ASUS W5F
Thursday Tian, Henry, Shou Bi and I cheong-ed down to EXPO after work, rushing rather madly to the show halls to grab my object of desire before the show closes for the day. Managed to get a good price as Henry was good in bargaining. Moreover, the exhibitors were not honest; they had no more stock of the exact specifications as in the brochure. Cheater bugs! Heng I spotted the discrepancy on the sticker on their display set. On the sticker it's 512MB RAM, 100GB HDD for $2,698, whereas on the flyer it's 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD for the same price. They claimed they could give us a free upgrade to 1GB RAM, but for HDD there are only sets with 100GB left. And for that variance of 20GB HDD, we have to pay $100 more. What? Or course bohua, lah. Good thing we managed to shove it back to $2,698.
Last night WW and I went down to EXPO, this time he to buy a laptop and a printer. We reached the show halls at slightly after 830pm, but still managed to grab what were needed. The smart man had done his homework, so we simply zoomed in on our hunts. He got a EPSON printer and a LG laptop - a cool piece with ivory-silver casing, a typical Korean product with the looks and the specs.
It feels good to be empowered. With the spending capabilities. Hooyay.
