"You better watch up! You better not cry! The PC Fair is coming to town!"
What does PC fair means to Malaysians?
- It's all about DIGITAL! PC, laptop, camera, storage, memory, pen-drive, broadband and etc, even credit card application.
- It's all about CHEAP! Must grab the cheapest!
- It's all about JAM! No matter inside outside, people or car.
- It's all about NOISE! Shouting here and there, just like night market!
Got photos from the PC fair? Sorry, I lazy to bring my camera there. Just too crowded. I went there last minute to shop something I need.
Let's see what I got：
All my goods from PC fair - 2 of them are free gift
Let's go thru one by one!
8GB 133x Kingston CF Card - RM68
E-3Blue Card Reader/Writer - RM50
With 59 in 1 USB2.0 Multislot
With CF Card Attached
The main purpose I buy this card reader is for my camera's CF Card. Before, I need more than 5 minutes to transfer 1GB files from CF card. Now, I just need 30 seconds! Wow, that is turbo FAST!
Notebook Cool Pad - RM 8 each
Turned ON!
3 Fans
Well, I don't have intention to get the cool pad before going there. It just toooo cheap. So, I bought two, one for myself and one for my wife. Both of us using laptop everyday. Now, my hand feel better, no more "overheat"!
Put under my M90, it's cool!
Here come the most expensive thing I bought today:
1TB Maxtor Basics External Hard Drive & Free Gift - RM 339
* 1TB = One Terabyte
Free Gift - HP outside, Coca-Cola inside? What ever la, better than no gift.
The Box
The Content
The Drive and Cables
The Hard Drive
How big is One Terabyte (1TB)? Well, let's play with some number for better interpretation.
1TB = 1024GB (Gigabyte)
1GB = 1024MB (Megabyte)
1MB = 1024KB (Kilobyte)
1KB = 1024 bytes
So, 1TB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
But, how big is 1,099,511,627,776 bytes? Ok, put it this way, it can store:
- 214,748,365 JPEG photos (assume 1 photo = 5MB, with 10 Megapixel)
- 89,478,485 RAW format photos (assume 1 RAW file = 12MB)
- 268,435,456 songs (assume 1 songs = 4MB)
- 1,533,917 VCD movies (assume 1 movie = 700MB)
- 262,144 DVD movies (assume 1 movie = 4GB)
Now, can you imagine how big it is??? How big the space you needed for 214,748,365 printed photos? How big the space u need for 1,533,917 VCDs or 262,144 DVDs?
With that 1TB, you can save all the space in just 5" x 8" x 1.5" dimension. The MOST important is, it just cost me RM 339. WOW!!!! How much will it cost in next PC Fair? That's CRAZY!
I bought it to backup all my photos. I really can't imagine if one day, I fill up the space with my photos. To find a photo? That must be beyond CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY!
