Talking

I went to Lowyat Plaza buying a piece of Windows 7 Home Premium(32bit+64bit DVD) at RM469 yesterday.As I’m going to buy a new computer in the near month,so I need to have one more copy of Windows to install on that PC.

RM469 is still a promotional price and the official retail price is RM525.I installed this brand new operating system into my 4-year-old Lenovo laptop.It took approximately 30 minutes from reassigning the hard disk to completing the installation.Window 7 can recognize most drivers for the hardware,so it saved quite a lot of time on this part.

The only issue I met is for the audio driver.The Windows driver can make it work and so I spent several hours to look for a latest driver which is compatible to Windows 7.However,I was not so lucky.After all,I decided to use Vista driver and manually installed it and it worked half of the function-I could get sounds from speakers,but my internal microphone didn’t work.

Anyway,Windows 7 is really faster a lot than Windows Vista and better on arranging the resources too.Now I’m going to solve the microphone problem.I wish I could work it out.Or anyone wanna help me?

If you think that stuff in PC fair surely is cheap,you are wrong.

Yan and I went to PC fair on last Friday and she was looking for an All-in-one printer.We just walked around there to collect the price info first.After all,we thought Canon Pixma MP145 fits the requirements and it was only selling at RM199,however,without any gift.We thought it was cheap.

But later when I checked the price in Lowyat Plaza,I recognized what I thought was totally wrong.It was only tagged at RM175.Yes,it was a 14% difference.

Thus,please don’t think you could always get the cheaper goods in PC fair.In face,if you want to save some money,you still have to do a comparison on price before you buy something.

That’s a golden rule.
