A Grocery for Gadgets
PC Gilmore Marketing Consultant John Balajadia hosted the event.
To give us a feel of their "Grocery for Gadgets" concept, they invited speakers from the different brands which they carry to discuss their latest products.
The first speaker is from Asus who discussed about their new N43SL. According to him, the cover of the laptop is made from brushed aluminum. The specs are: Intel Core i5-2410M, 2G DDR3 1333Mhz, 500GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce NV GT540M 2G VRAM, 14" LED display, 1 x USB 3.0, Card reader, BT, 2MP webcam, DVD Combo, HDMI port, Sonic Master Technology, B&O Ice Power, Win 7 Basic, 6 cell battery.
To prove the good audio quality of the new N43SL, he played a sample song in the laptop.
The next speaker Channel Sales Specialist of Asus Terence Lim, discussed the new Asus SabertoothP67. One of the striking characteristics of this motherboard is its own cooling system so there's no need to add a cooling fan.

The third speaker is the 4P Manager of Lenovo SMB Francis Ivan Judan who discussed the history of IBM and Lenovo then showed us the new Lenovo Edge. I learned from him that the ThinkPad has been around for 18 years. Actually, I remember the first laptop that my family had at home is a ThinkPad and back in the days, it was very dependable. According to Francis, since 1992 upto 2010, there were 60 million ThinkPad sold all over the world which gives them the edge so their new ThinkPad is named, ThinkPad Edge. ThinkPad Edge is a lot cheaper than the regular big ThinkPad but it has the important functions of the regular one. The ThinkPad Edge has a spill-resistant keyboard and it has a legacy APS (Action Protection System) that pauses your laptop when you're running around to avoid damage or data loss. Oh yes! I repeat, running around with your laptop while it is on can damage it or cause data loss which only ThinkPad or ThinkPad Edge can prevent with their APS.

How does APS work? The APS transducer warn early when the laptop is falling or shaking. The laptop stops reading and writing upon getting this signal. Force disk head starts unloading (within 500ms), the data is protected and once the laptop stabilizes, the laptop goes back into the normal working state. As shown on the picture above, the ThinkPad Edge can be wide opened without having to worry since there's a part behind it that acts as breaks.
What's more? ThinkPad Edge also has a battery monitor to measure how long the battery will last and how worn out the battery is.
The fourth speaker, Aileen Chua of Logitech showed their latest product which is the very first of its kind in the market today, their Solar Keyboard. Say goodbye to batteries and charging with the wireless Solar Keyboard.
