Promised my darling this Saturday or Sunday will make pizza for him, only criteras are cannot use bread and must taste good. Will be uploading the pictures/video soon. Tml will be shopping for the ingredients at Carrefour, meanwhile will make a 2nd trip to the PC show. Just went on thurs with yunru. The deals are quite exciting over there!
My personal favourite at the show is Samsung Q35-C006, good specs:
- Intel Centrino, Duo Core Proccessor, 1.66GHZ
- 80GB SATA HDD
- Superdrive
- 12.1 glossy display (cool!)
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (suckx but oh well, people say I play "Jin Yong Qun Xia Zhuan 1995" MS DOS version anyway, no need good graphic card!)
- 7 hours batt life
- 1.89 kg
- 3 yr warranty, 1st yr int, 2nd and 3rd year local.
- With Win XP Home
- the person is willing to throw in a webcam if i buy from him some more.
- Price: $2299
Very surprised this time Apple did not participate in the PC show. wonder how's the deals. Really want to look at the Macbook! The specs are great and it cost less than $2000 for the lower end one. Beautiful machine with Mac OS X. But elder sis was complaining to me that I better don't get an intel based mac so soon. She's just really wondering why Apple can sell so cheap when all other brands of the sames specs would have easily cost around $2500 or above! Another thing she mentioned that really wake me up from my mac dreams: "Why must you pay to be a pioneer? People should pay you to take the risk!" Really sound like Robert Kiyosaki! Makes a lot of sense and I'm now looking at PCs.
Went home and compared with the deal at NUS, NUS even better, with their ACER Travelmate 3012WTMi, slight diff only
- 12.1 non-glossy screen (OUCH!... haiz!)
- Battery life 4hrs ( =.= )
- 1.5 kg ( this is cool!!!!)
- 3 years INTERNATIONAL and ON-CAMPUS warranty! (perfect for students going for overseas student exchange program!)
- WIN XP PRO
- built in webcam =)
- FREE MACROMEDIA STUDIO INSTALLTION CD!
- Price: $2297 after GST ( Payment mode only cash, nets, cheque...no credit card!!!)
Asked NUS about Macbook, they say they not expecting it until August, matriculation period. By that time I buy notebook cannot use it to play liaoz! I can't wait to get a notebook and stop fighting with my younger sis over the computer!! At the same time, with my own personal notebook, it will really be much more convenient for my internet marketing endeavours! Set my goal of earning a passive income of $2000 by the time school starts!
Well other than the issue about payment mode I have no qualms about getting an Acer soon. Not a matriculated student yet so cant borrow from NUS. only person to borrow from is dad, but with much reluctance. I do not like to borrow money from dad, already borrow so much from him for my uni education, and those $$$ are like for his retirement... But lucky mum asked for me ba, it's very hard for me to open my mouth to ask for $$$ from him... (which explains why I'm desperate to earn $$$!)
Well it's time for me to sleep. Tml 11am go suntec! maybe bring my cam around then can take photos! Hear that this time no Nokia girls, too bad guys!
