Christmas Day Happenings!

We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry christmas , we wish you a merry christmas and a happy.. SHOPPING!

Good morning OG, good morning Bugis street, good morning Bugis Junction, good morning Sim Lim Square! Shopping shopping shopping... DISCOUNTS!

First up, Sim Lim Square! Time to buy new laptop! But not for me =( Walked around and around.

Conditions:

  1. Laptop had to be lighter than 2kg
  2. 3 years warranty parts and labour with 1 year international
  3. Windows Xp to be installed instead of Vista for compatibility issues.
  4. discrete graphics card if possible
  5. 4GB ram
  6. HDD 160gb or bigger.
  7. Cost + - 2k

So, we finally chose btw a SONY SR and FUJITSU S6420 well, Fujitsu won, cuz of its warranty and it is made in Japan. It fulfilled the above criteria.  I did have an observation that Sony was very cool despite having the same processor. The Fujitsu lappy was hot on one side though, I wonder how did sony prevent that. Sony's keyboard was also a joy to type on. Fujitsu had the same plasticky feeling since eons ago, but it traded looks for size and form factor. There wasn't really any other brand that i trust and also fulfills the above criteria.

If it was me though, i would choose LENOVO X200!

Alright, we are already late for the BBQ after this long shopping. Well, bugis street was too difficult to resist! Not enough time! Too many people! Ok tried to shop something and in the end, only got a pair of shorts for $15. Its considered a steal of which i will explain later.

Ok so i went on the Bugis Junction and walked around inside. Seeing all those shops that didn't have brands that I could recognise, I thought i could buy things for a steal.
