Sitex IT fair coverage, from launches and demos to fairground deals.
The Creative Sound Blaster Roar carry-bag retails for S$19, exclusive to Creative Stores. I got mine free with the Sound Blaster Roar I bought at Sitex 2014. I'm not impressed with its quality, as the fabric mesh shed loose threads.
After reviewing the X-mini CLEAR and consulting my audiophile blogger friend Renhao, we agreed it wasn't worth S$299. So I sought another portable speaker for my dad, and Renhao recommended the Creative Sound Blaster Roar, a well-reviewed, value pick.
I'd long wanted the thecoopidea 10.6A Power Block but lacked the impulse to buy. The Coop Idea was co-founded by two friends who grew up in New Zealand. Its RRP is S$99, though MobyShop sells it for S$79.90.
My second hoot from SITEX 2010 is the A.C. Ryan Playon! HD at S$349, bundled with a 2TB drive and a free Wireless N dongle. I chose it because it plays nearly every format, including RM and RMVB.
Hooted the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1TB with USB 3.0 from SITEX 2010 for S$189.90, down from S$209.90. It's my first USB 3.0 device despite owning no computer that supports it yet, purely for future-proofing.
Here are SingTel's Singnet Broadband promotions for Sitex 2009, available at SingTel retail shops since they're skipping a booth this year. Highlights include a free white 13-inch Apple MacBook worth S$1,588 with the 10Mbps Premium plan at S$88 monthly.
Here are the IT fair dates in Singapore for 2009: IT Show in March, PC Show in June, Comex in September and Sitex in November, all held at Suntec City. Handy for planning gadget purchases around the year.
Went to Sitex 2008 yesterday with Julian, Kelvin and Weiquan; surprisingly it wasn't very crowded. I'm starting to dislike Sitex for being so far out. This year disappointed: Ban Leong skipped it, so there were no Razer products at all.
