trip to IT show

went to IT show just now to help my dad get a laptop to replace the ailing one at home.. reached there around 12pm, just before the official opening hour, and man was it crowded..
so many people there to get advantages of the free gifts and special promotional prices.. luckily i did my homework prior going there, else i would be stuck there for hours deciding which one to buy.. i went to hardwarezone.com's forum to check out potential brands and their prices.. it boiled down to acer, axioo, and levono..
after checking out their booths and the laptops physically, i decided on acer aspire 2920Z, the one which suits my dad's budget and requirements. and so off i went, in less than 30 minutes..
with the advent of internet, one could really get loads of information with just a click of the mouse.. the IT show started only yesterday, but this morning, i could get full review of the show by showcasing all the major brands and good deals they are having now, really saved me tons of time..
but internet, like all technological advances, is a double-sided knife, each with advantages and disadvantages.. hoped more are leaning towards to better ones..
back to configuring the lappie..
