Comex Aug 2008

Ho Ho Ho!
Had a good time with Charissa at the Comex show yesterday even though both of us came out quite sick from the show. We were both very happy with our purchases! She managed to get her Creative Zen Xi-Fi player, which looks really cool! (I hope the spelling is correct) And I got my dad a bluetooth for his handphones (Which connects to 2 phones at a time! Ain't that coooool???) Then I got myself a lappy! Heex. Now, You will see me stuck to my laptop with my favourite game!
I was choosing between a few brands, Acer, BenQ, LG and Dell cz their prices are more reasonable. BenQ has a really cool laptop which has a 13.3" screen and pretty good specs but I haven't tried that brand before so I am a little worried on that. LG's promoter kept giving me all kinds of discounts and freebies so I was rather tempted to buy but their price a still a little on the high side and the specs wasn't as good for the price range. Then came Acer! One of my favourite brands. Their 12.1" laptop was selling at $1,298 and it was PRETTY! Unfortunately, I didn't really like the sales person.
So i settled for Dell. Their price is one of the best for the same specs compared with other brands. I got myself Dell Inspiron 1420, Expresso Brown cover.
At the price of $1,299, it comes with the following specs
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5750
Memory - 4 GB Dual Channel 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Disk - 320GB SATA Hard Drive
Screen - 14.1" Widescreen WXGA TFT Display with 2.0 MP webcam
Operating System - Windows Vista Home Premium
Graphics - 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Optical Drive - 8X DVD RW Drive
McAfee - 15months
Bluetooth - Dell wireless 355 Bluetooth
Wireless - Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band 802.11a/b/g 54 Mbps Mini-card
Warranty - 1 Year
The only sad thing... I can only get it in 2 weeks. =( But I am still quite happY! hahhx
After which Charissa and I had lunch at Marina Square. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it had really wonderful food! It was located next to Swensens and Ribs is one of its outstanding dishes. I had Grilled Chicken with mango slices on it, which was WONDERFUL! hahhx The mango was very sweet and it goes very well with the chicken. *Yummm* Charissa had Honey Baby-Ribs which looked quite nice too. heex. She even packed the ribs she couldn't finish back home to eat. So it must be of some standard!
Then went home after our lunch. On our way back, saw Vivien at Citilink but unfortunately she didn't see me. =( Nevertheless, she still looks so pretttyyyy =) Must catch up with her someday.
That's all for now!
