next to Likas Square, plenty of space there Friday afternoon.

    Some items that I browsed during Friday lunchtime.

    Disclaimer: I mentally noted the specs & prices – I could be mistaken.

    China brand RMVB/MP4 player, HDMI/RCA output, 2 USB ports: RM159

    China brand RMVB/MP4 player, RCA output, 1 USB port: RM99

    China brand RMVB/MP4/MKV player: not available ?

    Western Digital RMVB/MP4/MKV player: RM429

    Western Digital My Book Essential 1TB: RM399 [apparently there's another booth selling the same thing for RM315?]

    Samsung 1TB 3.5″ hard disk with enclosure: RM268

    Western Digital 500GB SATA 2.5″ hard disk only: RM309

    Western Digital 500GB 2.5″ hard disk c/w Western Digital casing: RM359; an even cheaper alternative found by Ray: Western Digital 500GB hard disk c/w Western Digital casing [No Touch Basix NT2500], 1 year warranty: RM315 (ACI Tech booth)

    Western Digital 320GB 2.5″ hard disk c/w Western Digital casing: RM259

    Western Digital 250GB SATA 2.5″ hard disk only: RM183

    Kingston 8GB thumbdrive: RM50

    Kingston 16GB thumbdrive: RM93

    ATech Glaser mouse (wired): RM25 (booth near back door)

    ATech Glaser mouse (wireless): RM59 (booth near back door)

    P.S. I did not see a single person below school-going age, not a good idea anyway for baby announcements.

    I think the imported GT chicks will always be better lookers than our PC Fair chicks …

    Oh shoot, why do they do a PC Fair at the beginning of the month?
    Why not after payday or something like that? Sheesh.

    Probably they thought it’s close enough to the end of July…

    I don’t go when there is one in KL. Low Yatt plaza is on PC fair mode all the time. More like pasar pagi style…or tamu.

    I share your sentiment: when we doublechecked some of the prices with KK’s LowYat (Karamunsing), they are exactly the same!
