Updates on Johor Bahru/ Johor Baru PIKOM PC Fair 2008

December 23rd, 2008 lawrence.gan


The PIKOM PC Fair (III) finally ended on the 21st Dec 2008. Held at the Persada Johor International Center, it attracted throngs of crowds and due to the lack of parkings, you can see the Multi-Storey carpark fully occupied and with cars parked back to back either sides of the public main roads as well.

Just like COMEX and SITEX found in Singapore, the PIKOM PC Fair (III) hosted major brands like Sony, Samsung, Acer, HP, BenQ and Dell. The prices are as attractive as that found in Singapore and it makes more sense to purchase your IT products here than in Singapore if you stay in Johor Bahru.

Besides the usual wares like laptops, LCQ monitors, TVs and printers, you can find plenty of computer accessories on the cheap. I bought some oem printer inks for RM$5 (those you can refill yourself).

 

The only downside is really the squeeze. The exhibition space is only about 40% of that held in Suntec City and Singapore Expo. In addition, there is only 1 exit point! A potential hazard if there is any fire breakout and panic!
