Life is about Having Fun

If you are not in a rush to purchase any electronic items (especially computers & notebooks), you must really wait for the IT fair. It is usually held 3-4 x a year in Singapore.

I had just purchased a laptop HP EasyNote BU45-012 for $1300 (include 1% charge because of Nets payment).

The specs: T5200@1.6GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 CAche, 100GB SATA. Mobile Intel Core 2Duo 1 GB DDR2, DVD-RW Dual layer, 4 in 1 (SD/MMC/MS/MSpro) Integrated webcam. Ehternet LAN, buetooth, finger print and windows vista home premium. It also come with free upgrade to 2.5GB RAM, free notebook bag, and free xtra 1 battery, plus 1 chance to take the lucky dip (which I have won a HD EasyMouse-this is actually the no. 3 to prize). The weight is only 1.8 kg include battery. I only spent less than 1 hour to decide which one I wanted to buy. I told the sales staff straight that my budget will be below $1500 with 2 conditions: Lighter than my current laptop (Acer TravelMate 3282WXMi which I bought at $2000, 1.5 years ago) and it must have integrated webcam.

Ok, i have no idea what those specs mean..(seriously) and just now I have a hard time understanding HP laptop. The configuration is different from Acer.

I actually bought the last piece of such HP laptop that they have on stock today. The original retail price is $1600. Kinda of happy with the lucky draw & also good price.

If you are looking for new laptops here are other cheap and about the same standard, offers that I may recommend:

1. Dell Inspiron 1420 $1249
2. Toshiba Satellite M200-E431 at $1499

The IT fair also offers laptop that cost only $999-$1100 (Acer and Toshiba).

Hurry up, tomorrow will the the last day of the fair.

PS. Currently Expo also holding a up to 90% sales for branded clothes, bags and shoes. But you must bear with pushing yourself in the middle of aunties & foreign workers.
