Today's the first day of the exhibition. Got there at about 9:45am, and waited till 10 for the thing to start. There was like a myriad of stores giving out a myriad of pamphlets. We also did some surveys and go free stuff, like a card reader. Yeah. I then wandered around the computer suppliers like Acer, hp, IT'S A SONY, and Asus. Need to buy a new lappy for uni, plus the lappy I'm using right now fails. It doesn't eve have an wireless adaptor or DVD drives. DX. Laptops in NZ are now actually pretty close to price to Taiwan Laptops because of the gay exchange rate. I think theres some stuff NZ doesn't have though.
So I talked to random salespersons (I left the catalogues at uncles company so I cant rem the processor details etc) and so, and got these ones that I would consider:
ALL THE PRICES WILL BE LESS THAN WHAT I SAY BECAUSE ITS CHEAPER AT EXHIBITION XD
(IT'S A SONY!) Vaio CR365 (or something) - 14' widescreen, T8100(2,1Ghz), 2g RAM (free upgrade to 4g), 250gb HDD, video card not that good though, 4hr battery life - 29,800 NT
Asus F80 - 14' widescreen, T5800(2.0Ghz), 3g ram, ATI HD 3470 256MB, 250gb HDD, 2.5 hr battery - around 29,500 NT
Acer Inspire 4935G (Probably a new one, didnt see anything similar in NZ) -
1. T5800(2.0GHz), 512mb Nvidia9300M graphics, 2g RAM, 320GB hdd, dolby surround sound - 33,900
2. P8600(2.4Ghz) dual 2 core, 512mb Nvidia9300M, 4g RAM, 320GB HDD - 41,900 NT
By the way, I might go for acer because I can apparently get it very cheap. Family has connections or something. Btw - they were talking about Wi-Max like Wifi but on www level as opposed to LAN level) and selling MP5's. O.o
We then went to lunch at Shabu Shabu - it is awesome. It had all the stuff you want for your pot, with stuff like pig's blood (yum yum). Dessert is awesome also. There was Umeboshi ice, which wasn't sour enough D: and soda ice blocks. Not to mention a lot of Taiwan-only stuff. Oh, there was instant noodles also. NZ should learn a bit.
Went to the book sale in the afternoon, but found nothing good. Couldn't find any good JLPT books. Instead, there was a lot of "learn english" books. Let's get that instead! Ahaha, no. So ended up not buying anything. Although I found several copies of guides to Akihabara (2005 edition)... lol. Also was a pretty thick book on Tezuka Osamu and 6 other Mangaka's or something. Not that interested though.
Help me decide on a lappy XD
